Seeing All Sides: Multi-Perspective In-Context Learning for Subjective NLP (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Modern language models excel at factual reasoning but struggle with value diversity, authors say . task-sensitive tasks such as hate speech expose this limitation . human disagreement captures the diversity of plausible human perspectives, authors argue . |
| Approach: | They evaluate four large language models with human disagreements on five datasets . they find multi-perspective in-context learning outperforms standard prompting . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms standard prompting on English labels while disaggregated soft predictions better align with human judgments in Arabic and Italian datasets. |
Responsibility Perspective Transfer for Italian Femicide News (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work has shown that different descriptions of gender-based violence influence the reader’s perception of who is to blame for the violence. |
| Approach: | They propose to automatically rewrite GBV descriptions to alter the perceived level of blame on the perpetrator. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task alters perceived responsibility levels for perpetrators by using unsupervised, zero-shot and few-shot methods. |
Towards Multi-Perspective NLP Systems: A Thesis Proposal (2025.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to resolving disagreements ignore individual opinions and can result in the marginalization of minority perspectives. |
| Approach: | They propose to preserve individual labels in human-annotated datasets for subjective tasks and propose solutions for developing Perspective-Aware by design systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework will be used to develop more responsible and inclusive models. |
