The next meeting of the Edge Hill corpus Research Group will take place online (via Teams) on Thursday 11 January 2024, 2:00-3:00 pm (UK time). Attendance is free. You can register here: https://store.edgehill.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/conferences/events/edge… Registration closes on Wednesday 10 January, 12 noon (UK time) Topics: Corpus Methodology, Phraseology Speaker: Benet Vincent<https://www.coventry.ac.uk/life-on-campus/staff-directory/arts-and-humaniti…> (Coventry University, UK) Title: Methodological issues and challenges in the use of phrase-frames to investigate phraseology Abstract The importance of gaining a better understanding of phraseology has been recognised for some time now in the area of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). A widespread approach is to extract from a corpus frequently-occurring fixed strings (lexical bundles, or clusters) of potentially useful phrases/multi-word units (see e.g. Gilmore and Millar's 2018). A limitation of this sort of study is the focus on fixed continuous sequences when phrases are well-known to allow a degree of variation (see e.g. Gries, 2008). One proposal to address this limitation is the 'phrase frame' (p-frame), a fixed sequence of items occurring frequently in a corpus with one or two empty slots (Lu, Yoon & Kisselev, 2021). This approach allows researchers to retrieve the most frequent p-frames in a particular corpus, then identify which items typically fill these slots and what meanings / functions might be associated with them. The idea is that the results of such research can help us better understand how members of a specific discourse community typically express themselves, which in turn may inform EAP pedagogy (Lu, Yoon, & Kisselev, 2018). Our project aimed to use a p-frame approach to create a list of pedagogically useful phrases to help novice writers of RA introductions in Health Sciences. A number of studies have used a p-frame approach with similar aims though for different discipline areas, including Fuster-Márquez and Pennock-Speck (2015), Cunningham (2017) and Lu et al., (2018, 2021). However, analysis of these studies indicates that they lack consensus on a number of issues central to p-frame methodology, presenting a challenge for new work in this area. This presentation will provide an overview of the key issues in p-frame research which we have identified and show how we have addressed them. The main aim will be to underline the importance of ensuring that the methods applied by a p-frame study align with the aims of the project. References Cunningham, K. J. (2017).

SemEval 2024 Task 2: Safe Biomedical Natural Language Inference for Clinical Trials
by mael.jullien＠gmail.com 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Call for Participation We're excited to announce "SemEval-2023 Task 7: Multi-Evidence Natural Language Inference for Clinical Trial Data" (NLI4CT). This task aims to enhance the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) in clinical settings, addressing challenges like factual inconsistency, shortcut learning, and performance degradation. The SemEval workshop will be co-located with NAACL 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico on June 16–21, 2024. Background: LLMs are crucial in Natural Language Processing but face limitations in real-world scenarios, especially in medical applications. There's a growing need to analyze over 400,000 Clinical Trial Reports (CTRs) efficiently. NLI offers a solution for large-scale interpretation and retrieval of medical evidence. Task Overview: Task: Textual Entailment in the context of breast cancer CTRs. Determine the inference relation (entailment vs contradiction) between CTR-statement pairs. We provide a training set and a specially designed test set to evaluate the effectiveness of models in clinical NLI settings. Example: Consider this scenario from a Clinical Trial Report (CTR): Eligibility Criteria: - Gender: Female - ERBB2 positive BC - Treatment history: No previous chemotherapy Exclusion Criteria: - BMI > 40 - Smoker Given Statement: "Morbidly obese female patients with ERBB2+ Breast Cancer are not eligible for Trial X." In this case, the statement contradicts the eligibility criteria of the CTR. While the patient's gender and medical condition align with the inclusion criteria, the term "morbidly obese" generally indicates a BMI > 40, which falls under the exclusion criteria. Therefore, the relationship between the CTR and the statement is a contradiction. Research Aims: Investigate the consistency and faithfulness of NLI models in clinical settings. Develop and apply novel evaluation methodologies through interventional and causal analyses. Important Dates: Practice Task: Already underway! Main Task: Starts January 10, 2024. Post-Competition Task: Begins February 1, 2024. Get Involved: Register Here: https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/16190 Join Our Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/semeval2024task2/shared_invite/zt-22m7o4u7o-wa_Pnh…

First call for papers - The 3rd Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to NLP
by Sara Tonelli 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

NLPerspectives: The 3rd Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to NLP FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/3rd-workshop-on-perspectivist-approach… Until recently, the dominant paradigm in natural language processing (and other areas of artificial intelligence) has been to resolve observed label disagreement into a single “ground truth” or “gold standard” via aggregation, adjudication, or statistical means. However, in recent years, the field has increasingly focused on subjective tasks, such as abuse detection or quality estimation, in which multiple points of view may be equally valid, and a unique ‘ground truth’ label may not exist (Plank, 2022). At the same time, as concerns have been raised about bias and fairness in AI, it has become increasingly apparent that an approach which assumes a single “ground truth” can erase minority voices. Strong perspectivism in NLP (Cabitza et al., 2023) pursues the spirit of recent initiatives such as Data Statements (Bender and Friedman, 2018), extending their scope to the full NLP pipeline, including the aspects related to modelling, evaluation and explanation. In line with the first <https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/w2022/> and second <https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/2nd-workshop-on-perspectivist-approach…> editions, the third NLPerspectives (Perspectivist Approaches to Disagreement in NLP) workshop will explore current and ongoing work on: the collection and labelling of non-aggregated datasets; and approaches to modelling and including these perspectives in NLP pipelines, as well as evaluation and applications of multi-perspective Machine Learning models. We also welcome opinion pieces and literature reviews, e.g., fairness and inclusion in a perspectivist framework. Following our previous workshops, a key outcome of the third edition will be to continue the work begun at https://pdai.info/ to create a repository of perspectivist datasets with non-aggregated labels for use by researchers in perspectivist NLP modelling. Authors are, therefore, invited to share their LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) and provide essential information about resources (i.e., also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work or are a result of their research. In addition, authors will be required to adhere to ethical research policies on AI and may include an ethics statement in their papers. The NLPerspectives workshop will be co-located with the 14th edition of LREC-COLING 2024 <https://lrec-coling-2024.org/> in Torino, Italy, in May 20-25, 2024. Submissions The papers should be submitted as a PDF document, conforming to the formatting guidelines provided in the call for papers of LREC-COLING conference: authors-kit <https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/> We accept three types of submissions: Regular research papers; Non-archival submissions: like research papers, but will not be included in the proceedings; Research communications: 4-page abstracts summarising relevant research published elsewhere. Research papers (archival or non-archival) may consist of up to 8 pages of content. Research communications may consist of up to 4 pages of content. More details will be up soon. Topics We invite original research papers from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: Non-aggregated data collection and annotation frameworks Descriptions of corpora collected under the perspectivist paradigm Multi-perspective Modelling and Machine Learning Evaluation of multi-perspective models/ models of disagreement Multi-perspective disagreement as applied to NLP evaluation Fairness and inclusive modelling Perspectivist approaches for social good Applications of multi-perspective modelling Computing with (dis)agreement Perspectivist Natural Language Generation Foundational aspects of perspectivism Opinion pieces and reviews on perspectivist approaches to NLP Submissions are open to all, and are to be submitted anonymously (and must conform to the instructions for double-blind review). All papers will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organisers.
