A Computational Analysis of the Dehumanisation of Migrants from Syria and Ukraine in Slovene News Media (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Dehumanisation involves the perception and/or treatment of a social group’s members as less than human. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a new sentiment resource to make it easier to transfer to other languages and to evaluate and use . they then apply the method to study attitudes to migration expressed in Slovene newspapers, and examine how this discourse changed between the 2015-16 migration crisis and the 2022-23 period following the war in Ukraine. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is easier to transfer to other languages and evaluates . it combines zero-shot cross-lingual valence and arousal detection with statistical significance testing to examine attitudes to migration expressed in Slovene newspapers . |

Bias Beyond English: Counterfactual Tests for Bias in Sentiment Analysis in Four Languages (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Sentiment analysis systems are used in hundreds of products and languages . Gender and racial biases are well-studied in English, but understudied elsewhere . |
| Approach: | They build a counterfactual evaluation corpus for gender and racial/migrant bias in four languages. |
| Outcome: | The evaluation corpus reveals which models have less bias and pinpoints changes in model bias behaviour, enabling more targeted mitigation strategies. |
Beyond Hate Speech: NLP’s Challenges and Opportunities in Uncovering Dehumanizing Language (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing hate speech datasets rarely contain enough instances of dehumanizing content, and current models struggle to distinguish such language from more benign forms of hate or offense. |
| Approach: | They evaluate four state-of-the-art large language models for dehumanization detection. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models perform only moderately under an optimized configuration, while others over-predict dehumanization for some identities, while under-identifying it for others. |
