Papers with functional tests
HateCheck: Functional Tests for Hate Speech Detection Models (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Hate speech detection models are evaluated by measuring their performance on held-out test data using metrics such as accuracy and F1 score. |
| Approach: | They propose a suite of functional tests for hate speech detection models that measure model performance on held-out test data and then craft test cases to validate their quality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tests show that the proposed models perform poorly on a small set of widely-used hate speech datasets. |
Learning from the Worst: Dynamically Generated Datasets to Improve Online Hate Detection (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Detecting online hate speech has proven difficult and concerns raised about performance, robustness, generalisability and fairness of stateof-the-art models. |
| Approach: | They propose a human-and-model-in-the-loop process for dynamically generating datasets and training better performing hate detection models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on a dataset of 40,000 hateful entries . the model is harder for annotators to trick and better on HateCheck . |
ER-Test: Evaluating Explanation Regularization Methods for Language Models (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Explanation regularization (ER) aims to improve NLM generalization by pushing the NLM’s machine rationales to align with human rationale. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for evaluating ER models’ OOD generalization along three dimensions: unseen datasets, contrast set tests, and functional tests. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework evaluates ER models’ OOD generalization across unseen datasets, contrast set tests, and functional tests. |
Generation-Based Data Augmentation for Offensive Language Detection: Is It Worth It? (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | generative data augmentation has been shown to be effective in offensive language detection but the potential for bias injection has not been investigated. |
| Approach: | They propose to investigate the robustness of models trained on generated data in a variety of data augmentation setups and analyze models using the HateCheck suite. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model training setups on four English offensive language datasets are robust and robust, while the generative DA setups do not present bias injection issues. |
LJPCheck: Functional Tests for Legal Judgment Prediction (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing LJP models fail to evaluate specific aspects of their performance, such as legal fairness and judicial fairness. |
| Approach: | They propose a suite of functional tests for LJP models to comprehend LJp models’ behaviors and offer diagnostic insights. |
| Outcome: | Extensive tests reveal weaknesses in LJP models and provide diagnostic insights. |
GPT-HateCheck: Can LLMs Write Better Functional Tests for Hate Speech Detection? (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | HateCheck test cases are generic and have simplistic sentence structures that do not match the real-world data. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to generate more diverse and realistic functional tests from scratch by instructing large language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework generates more diverse and realistic functional tests from scratch by instructing large language models (LLMs). |
