Post-Editing Extractive Summaries by Definiteness Prediction

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

Moreover, based on an automatic evaluation study, we provide evidence for our system’s ability to generate linguistic decisions that lead to improved extractive summaries.

Extractive Summarization

Investigating the Performance of Transformer-Based NLI Models on Presuppositional Inferences

no code implementations COLING 2022 Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

Presuppositions are assumptions that are taken for granted by an utterance, and identifying them is key to a pragmatic interpretation of language.

Bridging Context Gaps: Enhancing Comprehension in Long-Form Social Conversations Through Contextualized Excerpts

1 code implementation28 Dec 2024 Shrestha Mohanty, Sarah Xuan, Jacob Jobraeel, Anurag Kumar, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

To address this, we explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can enrich these excerpts by providing socially relevant context.

On the Relationship between Truth and Political Bias in Language Models

1 code implementation9 Sep 2024 Suyash Fulay, William Brannon, Shrestha Mohanty, Cassandra Overney, Elinor Poole-Dayan, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

In this work, we focus on analyzing the relationship between two concepts essential in both language model alignment and political science: truthfulness and political bias.

LLM Targeted Underperformance Disproportionately Impacts Vulnerable Users

no code implementations25 Jun 2024 Elinor Poole-Dayan, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

While state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance on many tasks, there has been extensive research on undesirable model behavior such as hallucinations and bias.

Confidence Under the Hood: An Investigation into the Confidence-Probability Alignment in Large Language Models

1 code implementation25 May 2024 Abhishek Kumar, Robert Morabito, Sanzhar Umbet, Jad Kabbara, Ali Emami

Using various datasets and prompting techniques that encourage model introspection, we probe the alignment between models' internal and expressed confidence.

Data Authenticity, Consent, & Provenance for AI are all broken: what will it take to fix them?

no code implementations19 Apr 2024 Shayne Longpre, Robert Mahari, Naana Obeng-Marnu, William Brannon, Tobin South, Katy Gero, Sandy Pentland, Jad Kabbara

New capabilities in foundation models are owed in large part to massive, widely-sourced, and under-documented training data collections.

Debiasing should be Good and Bad: Measuring the Consistency of Debiasing Techniques in Language Models

1 code implementation23 May 2023 Robert Morabito, Jad Kabbara, Ali Emami

Debiasing methods that seek to mitigate the tendency of Language Models (LMs) to occasionally output toxic or inappropriate text have recently gained traction.

ConGraT: Self-Supervised Contrastive Pretraining for Joint Graph and Text Embeddings

1 code implementation23 May 2023 William Brannon, Wonjune Kang, Suyash Fulay, Hang Jiang, Brandon Roy, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

Learning on text-attributed graphs (TAGs), in which nodes are associated with one or more texts, has been the subject of much recent work.

PersonaLLM: Investigating the Ability of Large Language Models to Express Personality Traits

1 code implementation4 May 2023 Hang Jiang, Xiajie Zhang, Xubo Cao, Cynthia Breazeal, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

Despite the many use cases for large language models (LLMs) in creating personalized chatbots, there has been limited research on evaluating the extent to which the behaviors of personalized LLMs accurately and consistently reflect specific personality traits.

Computational Investigations of Pragmatic Effects in Natural Language

no code implementations NAACL 2019 Jad Kabbara

Semantics and pragmatics are two complimentary and intertwined aspects of meaning in language.

Let's do it ``again'': A First Computational Approach to Detecting Adverbial Presupposition Triggers

no code implementations ACL 2018 Andre Cianflone, Yulan Feng, Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

We introduce the novel task of predicting adverbial presupposition triggers, which is useful for natural language generation tasks such as summarization and dialogue systems.
