A Causal View of Entity Bias in (Large) Language Models (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity bias affects pretrained (large) language models, causing them to rely on (biased) parametric knowledge to make unfaithful predictions. |
| Approach: | They propose a structured causal model whose parameters are easier to estimate . they propose to perturb the original entity with neighboring entities . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model reduces biasing information pertaining to the original entity while still preserving sufficient semantic information from similar entities. |
Personality Understanding of Fictional Characters during Book Reading (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to predict characters' personalities have not been studied in the NLP field due to the lack of appropriate datasets mimicking the process of book reading. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset to predict characters' personalities that uses an exhaustive vocabulary of personality traits as targets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is efficient and accurate and relies on long-term context to achieve accurate predictions for both machines and humans. |
