• Title: Natural Language Inference with Mixed Effects
• Authors: William Gantt, Benjamin Kane, Aaron Steven White
• Abstract summary: We propose a generic method that allows one to skip the aggregation step and train on the raw annotations directly without subjecting the model to unwanted noise. We demonstrate that this method, which generalizes the notion of a textitmixed effects model by incorporating textitannotator random effects into any existing neural model, improves performance over models that do not incorporate such effects.

• Abstract: There is growing evidence that the prevalence of disagreement in the raw annotations used to construct natural language inference datasets makes the common practice of aggregating those annotations to a single label problematic. We propose a generic method that allows one to skip the aggregation step and train on the raw annotations directly without subjecting the model to unwanted noise that can arise from annotator response biases. We demonstrate that this method, which generalizes the notion of a \textit{mixed effects model} by incorporating \textit{annotator random effects} into any existing neural model, improves performance over models that do not incorporate such effects.

• Gumbel Counterfactual Generation From Language Models [64.55296662926919]
  We show that counterfactual reasoning is conceptually distinct from interventions. We propose a framework for generating true string counterfactuals. We show that the approach produces meaningful counterfactuals while at the same time showing that commonly used intervention techniques have considerable undesired side effects.

  Large Language Models are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations and data poisoning attacks. In this work, we unveil a novel approach by exploiting the inherent lead bias in summarization models. We also introduce an innovative application of influence functions, to execute data poisoning, which compromises the model's integrity.

  We introduce a two-stage adversarial example generation framework (NaturalAdversaries) for natural language understanding tasks. It is adaptable to both black-box and white-box adversarial attacks based on the level of access to the model parameters. Our results indicate these adversaries generalize across domains, and offer insights for future research on improving robustness of neural text classification models.

  We show that modeling annotation biases, rather than ignoring them, poses a promising way of accounting for differences in annotation style across datasets. Next, we present an image-conditioning approach to model annotation styles that correlate with specific image features, potentially enabling detection biases to be more easily identified.

  We study the extent to which BERT is able to perform lexically-independent subject-verb number agreement (NA) on targeted syntactic templates. Our results on nonce sentences suggest that the model generalizes well for simple templates, but fails to perform lexically-independent syntactic generalization when as little as one attractor is present.

  We show that prompt-based models for sentence pair classification tasks still suffer from a common pitfall of adopting inferences based on lexical overlap. We then show that adding a regularization that preserves pretraining weights is effective in mitigating this destructive tendency of few-shot finetuning.

• Learning to Manipulate Individual Objects in an Image [71.55005356240761]
  We describe a method to train a generative model with latent factors that are independent and localized. This means that perturbing the latent variables affects only local regions of the synthesized image, corresponding to objects. Unlike other unsupervised generative models, ours enables object-centric manipulation, without requiring object-level annotations.
