[Corpora-List][CfP] First Shared Task on Multi-Perspective Scientific Document Summarization (MuP) at 3rd SDP @ COLING 2022
by Tirthankar Ghosal 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

***Call for Participation*** ***First Shared Task on Multi-Perspective Scientific Document Summarization (MuP)*** Website: https://github.com/allenai/mup Generating summaries of scientific documents is known to be a challenging task. The majority of existing work in summarization assumes only one single best gold summary for each given document. Having only one gold summary negatively impacts our ability to evaluate the quality of summarization systems, as writing summaries is a subjective activity. At the same time, annotating multiple gold summaries for scientific documents can be extremely expensive as it requires domain experts to read and understand long scientific documents. This shared task will enable exploring methods for generating multi-perspective summaries. We introduce a novel summarization corpus, leveraging data from scientific peer reviews to capture diverse perspectives from the reader's point of view (each paper has multiple summaries reflecting multiple perspectives of the reader). The MuP shared task is a part of the 3rd Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) workshop at COLING 2022. https://sdproc.org/2022/ More details on the shared task and the corresponding dataset can be found on: https://github.com/allenai/mup ****Please fill in this form to participate in the shared task*** * https://forms.gle/K2UECKvmghzDHUpo7 The leaderboard for the shared task will be announced soon on the website.

[Corpora-List]Complex Word Identification in French
by Christopher Collins 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Hello, I'm looking for any open source or cloud-hosted solution for complex word identification or word difficulty rating in French for a reading application. As a backup plan we can use measures like corpus frequency, length, number of senses, but we're hoping someone has already made a tool available. We found this but that's it: https://github.com/sheffieldnlp/cwi Would appreciate any tips! Thanks, Chris Christopher Collins [he/him<https://medium.com/gender-inclusivit/why-i-put-pronouns-on-my-email-signatu…>] Associate Professor - Faculty of Science Canada Research Chair in Linguistic Information Visualization Ontario Tech University vialab.ca<http://vialab.ca/>

[Corpora-List]NeuroX: Neuron Interpretation Toolkit
by Hassan Sajjad 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, We have developed a toolkit to interpret deep NLP models with a focus on *neuron interpretation*. The toolkit is available as: pip install neurox Project Website: https://neurox.qcri.org/ Documentation: https://neurox.qcri.org/docs/ Git: https://github.com/fdalvi/NeuroX NeuroX implements a number of features that facilitate model interpretation such as: - Word-level activation extractions (contextualized embeddings) - Integration with Huggingface - Implementation of a number of neuron probing methods (identify neurons learning a linguistic property such as noun) - Visualize the behavior of a neuron across a set of examples - and many more If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to me or open an issue on the project's github. Thank you, -- Regards; Hassan Sajjad

[Corpora-List]SOA models for Sentiment Analysis benchmarked on Multiple Domains ( Model and Paper )
by Giuseppe Riccardi 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Dear all, we are glad to present to you a new BERT-based model for Sentiment Analysis ( for Italian ), trained and benchmarked on multiple domains! The model has been jointly optimized and fine-tuned on multiple domains such as product reviews, social media comments and financial news. The model has achieved better performance than fine-tuning it in isolation on every single dataset, reaching state-of-the-art results in the majority of the datasets that we used. To get and use the model please, follow the instructions available here: https://sisl.disi.unitn.it/itfn-corpus/ <https://sisl.disi.unitn.it/itfn-corpus/> or you can go directly to the official GitLab repo: https://gitlab.com/sislab/multi-source-multi-domain-sentiment-analysis-with… <https://gitlab.com/sislab/multi-source-multi-domain-sentiment-analysis-with…> The related paper will be presented at LREC 2022 conference. The paper is titled as "Multi-source Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis with BERT-based Models" and it is available here <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2022/pdf/2022.lrec-1.62.pdf>. Best Regards ---- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Giuseppe Riccardi Founder and Director of the Signals and Interactive Systems Lab Department of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering Department University of Trento
