Judging the Judges: A Systematic Investigation of Position Bias in Pairwise Comparative Assessments by LLMs

no code implementations12 Jun 2024 Lin Shi, Chiyu Ma, Wenhua Liang, Weicheng Ma, Soroush Vosoughi

LLM-as-a-Judge presents a promising alternative to human evaluators across various tasks, but inherent biases, especially position bias - a tendency to favor solutions based on their position in the prompt - have compromised its effectiveness.

Joint Latent Topic Discovery and Expectation Modeling for Financial Markets

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Lili Wang, Chenghan Huang, Chongyang Gao, Weicheng Ma, Soroush Vosoughi

In the pursuit of accurate and scalable quantitative methods for financial market analysis, the focus has shifted from individual stock models to those capturing interrelations between companies and their stocks.

Graph-Level Embedding for Time-Evolving Graphs

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Lili Wang, Chenghan Huang, Weicheng Ma, Xinyuan Cao, Soroush Vosoughi

EnCBP: A New Benchmark Dataset for Finer-Grained Cultural Background Prediction in English

no code implementations Findings (ACL) 2022 Weicheng Ma, Samiha Datta, Lili Wang, Soroush Vosoughi

While cultural backgrounds have been shown to affect linguistic expressions, existing natural language processing (NLP) research on culture modeling is overly coarse-grained and does not examine cultural differences among speakers of the same language.

Embedding Node Structural Role Identity Using Stress Majorization

no code implementations14 Sep 2021 Lili Wang, Chenghan Huang, Weicheng Ma, Ying Lu, Soroush Vosoughi

In this paper, we present a novel and flexible framework using stress majorization, to transform the high-dimensional role identities in networks directly (without approximation or indirect modeling) to a low-dimensional embedding space.

GradTS: A Gradient-Based Automatic Auxiliary Task Selection Method Based on Transformer Networks

no code implementations EMNLP 2021 Weicheng Ma, Renze Lou, Kai Zhang, Lili Wang, Soroush Vosoughi

Compared to AUTOSEM, a strong baseline method, GradTS improves the performance of MT-DNN with a bert-base-cased backend model, from 0. 33% to 17. 93% on 8 natural language understanding (NLU) tasks in the GLUE benchmarks.

Contributions of Transformer Attention Heads in Multi- and Cross-lingual Tasks

no code implementations ACL 2021 Weicheng Ma, Kai Zhang, Renze Lou, Lili Wang, Soroush Vosoughi

Through extensive experiments, we show that (1) pruning a number of attention heads in a multi-lingual Transformer-based model has, in general, positive effects on its performance in cross-lingual and multi-lingual tasks and (2) the attention heads to be pruned can be ranked using gradients and identified with a few trial experiments.
