Similarity Measures for the Detection of Clinical Conditions with Verbal Fluency Tasks (N18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Semantic Verbal Fluency tests have been used in the diagnosis of certain clinical conditions, like Dementia. |
| Approach: | They investigate three similarity measures for automatically identifying switches in semantic chains: semantic similarity from a manually constructed resource, word association strength and semantic relatedness, both calculated from corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed classifiers outperform those that use a gold standard taxonomy for clinical conditions. |
Evaluation of Question Answer Generation for Portuguese: Insights and Datasets (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Automatic question generation is an increasingly important task that can be applied in educational settings, data augmentation for question-answering (QA), and conversational systems. |
| Approach: | They adapt and apply QAG approaches to generate question-answer pairs given context and look into strategies for error filtering and their effects. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods can generate question-answer pairs in Portuguese, a widely spoken language that is underrepresented in natural language processing research. |
