• Abstract: Twitter has acted as an important source of information during disasters and pandemic, especially during the times of COVID-19. In this paper, we describe our system entry for WNUT 2020 Shared Task-3. The task was aimed at automating the extraction of a variety of COVID-19 related events from Twitter, such as individuals who recently contracted the virus, someone with symptoms who were denied testing and believed remedies against the infection. The system consists of separate multi-task models for slot-filling subtasks and sentence-classification subtasks while leveraging the useful sentence-level information for the corresponding event. The system uses COVID-Twitter-Bert with attention-weighted pooling of candidate slot-chunk features to capture the useful information chunks. The system ranks 1st at the leader-board with F1 of 0.6598, without using any ensembles or additional datasets. The code and trained models are available at this https URL.

• Grounding Partially-Defined Events in Multimodal Data [61.0063273919745]
  We introduce a multimodal formulation for partially-defined events and cast the extraction of these events as a three-stage span retrieval task. We propose a benchmark for this task, MultiVENT-G, that consists of 14.5 hours of densely annotated current event videos and 1,168 text documents, containing 22.8K labeled event-centric entities. Results illustrate the challenges that abstract event understanding poses and demonstrates promise in event-centric video-language systems.

  This paper describes our participation in Task 3 and Task 5 of the #SMM4H (Social Media Mining for Health) 2024 Workshop. Task 3 is a multi-class classification task centered on tweets discussing the impact of outdoor environments on symptoms of social anxiety. Task 5 involves a binary classification task focusing on tweets reporting medical disorders in children. We applied transfer learning from pre-trained encoder-decoder models such as BART-base and T5-small to identify the labels of a set of given tweets.

  In this work, we investigate how an adversary can exploit instruction tuning to change a model's behavior. We propose textitAutoPoison, an automated data poisoning pipeline. Our results show that AutoPoison allows an adversary to change a model's behavior by poisoning only a small fraction of data.

  Existing studies show that multi-task learning with large-scale supervised tasks suffers from negative effects across tasks. We propose a task prefix guided multi-task pre-training framework to explore the relationships among tasks. Our model can not only serve as the strong foundation backbone for a wide range of tasks but also be feasible as a probing tool for analyzing task relationships.

  We propose the Joint Event Multi-task Learning (JOELIN) model for extracting COVID-19 events from Twitter. Through a unified global learning framework, we make use of all the training data across different events to learn and fine-tune the language model. We implement a type-aware post-processing procedure using named entity recognition (NER) to further filter the predictions.

  In this work, we mined a large twitter dataset of 424 million tweets of COVID-19 chatter to identify discourse around drug mentions. While seemingly a straightforward task, due to the informal nature of language use in Twitter, we demonstrate the need of machine learning alongside traditional automated methods to aid in this task. We are able to recover almost 15% additional data, making misspelling handling a needed task as a pre-processing step when dealing with social media data.
