Why Should This Article Be Deleted? Transparent Stance Detection in Multilingual Wikipedia Editor Discussions (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Currently, only 20% of the English comments explicitly mention content moderation policies, but as few as 2% of the German and Turkish comments. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a multilingual dataset to predict stances with existing content moderation policies and to use them to explain moderation decisions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model predicts stances and corresponding reasons with high accuracy, adding transparency to the decision-making process. |

| Challenge: | Wikipedia’s perceived high quality and broad language coverage have established it as a fundamental resource in NLP. |
| Approach: | They propose a data filtering procedure which removes a large percentage of Wikipedia's data and a 4-level quality ranking of the site. |
| Outcome: | The results show that the proposed filtering procedure outperforms the raw Wikipedia models in three language modelling scenarios. |

| Challenge: | Current tools for legal argument reasoning do not support this task. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a large-scale dataset to facilitate work on the legal argument stance classification task by evaluating whether a case summary strengthens or weakens a legal argument. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is used to facilitate work on the legal argument stance classification task, which involves assessing whether a case summary strengthens or weakens a legal argument (polarity) and to what extent (intensity). |

| Challenge: | Argument mining is a subset of NLP that deals with extracting arguments from user-based content. |
| Approach: | They propose to use weakly supervised and semi-supervised methods to automatically annotate reviews and provide large annotated datasets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods can be used to learn better models for implicit/explicit opinion classification. |
WikiAtomicEdits: A Multilingual Corpus of Wikipedia Edits for Modeling Language and Discourse (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a corpus of 43 million atomic edits is available for Wikipedia edit history . edits are instances in which a human editor has inserted a single contiguous phrase into, or deleted a contigous phrase from, an existing sentence. |
| Approach: | They use Wikipedia edit history to mine atomic edits across 8 languages . they find edits contain instances in which a human editor has inserted a single phrase into, or deleted a contiguous phrase from, an existing sentence. |
| Outcome: | The data show that edits differ from the language observed in standard corpora and that models trained on edits encode different aspects of semantics and discourse than models trained in raw text. |
