Opening up Minds with Argumentative Dialogues

no code implementations16 Jan 2023 Youmna Farag, Charlotte O. Brand, Jacopo Amidei, Paul Piwek, Tom Stafford, Svetlana Stoyanchev, Andreas Vlachos

We show that while both models perform closely in terms of opening up minds, the argument-based model is significantly better on other dialogue properties such as engagement and clarity.

Analyzing Neural Discourse Coherence Models

1 code implementation EMNLP (CODI) 2020 Youmna Farag, Josef Valvoda, Helen Yannakoudakis, Ted Briscoe

In this work, we systematically investigate how well current models of coherence can capture aspects of text implicated in discourse organisation.

Multi-Task Learning for Coherence Modeling

1 code implementation ACL 2019 Youmna Farag, Helen Yannakoudakis

We address the task of assessing discourse coherence, an aspect of text quality that is essential for many NLP tasks, such as summarization and language assessment.

Neural Automated Essay Scoring and Coherence Modeling for Adversarially Crafted Input

1 code implementation NAACL 2018 Youmna Farag, Helen Yannakoudakis, Ted Briscoe

We demonstrate that current state-of-the-art approaches to Automated Essay Scoring (AES) are not well-suited to capturing adversarially crafted input of grammatical but incoherent sequences of sentences.

Automated Essay Scoring

An Error-Oriented Approach to Word Embedding Pre-Training

no code implementations WS 2017 Youmna Farag, Marek Rei, Ted Briscoe

Additionally, extending the model with corrections provides further performance gains when data sparsity is an issue.
