• Abstract: The evidence is growing that machine and deep learning methods can learn the subtle differences between the language produced by people with various forms of cognitive impairment such as dementia and cognitively healthy individuals. Valuable public data repositories such as TalkBank have made it possible for researchers in the computational community to join forces and learn from each other to make significant advances in this area. However, due to variability in approaches and data selection strategies used by various researchers, results obtained by different groups have been difficult to compare directly. In this paper, we present TRESTLE (\textbf{T}oolkit for \textbf{R}eproducible \textbf{E}xecution of \textbf{S}peech \textbf{T}ext and \textbf{L}anguage \textbf{E}xperiments), an open source platform that focuses on two datasets from the TalkBank repository with dementia detection as an illustrative domain. Successfully deployed in the hackallenge (Hackathon/Challenge) of the International Workshop on Health Intelligence at AAAI 2022, TRESTLE provides a precise digital blueprint of the data pre-processing and selection strategies that can be reused via TRESTLE by other researchers seeking comparable results with their peers and current state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches.

  Given a descriptive text query, text-based person search aims to retrieve the best-matched target person from an image gallery. Such a cross-modal retrieval task is quite challenging due to significant modality gap, fine-grained differences and insufficiency of annotated data. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective dual Transformer model for text-based person search.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating text that closely resembles human writing. It is essential to build automated approaches capable of distinguishing between artificially generated text and human-authored text. We propose a simple yet efficient solution by ensembling predictions from multiple constituent LLMs.

  We present a technique of NLP to tackle the problem of inference relation (NLI) between pairs of sentences in a target language of choice without a language-specific training dataset. We exploit a generic translation dataset, manually translated, along with two instances of the same pre-trained model. The model has been evaluated over machine translated Stanford NLI test dataset, machine translated Multi-Genre NLI test dataset, and manually translated RTE3-ITA test dataset.

Specifically, we design two contrastive strategies, token level contrastive learning of token embeddings (TL-CTE) and sentiment level contrastive learning of token embeddings (SL-CTE) Since our framework can receive datasets in multiple languages during training, our framework can be adapted not only for XABSA task, but also for multilingual aspect-based sentiment analysis (MABSA)

  We introduce graph convolutional networks (GCNs) with universal dependency parses to learn language-agnostic sentence representations.

We propose to utilize the self-attention mechanism to learn the dependencies between words with different syntactic distances.

• Intrinsic Probing through Dimension Selection [69.52439198455438]
  Most modern NLP systems make use of pre-trained contextual representations that attain astonishingly high performance on a variety of tasks. Such high performance should not be possible unless some form of linguistic structure inheres in these representations, and a wealth of research has sprung up on probing for it. In this paper, we draw a distinction between intrinsic probing, which examines how linguistic information is structured within a representation, and the extrinsic probing popular in prior work, which only argues for the presence of such information by showing that it can be successfully extracted.
