“Are you kidding me?”: Detecting Unpalatable Questions on Reddit (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to detect online abuse focus on the more explicit forms of abuse . existing methods focus on detecting subtler forms of online abuse leaving them unnoticed . |
| Approach: | They propose a task to detect unpalatable questions using reddit data to implement a context-aware dataset and implement 'learning models' they hope future research will address subtle forms of abuse since harm passes unnoticed through existing detection systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on a dataset of reddit users and a conversational context. |

| Challenge: | Existing pre-trained language models are not well-explored and are not reproducible in the literature. |
| Approach: | They propose to improve existing Arabic language pre-trained language models using a more methodical approach. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform existing models on ALUE, a leaderboard-powered benchmark for Arabic NLU and NLG tasks. |

| Challenge: | citation-based QA systems are suffering from two shortcomings . they usually rely only on web as a source of extracted knowledge and external knowledge sources can hamper the efficiency of the system. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a web-based knowledge graph retrieval solution to enrich extracted knowledge fed to a citation-based QA system. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms open-source state-of-the-art models in 7 quantitative and human evaluation tasks. |
