• Abstract summary: We evaluate model robustness to out-of-domain data, modality-specific features, and languages other than English. We find that with additional image content as input, ELMo embeddings yield significantly fewer errors compared to BERT orGLoVe.

• Abstract: Evaluating model robustness is critical when developing trustworthy models not only to gain deeper understanding of model behavior, strengths, and weaknesses, but also to develop future models that are generalizable and robust across expected environments a model may encounter in deployment. In this paper we present a framework for measuring model robustness for an important but difficult text classification task - deceptive news detection. We evaluate model robustness to out-of-domain data, modality-specific features, and languages other than English. Our investigation focuses on three type of models: LSTM models trained on multiple datasets(Cross-Domain), several fusion LSTM models trained with images and text and evaluated with three state-of-the-art embeddings, BERT ELMo, and GloVe (Cross-Modality), and character-level CNN models trained on multiple languages (Cross-Language). Our analyses reveal a significant drop in performance when testing neural models on out-of-domain data and non-English languages that may be mitigated using diverse training data. We find that with additional image content as input, ELMo embeddings yield significantly fewer errors compared to BERT orGLoVe. Most importantly, this work not only carefully analyzes deception model robustness but also provides a framework of these analyses that can be applied to new models or extended datasets in the future.

• Unlocking the Potential of Model Merging for Low-Resource Languages [66.7716891808697]
  Adapting large language models to new languages typically involves continual pre-training (CT) followed by supervised fine-tuning (SFT) We propose model merging as an alternative for low-resource languages, combining models with distinct capabilities into a single model without additional training. Experiments based on Llama-2-7B demonstrate that model merging effectively endows LLMs for low-resource languages with task-solving abilities, outperforming CT-then-SFT in scenarios with extremely scarce data.

  This study addresses whether explicit language models, specifically n-gram models, still contribute to the performance of state-of-the-art deep learning architectures in the field of handwriting recognition. We evaluate two prominent neural network architectures, PyLaia and DAN, with and without the integration of explicit n-gram language models. The results show that incorporating character or subword n-gram models significantly improves the performance of ATR models on all datasets.
