Challenge: Phobias are characterized by an intense and irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities despite there being no real risk or only a minor threat involved.
Approach: They propose to use a dataset of 811,569 English tweets from user timelines spanning 102 phobia subtypes over six months to classify users into 65 specific phobias.
Outcome: The proposed dataset includes 47,614 self-diagnosed phobia users and a high f1 score for binary classification and multi-class classification.

What BERT Is Not: Lessons from a New Suite of Psycholinguistic Diagnostics for Language Models (2020.tacl-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Pretraining by language modeling has become popular but we have yet to understand what language models learn during that process.
Approach: They propose diagnostics that ask questions about information used by language models for generating predictions in context.
Outcome: The proposed diagnostics can be used to study the popular BERT model . they show that the model can distinguish good from bad completions, but struggles with inference and role-based event prediction.
