  • Don’t Stop Pretraining: Adapt Language Models to Domains and Tasks

    Suchin Gururangan, Ana Marasović, Swabha Swayamdipta, Kyle Lo, Iz Beltagy, Doug Downey, Noah A. Smith

    Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) · 2020

    It is consistently found that multi-phase adaptive pretraining offers large gains in task performance, and it is shown that adapting to a task corpus augmented using simple data selection strategies is an effective alternative, especially when resources for domain-adaptive pretraining might be unavailable.

  • From Tweets to Polls: Linking Text Sentiment to Public Opinion Time Series

    Brendan O'Connor, Ramnath Balasubramanyan, Bryan Routledge, Noah A. Smith

    Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media · 2010

    This work connects measures of public opinion measured from polls with sentiment measured from text, and finds that temporal smoothing is a critically important issue to support a suc- cessful model.

  • RealToxicityPrompts: Evaluating Neural Toxic Degeneration in Language Models

    Samuel Gehman, Suchin Gururangan, Maarten Sap, Yejin Choi, Noah A. Smith

    Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2020 · 2020

    It is found that pretrained LMs can degenerate into toxic text even from seemingly innocuous prompts, and empirically assess several controllable generation methods find that while data- or compute-intensive methods are more effective at steering away from toxicity than simpler solutions, no current method is failsafe against neural toxic degeneration.

  • Annotation Artifacts in Natural Language Inference Data

    Suchin Gururangan, Swabha Swayamdipta, Omer Levy, Roy Schwartz, Samuel R. Bowman, Noah A. Smith

    Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL-HLT) · 2018

    It is shown that a simple text categorization model can correctly classify the hypothesis alone in about 67% of SNLI and 53% of MultiNLI, and that specific linguistic phenomena such as negation and vagueness are highly correlated with certain inference classes.

  • Part-of-Speech Tagging for Twitter: Annotation, Features, and Experiments

    Kevin Gimpel, Nathan Schneider, Brendan O’Connor, Dipanjan Das, Daniel Simon Mills, Jacob Eisenstein, Michael Heilman, Dani Yogatama, +2 more

    Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics · 2010

    A tagset is developed, data is annotated, features are developed, and results nearing 90% accuracy are reported on the problem of part-of-speech tagging for English data from the popular micro-blogging service Twitter.

  • The Risk of Racial Bias in Hate Speech Detection

    Maarten Sap, Dallas Card, Saadia Gabriel, Yejin Choi, Noah A. Smith

    Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) · 2019

    This work proposes *dialect* and *race priming* as ways to reduce the racial bias in annotation, showing that when annotators are made explicitly aware of an AAE tweet’s dialect they are significantly less likely to label the tweet as offensive.

  • Is Attention Interpretable?

    Sofia Serrano, Noah A. Smith

    Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) · 2019

    While attention noisily predicts input components’ overall importance to a model, it is by no means a fail-safe indicator, and there are many ways in which this does not hold, where gradient-based rankings of attention weights better predict their effects than their magnitudes.

    Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL-HLT) · 2019

    It is found that linear models trained on top of frozen contextual representations are competitive with state-of-the-art task-specific models in many cases, but fail on tasks requiring fine-grained linguistic knowledge.

    Proceedings of the 2019 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and the 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (EMNLP-IJCNLP) · 2019

    After integrating WordNet and a subset of Wikipedia into BERT, the knowledge enhanced BERT (KnowBert) demonstrates improved perplexity, ability to recall facts as measured in a probing task and downstream performance on relationship extraction, entity typing, and word sense disambiguation.

    Philip Resnik, Noah A. Smith

    Computational Linguistics · 2003

    The use of supervised learning based on structural features of documents to improve classification performance, a new content-based measure of translational equivalence, and adaptation of the system to take advantage of the Internet Archive for mining parallel text from the Web on a large scale are presented.

  • Social Bias Frames: Reasoning about Social and Power Implications of Language

    Maarten Sap, Saadia Gabriel, Lianhui Qin, Dan Jurafsky, Noah A. Smith, Yejin Choi

    Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) · 2020

    It is found that while state-of-the-art neural models are effective at high-level categorization of whether a given statement projects unwanted social bias, they are not effective at spelling out more detailed explanations in terms of Social Bias Frames.
