AfriMTE and AfriCOMET: Empowering COMET to Embrace Under-resourced African Languages
Furthermore, we develop AfriCOMET, a COMET evaluation metric for African languages by leveraging DA training data from high-resource languages and African-centric multilingual encoder (AfroXLM-Roberta) to create the state-of-the-art evaluation metric for African languages MT with respect to Spearman-rank correlation with human judgments (+0. 406).
Adapting Pretrained ASR Models to Low-resource Clinical Speech using Epistemic Uncertainty-based Data Selection
While there has been significant progress in ASR, African-accented clinical ASR has been understudied due to a lack of training datasets.
NLP-LTU at SemEval-2023 Task 10: The Impact of Data Augmentation and Semi-Supervised Learning Techniques on Text Classification Performance on an Imbalanced Dataset
In this paper, we propose a methodology for task 10 of SemEval23, focusing on detecting and classifying online sexism in social media posts.
Masakhane-Afrisenti at SemEval-2023 Task 12: Sentiment Analysis using Afro-centric Language Models and Adapters for Low-resource African Languages
For task B, we fine-tuned multilingual pre-trained language models that support many of the languages in the task.
Bipol: A Novel Multi-Axes Bias Evaluation Metric with Explainability for NLP
We introduce bipol, a new metric with explainability, for estimating social bias in text data.
Adapting to the Low-Resource Double-Bind: Investigating Low-Compute Methods on Low-Resource African Languages
In this work, we explore the applicability of low-compute approaches such as language adapters in the context of this low-resource double-bind.
Bipol: Multi-axes Evaluation of Bias with Explainability in Benchmark Datasets
Hence, we also contribute a new, large Swedish bias-labelled dataset (of 2 million samples), translated from the English version and train the SotA mT5 model on it.
MasakhaNER 2.0: Africa-centric Transfer Learning for Named Entity Recognition
African languages are spoken by over a billion people, but are underrepresented in NLP research and development.
Separating Grains from the Chaff: Using Data Filtering to Improve Multilingual Translation for Low-Resourced African Languages
We participated in the WMT 2022 Large-Scale Machine Translation Evaluation for the African Languages Shared Task.
T5 for Hate Speech, Augmented Data and Ensemble
Our motivation is to determine which of the recent SoTA models is best for automatic hate speech detection and what advantage methods like data augmentation and ensemble may have on the best model, if any.
GEMv2: Multilingual NLG Benchmarking in a Single Line of Code
This problem is especially pertinent in natural language generation which requires ever-improving suites of datasets, metrics, and human evaluation to make definitive claims.
Vector Representations of Idioms in Conversational Systems
We experiment with three instances of the SoTA dialogue model, Dialogue Generative Pre-trained Transformer (DialoGPT), for conversation generation.
State-of-the-art in Open-domain Conversational AI: A Survey
Results of the survey show that progress has been made with recent SoTA conversational AI, but there are still persistent challenges that need to be solved, and the female gender is more common than the male for conversational AI.
AfriWOZ: Corpus for Exploiting Cross-Lingual Transferability for Generation of Dialogues in Low-Resource, African Languages
The language with the most transferable properties is the Nigerian Pidgin English, with a human-likeness score of 78. 1%, of which 34. 4% are unanimous.
ML_LTU at SemEval-2022 Task 4: T5 Towards Identifying Patronizing and Condescending Language
This paper describes the system used by the Machine Learning Group of LTU in subtask 1 of the SemEval-2022 Task 4: Patronizing and Condescending Language (PCL) Detection.
HaT5: Hate Language Identification using Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer
We investigate the performance of a state-of-the art (SoTA) architecture T5 (available on the SuperGLUE) and compare with it 3 other previous SoTA architectures across 5 different tasks from 2 relatively diverse datasets.
Småprat: DialoGPT for Natural Language Generation of Swedish Dialogue by Transfer Learning
Perplexity score (an automated intrinsic language model metric) and surveys by human evaluation were used to assess the performances of the fine-tuned models, with results that indicate that the capacity for transfer learning can be exploited with considerable success.
MasakhaNER: Named Entity Recognition for African Languages
We take a step towards addressing the under-representation of the African continent in NLP research by creating the first large publicly available high-quality dataset for named entity recognition (NER) in ten African languages, bringing together a variety of stakeholders.
The GEM Benchmark: Natural Language Generation, its Evaluation and Metrics
We introduce GEM, a living benchmark for natural language Generation (NLG), its Evaluation, and Metrics.
