• Title: Position Bias Mitigation: A Knowledge-Aware Graph Model for Emotion Cause Extraction
• Authors: Hanqi Yan, Lin Gui, Gabriele Pergola, Yulan He
• Abstract summary: We observe that a widely-used ECE dataset exhibits a bias that the majority of annotated cause clauses are either directly before their associated emotion clauses or are the emotion clauses themselves. Existing models for ECE tend to explore such relative position information and suffer from the dataset bias. We propose a novel strategy to generate adversarial examples in which the relative position information is no longer the indicative feature of cause clauses.

• Abstract: The Emotion Cause Extraction (ECE)} task aims to identify clauses which contain emotion-evoking information for a particular emotion expressed in text. We observe that a widely-used ECE dataset exhibits a bias that the majority of annotated cause clauses are either directly before their associated emotion clauses or are the emotion clauses themselves. Existing models for ECE tend to explore such relative position information and suffer from the dataset bias. To investigate the degree of reliance of existing ECE models on clause relative positions, we propose a novel strategy to generate adversarial examples in which the relative position information is no longer the indicative feature of cause clauses. We test the performance of existing models on such adversarial examples and observe a significant performance drop. To address the dataset bias, we propose a novel graph-based method to explicitly model the emotion triggering paths by leveraging the commonsense knowledge to enhance the semantic dependencies between a candidate clause and an emotion clause. Experimental results show that our proposed approach performs on par with the existing state-of-the-art methods on the original ECE dataset, and is more robust against adversarial attacks compared to existing models.

We propose CoherentED, an ED system equipped with novel designs aimed at enhancing the coherence of entity predictions. We achieve new state-of-the-art results on popular ED benchmarks, with an average improvement of 1.3 F1 points.

  Context-Aware Emotion Recognition (CAER) aims to perceive the emotional states of the target person with contextual information. A long-overlooked issue is that a context bias in existing datasets leads to a significantly unbalanced distribution of emotional states. This paper provides a causality-based perspective to disentangle the models from the impact of such bias, and formulate the causalities among variables in the CAER task.

  We propose WiCE, a new fine-grained textual entailment dataset built on natural claim and evidence pairs extracted from Wikipedia. In addition to standard claim-level entailment, WiCE provides entailment judgments over sub-sentence units of the claim. We show that real claims in our dataset involve challenging verification and retrieval problems that existing models fail to address.

  Local models have recently attained astounding performances in Entity Disambiguation (ED) Previous works limited their studies to using, as the textual representation of each candidate, only its Wikipedia title. In this paper, we address this limitation and investigate to what extent more expressive textual representations can mitigate it. We report a new state of the art on 2 out of 6 benchmarks we consider and strongly improve the generalization capability over unseen patterns.

  We show that a simple random selection approach toward Emotion Cause Extraction achieves similar performance compared to the baselines. An imbalance of emotional cause location exists in the benchmark, with a majority of cause clauses immediately preceding the central emotion clause. We conclude that it is the innate bias in this benchmark that caused high accuracy rate of these deep learning models in ECE.
