The State of Human-centered NLP Technology for Fact-checking

no code implementations8 Jan 2023 Anubrata Das, Houjiang Liu, Venelin Kovatchev, Matthew Lease

We recommend that future research include collaboration with fact-checker stakeholders early on in NLP research, as well as incorporation of human-centered design practices in model development, in order to further guide technology development for human use and practical adoption.

InferES : A Natural Language Inference Corpus for Spanish Featuring Negation-Based Contrastive and Adversarial Examples

1 code implementation COLING 2022 Venelin Kovatchev, Mariona Taulé

Specifically, we focus on measuring and improving the performance of machine learning systems on negation-based adversarial examples and their ability to generalize across out-of-distribution topics.

Paraphrasing, textual entailment, and semantic similarity above word level

no code implementations10 Aug 2022 Venelin Kovatchev

This dissertation explores the linguistic and computational aspects of the meaning relations that can hold between two or more complex linguistic expressions (phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs).

Fairly Accurate: Learning Optimal Accuracy vs. Fairness Tradeoffs for Hate Speech Detection

no code implementations15 Apr 2022 Venelin Kovatchev, Soumyajit Gupta, Anubrata Das, Matthew Lease

In this work, we first introduce a differentiable measure that enables direct optimization of group fairness (specifically, balancing accuracy across groups) in model training.

Data augmentation is an important component in the robustness evaluation of models in natural language processing (NLP) and in enhancing the diversity of the data they are trained on.

Can vectors read minds better than experts? Comparing data augmentation strategies for the automated scoring of children's mindreading ability

no code implementations ACL 2021 Venelin Kovatchev, Phillip Smith, Mark Lee, Rory Devine

To determine the capabilities of automatic systems to generalize to unseen data, we create UK-MIND-20 - a new corpus of children's performance on tests of mindreading, consisting of 10, 320 question-answer pairs.

Decomposing and Comparing Meaning Relations: Paraphrasing, Textual Entailment, Contradiction, and Specificity

no code implementations LREC 2020 Venelin Kovatchev, Darina Gold, M. Antonia Marti, Maria Salamo, Torsten Zesch

We use the typology to annotate a corpus of 520 sentence pairs in English and we demonstrate that unlike previous typologies, SHARel can be applied to all relations of interest with a high inter-annotator agreement.
