Moderation in the Wild: Investigating User-Driven Moderation in Online Discussions (2024.eacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Effective content moderation is imperative for fostering healthy and productive discussions in online domains. |
| Approach: | They propose to document and release a dataset of comments in which users act as moderators. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset contains 1000 comment-reply pairs with crowdsourced annotations from a large annotator pool and fine-grained annotation schema targeting the functions of moderation, stylistic properties(aggressiveness, subjectivity, sentiment), constructiveness, and individual perspectives of the annotators on the task. |
Node Placement in Argument Maps: Modeling Unidirectional Relations in High & Low-Resource Scenarios (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument maps structure discourse into nodes with each node being an argument that supports or opposes its parent argument. |
| Approach: | They propose a task of node placement: suggesting candidate nodes as parents for a new contribution. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the quality of the argument maps and reduces redundancy. |
It Is Not Only the Negative that Deserves Attention! Understanding, Generation & Evaluation of (Positive) Moderation (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Moderation is essential for maintaining and improving the quality of online discussions. |
| Approach: | They annotate a dataset on 13 modes of discussion and use it to generate positive moderation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that professional moderation generates higher ratings than professional moderated moderation, but prefers professional moderate in pairwise comparison. |
Towards Argument Mining for Social Good: A Survey (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument Mining is a social science-based approach to analysis and analysis of arguments. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel definition of argument quality which integrates the social science literature and the argument quality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed definition of argument quality integrates the social science literature and the argument quality debate. |
PerspectiveMod: A Perspectivist Resource for Deliberative Moderation (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Human moderators in online discussions face a heterogeneous range of tasks that go beyond content moderation, or policing. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset of online comments annotated for the question "Does this comment require moderation?" they aim to improve discussion quality by analyzing annotator perspectives and annotating their views. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is unique in its intentional variation across the level of moderation experience embedded in the source data, the annotator profiles and the individuality of the annnotator. |
How to Translate Your Samples and Choose Your Shots? Analyzing Translate-train & Few-shot Cross-lingual Transfer (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have focused on zero-shot cross-lingual transfer of pretrained languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use few-shot cross-lingual transfer to improve zero-shot performance of multilingual pretrained language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be scaled to high-quality samples and improves on zero-shot performance. |
