TWEETSUMM - A Dialog Summarization Dataset for Customer Service

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Guy Feigenblat, Chulaka Gunasekara, Benjamin Sznajder, Sachindra Joshi, David Konopnicki, Ranit Aharonov

In most cases, at the end of the conversation, agents are asked to write a short summary emphasizing the problem and the proposed solution, usually for the benefit of other agents that may have to deal with the same customer or issue.

Using Question Answering Rewards to Improve Abstractive Summarization

1 code implementation Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Chulaka Gunasekara, Guy Feigenblat, Benjamin Sznajder, Ranit Aharonov, Sachindra Joshi

Particularly, the results from human evaluations show that the summaries generated by our approach is preferred over 30% of the time over the summaries generated by general abstractive summarization models.

Quality Controlled Paraphrase Generation

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Elron Bandel, Ranit Aharonov, Michal Shmueli-Scheuer, Ilya Shnayderman, Noam Slonim, Liat Ein-Dor

Furthermore, we suggest a method that given a sentence, identifies points in the quality control space that are expected to yield optimal generated paraphrases.

Overview of the 2021 Key Point Analysis Shared Task

no code implementations EMNLP (ArgMining) 2021 Roni Friedman, Lena Dankin, Yufang Hou, Ranit Aharonov, Yoav Katz, Noam Slonim

We describe the 2021 Key Point Analysis (KPA-2021) shared task on key point analysis that we organized as a part of the 8th Workshop on Argument Mining (ArgMining 2021) at EMNLP 2021.

Cluster & Tune: Enhance BERT Performance in Low Resource Text Classification

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Eyal Shnarch, Ariel Gera, Alon Halfon, Lena Dankin, Leshem Choshen, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

In such low resources scenarios, we suggest performing an unsupervised classification task prior to fine-tuning on the target task.

Unsupervised Expressive Rules Provide Explainability and Assist Human Experts Grasping New Domains

no code implementations Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 Eyal Shnarch, Leshem Choshen, Guy Moshkowich, Noam Slonim, Ranit Aharonov

Approaching new data can be quite deterrent; you do not know how your categories of interest are realized in it, commonly, there is no labeled data at hand, and the performance of domain adaptation methods is unsatisfactory.

A Large-scale Dataset for Argument Quality Ranking: Construction and Analysis

2 code implementations26 Nov 2019 Shai Gretz, Roni Friedman, Edo Cohen-Karlik, Assaf Toledo, Dan Lahav, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

To this end, we created a corpus of 30, 497 arguments carefully annotated for point-wise quality, released as part of this work.

Automatic Argument Quality Assessment -- New Datasets and Methods

no code implementations3 Sep 2019 Assaf Toledo, Shai Gretz, Edo Cohen-Karlik, Roni Friedman, Elad Venezian, Dan Lahav, Michal Jacovi, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

In spite of the inherent subjective nature of the task, both annotation schemes led to surprisingly consistent results.

Controversy in Context

no code implementations20 Aug 2019 Benjamin Sznajder, Ariel Gera, Yonatan Bilu, Dafna Sheinwald, Ella Rabinovich, Ranit Aharonov, David Konopnicki, Noam Slonim

With the growing interest in social applications of Natural Language Processing and Computational Argumentation, a natural question is how controversial a given concept is.

Towards Effective Rebuttal: Listening Comprehension using Corpus-Wide Claim Mining

no code implementations WS 2019 Tamar Lavee, Matan Orbach, Lili Kotlerman, Yoav Kantor, Shai Gretz, Lena Dankin, Shachar Mirkin, Michal Jacovi, Yonatan Bilu, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

To this end, we collected a large dataset of $400$ speeches in English discussing $200$ controversial topics, mined claims for each topic, and asked annotators to identify the mined claims mentioned in each speech.

Are You Convinced? Choosing the More Convincing Evidence with a Siamese Network

no code implementations ACL 2019 Martin Gleize, Eyal Shnarch, Leshem Choshen, Lena Dankin, Guy Moshkowich, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

With the advancement in argument detection, we suggest to pay more attention to the challenging task of identifying the more convincing arguments.

Learning Concept Abstractness Using Weak Supervision

no code implementations EMNLP 2018 Ella Rabinovich, Benjamin Sznajder, Artem Spector, Ilya Shnayderman, Ranit Aharonov, David Konopnicki, Noam Slonim

We introduce a weakly supervised approach for inferring the property of abstractness of words and expressions in the complete absence of labeled data.

Towards an argumentative content search engine using weak supervision

no code implementations COLING 2018 Ran Levy, Ben Bogin, Shai Gretz, Ranit Aharonov, Noam Slonim

Our results clearly indicate that the system is able to successfully generalize from the weak signal, outperforming previously reported results in terms of both precision and coverage.
