Disagreement in Narrative Analysis
- Authors: Effi Levi, Shaul R. Shenhav
- Abstract summary: We present a method for a conceptual decomposition of an existing annotation into two separate levels.
We then employ statistical analysis in order to quantify how much of the inter-annotator disagreement can be explained by each of the two levels.
We conclude with a broader discussion on the potential implications of our approach in studying and evaluating inter-annotator disagreement in other settings.

- Abstract: In this work, we explore sources of inter-annotator disagreement in narrative
analysis, in light of the question of whether or not a narrative plot exists in
the text. For this purpose, we present a method for a conceptual decomposition
of an existing annotation into two separate levels: (1) \textbf{whether} or not
a narrative plot exists in the text, and (2) \textbf{which} plot elements exist
in the text. We apply this method to an existing dataset of sentences annotated
with three different narrative plot elements: \textit{Complication},
\textit{Resolution} and \textit{Success}. We then employ statistical analysis
in order to quantify how much of the inter-annotator disagreement can be
explained by each of the two levels. We further perform a qualitative analysis
of disagreement cases in each level, observing several sources of disagreement,
such as text ambiguity, scheme definition and personal differences between the
annotators. The insights gathered on the dataset may serve to reduce
inter-annotator disagreement in future annotation endeavors. We conclude with a
broader discussion on the potential implications of our approach in studying
and evaluating inter-annotator disagreement in other settings.

Explanationable AI (XAI) techniques for text summarization provide valuable understanding of how the summaries are generated.
Recent studies have highlighted a major challenge in this area, known as the disagreement problem.
This problem occurs when different XAI methods offer contradictory explanations for the summary generated from the same input article.
We propose a novel approach that utilizes sentence transformers and the k-means clustering algorithm to first segment the input article and then generate the explanation of the summary generated for each segment.

We argue for the need to recognize the textual entailment relation of each proposition in a sentence individually.
We propose PropSegmEnt, a corpus of over 45K propositions annotated by expert human raters.
Our dataset structure resembles the tasks of (1) segmenting sentences within a document to the set of propositions, and (2) classifying the entailment relation of each proposition with respect to a different yet topically-aligned document.

Post-hoc interpretations aim to uncover how natural language processing (NLP) models make predictions.
To tackle these issues, we start with three criteria: the removal-based criterion, the sensitivity of interpretations, and the stability of interpretations.
Motivated by the desideratum of these faithfulness notions, we introduce a new class of interpretation methods that adopt techniques from the adversarial domain.
