APPDIA: A Discourse-aware Transformer-based Style Transfer Model for Offensive Social Media Conversations (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using style-transfer models to reduce offensiveness of social media comments is difficult because of limited labeled data. |
| Approach: | They propose two methods to integrate discourse relations with pretrained style-transfer models and evaluate them on a reddit dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can reduce offensiveness while preserving original meaning . they are the first to examine inferential links between comment and original text . |
