Diachronic degradation of language models: Insights from social media (P18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have explored whether and how language models degrade over time, i.e. why they fail to work on contemporary language. |
| Approach: | They investigate the accuracy of pre-trained language models for downstream tasks in machine learning and user profiling. |
| Outcome: | The results show that it is possible to measure diachronic drifts within social media and within the span of a few years. |
Cross-Lingual Disaster-related Multi-label Tweet Classification with Manifold Mixup (2020.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Towards this goal, many studies have focused on disaster-related tweet classification. |
| Approach: | They compile a multilingual dataset for multi-label classification of disaster-related tweets . they show that their model generalizes to unseen disasters in the test set . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model generalizes to unseen disasters and improves with Manifold Mixup. |
Toxic Language Detection in Social Media for Brazilian Portuguese: New Dataset and Multilingual Analysis (2020.aacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Hate speech and toxic comments are a common concern of social media platform users . identifying toxic comments is important for studying and preventing the proliferation of toxicity in social media. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Brazilian Portuguese to analyze toxic or non-toxic tweets . they propose to analyze tweets as toxic or in different types of toxicity . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 76% macro-F1 score using monolingual data in the binary case. |
HateModerate: Testing Hate Speech Detectors against Content Moderation Policies (2024.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on hate speech detection have failed to answer this question. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset for testing the behaviors of automated content moderators against content policies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset includes hateful and non-hateful examples matching the 41 community standards guideline policies of Facebook. |
Entity Linking within a Social Media Platform: A Case Study on Yelp (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on entity linking focus on linking entities to knowledge bases, but on social media platforms, such as Yelp, it can be more practical. |
| Approach: | They propose to link entities within a social media platform with a new entity linking problem. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can link business mentions to corresponding businesses on a social media platform. |
Challenges and Opportunities in Information Manipulation Detection: An Examination of Wartime Russian Media (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Information manipulation campaigns rely on textbased news and social media content, and NLP can be a valuable tool in combating them. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to examine the use of NLP in public opinion manipulation campaigns in the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset contains 38M+ posts from Russian media outlets on Twitter and VKontakte, as well as public activity and responses, immediately preceding and during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war. |
Towards Sentiment and Emotion aided Multi-modal Speech Act Classification in Twitter (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Speech Act Classification determining the communicative intent of an utterance has been investigated widely over the years as a standalone task. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-modal, emotion-TA dataset called EmoTA from open-source Twitter dataset and a Dyadic Attention Mechanism framework that integrates intra-modal and inter-modal attention to fuse multiple modalities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework boosts the performance of the primary task, i.e., TA classification (TAC), by benefitting from the two secondary tasks, namely, Sentiment and Emotion Analysis compared to its uni-modal and single task TAC variants. |
RP-DNN: A Tweet Level Propagation Context Based Deep Neural Networks for Early Rumor Detection in Social Media (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for early rumor detection on social media platforms are limited, incomplete and noisy. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel hybrid neural network architecture which combines a task-specific character-based bidirectional language model and stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to represent textual contents and social-temporal contexts of input source tweets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art for detecting unseen rumors on large augmented data which covers more than 12 events and 2,967 rumors. |
PoliBERTweet: A Pre-trained Language Model for Analyzing Political Content on Twitter (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-trained domain-specific models are useful for understanding domain-level contexts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a pre-trained language model to better capture domain-specific contexts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms general-purpose models on election-related tasks. |

Nuo Chen, Hongguang Li, Junqing He, Yinan Bao, Xinshi Lin, Qi Yang, Jianfeng Liu, Ruyi Gan, Jiaxing Zhang, Baoyuan Wang, Jia Li
| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks for conversational machine reading comprehension are inconsistent with real scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a Chinese CMRC benchmark to evaluate model's generalization ability towards diverse domains by using zero-shot/few-shot settings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmarks are based on 831 hot-topic driven conversations with 4,742 turns and cover 33 domains. |
