Contextualizing Argument Quality Assessment with Relevant Knowledge (2024.naacl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for assessing argument quality in isolation analyze their quality in the absence of context, which affects their accuracy and generalizability. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for scoring argument quality based on contextualization via relevant knowledge that leverages large language models to provide feedback, infer hidden assumptions, supply a similar-quality argument, or give a counter-argument. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods across multiple metrics in both in-domain and zero-shot setups. |
Robust Text Classification: Analyzing Prototype-Based Networks (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language models exhibit a drop in performance on noisy data, which can cause classifiers to incorrectly change their predictions. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Prototype-Based Networks to classify examples based on their similarity to prototypical examples of a class (prototypes) they show that PBNs offer more robustness under both targeted and static adversarial attacks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is robust to noise and targets both targeted and static attacks. |
