• Title: Weakly-Supervised Hierarchical Models for Predicting Persuasive Strategies in Good-faith Textual Requests
• Authors: Jiaao Chen, Diyi Yang
• Abstract summary: We introduce a large-scale multi-domain text corpus for modeling persuasive strategies in good-faith text requests. We design a hierarchical weakly-supervised latent variable model that can leverage partially labeled data to predict such associated persuasive strategies for each sentence. Experimental results showed that our proposed method outperformed existing semi-supervised baselines significantly.

• Abstract: Modeling persuasive language has the potential to better facilitate our decision-making processes. Despite its importance, computational modeling of persuasion is still in its infancy, largely due to the lack of benchmark datasets that can provide quantitative labels of persuasive strategies to expedite this line of research. To this end, we introduce a large-scale multi-domain text corpus for modeling persuasive strategies in good-faith text requests. Moreover, we design a hierarchical weakly-supervised latent variable model that can leverage partially labeled data to predict such associated persuasive strategies for each sentence, where the supervision comes from both the overall document-level labels and very limited sentence-level labels. Experimental results showed that our proposed method outperformed existing semi-supervised baselines significantly. We have publicly released our code at https://github.com/GT-SALT/Persuasion_Strategy_WVAE.

  This paper introduces the Criticality Prediction dataset, a new resource for evaluating the potential influence of Swiss Supreme Court decisions on future jurisprudence. Unlike existing approaches that rely on resource-intensive manual annotations, we semi-automatically derive labels leading to a much larger dataset. We evaluate several multilingual models, including fine-tuned variants and large language models, and find that fine-tuned models consistently outperform zero-shot baselines.

Our findings reveal that existing text embedding models have not sufficiently addressed these syntactic understanding challenges. We propose strategies to augment the generalization ability of text embedding models in diverse syntactic scenarios.

  Language models trained on large-scale corpora can generate remarkably fluent results in open-domain dialogue. For the persona-based dialogue generation task, consistency and coherence are great challenges for language models. A two-stage SimOAP strategy is proposed, i.e., over-sampling and post-evaluation.
