📑new paper on the generalisability of abusive language detection models and the role of slurs and profanity in training!
💭non-abusive swearing and implicit abuse are often confusing for models. _how_ do such biases come into play?

Nice blog post @BBCRD by @QMCompLing 's very own Iacopo Ghinassi - read about his work in topic segmenation #NLProc
EECS PhD student, Iacopo Ghinassi, has been working with @BBCRD to explore ways to segment and annotate media content without direct human effort.
The project is part of the DAME doctoral training programme sponsored by the BBC.

We (with @AmaniAbumansour and @arkaitz) have a survey paper on automated fact-checking published on Language and Linguistics Compass! Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…🤩
(1/5) New ACL paper out now: Towards Robustness of Text-to-SQL Models against Synonym Substitution, Gan, Chen, Chang, Purver, Woodward, Xie, Huang: improving Text-to-SQL robustness via a new dataset, input data augmentation and adversarial training arxiv.org/abs/2106.01065 #NLProc
(4/5) Now we can test how much substituting in synonymous material affects state-of-the-art models. Accuracy drops dramatically!

Excited to shared our binary step-by-step approach that achieves substantial improvements over the baseline!🍻 No extra data or huge models required!😆
🔵 We (w/ @XiaZeng2) participated in the SCIVER scientific claim verification task at NAACL / SDP.
Here's the paper describing our approach! 👇
