Large Language Models Offer an Alternative to the Traditional Approach of Topic Modelling

no code implementations24 Mar 2024 Yida Mu, Chun Dong, Kalina Bontcheva, Xingyi Song

Topic modelling, as a well-established unsupervised technique, has found extensive use in automatically detecting significant topics within a corpus of documents.

Don't Waste a Single Annotation: Improving Single-Label Classifiers Through Soft Labels

no code implementations9 Nov 2023 Ben Wu, Yue Li, Yida Mu, Carolina Scarton, Kalina Bontcheva, Xingyi Song

In this paper, we address the limitations of the common data annotation and training methods for objective single-label classification tasks.

Examining the Limitations of Computational Rumor Detection Models Trained on Static Datasets

no code implementations20 Sep 2023 Yida Mu, Xingyi Song, Kalina Bontcheva, Nikolaos Aletras

A crucial aspect of a rumor detection model is its ability to generalize, particularly its ability to detect emerging, previously unknown rumors.

SheffieldVeraAI at SemEval-2023 Task 3: Mono and multilingual approaches for news genre, topic and persuasion technique classification

no code implementations16 Mar 2023 Ben Wu, Olesya Razuvayevskaya, Freddy Heppell, João A. Leite, Carolina Scarton, Kalina Bontcheva, Xingyi Song

For Subtask 2 (Framing), we achieved first place in 3 languages, and the best average rank across all the languages, by using two separate ensembles: a monolingual RoBERTa-MUPPETLARGE and an ensemble of XLM-RoBERTaLARGE with adapters and task adaptive pretraining.

VaxxHesitancy: A Dataset for Studying Hesitancy towards COVID-19 Vaccination on Twitter

Classifying COVID-19 vaccine narratives

no code implementations18 Jul 2022 Yue Li, Carolina Scarton, Xingyi Song, Kalina Bontcheva

This paper addresses the need for monitoring and analysing vaccine narratives online by introducing a novel vaccine narrative classification task, which categorises COVID-19 vaccine claims into one of seven categories.

An Exploratory Study on Utilising the Web of Linked Data for Product Data Mining

no code implementations3 Sep 2021 Ziqi Zhang, Xingyi Song

We process billions of structured data points in the form of RDF n-quads, to create multi-million words of product-related corpora that are later used in three different ways for creating of language resources: training word embedding models, continued pre-training of BERT-like language models, and training Machine Translation models that are used as a proxy to generate product-related keywords.
