• Authors: Yewon Kim, Mina Lee, Donghwi Kim, Sung-Ju Lee
• Abstract summary: We highlight the challenges faced by non-native speakers when using AI writing assistants to paraphrase text. We observe that they face difficulties in assessing paraphrased texts generated by AI writing assistants, largely due to the lack of explanations accompanying the suggested paraphrases. We propose four potential user interfaces to enhance the writing experience of NNESs using AI writing assistants.

• Abstract: We highlight the challenges faced by non-native speakers when using AI writing assistants to paraphrase text. Through an interview study with 15 non-native English speakers (NNESs) with varying levels of English proficiency, we observe that they face difficulties in assessing paraphrased texts generated by AI writing assistants, largely due to the lack of explanations accompanying the suggested paraphrases. Furthermore, we examine their strategies to assess AI-generated texts in the absence of such explanations. Drawing on the needs of NNESs identified in our interview, we propose four potential user interfaces to enhance the writing experience of NNESs using AI writing assistants. The proposed designs focus on incorporating explanations to better support NNESs in understanding and evaluating the AI-generated paraphrasing suggestions.

  We study whether and how the disclosure of the level and type of AI assistance in the writing process would affect people's perceptions of the writing. Our results suggest that disclosing the AI assistance in the writing process, especially if AI has provided assistance in generating new content, decreases the average quality ratings.

  VISAR is an AI-enabled writing assistant system designed to help writers brainstorm and revise hierarchical goals within their writing context. It organizes argument structures through synchronized text editing and visual programming, and enhances persuasiveness with argumentation spark recommendations. A controlled lab study confirmed the usability and effectiveness of VISAR in facilitating the argumentative writing planning process.

  We conducted a Wizard-of-Oz design probe study with 20 participants who interacted with simulated AI assistants via text or voice. We found that participants asked for five categories of information: user actions, user mental model, help from the AI assistant, product and task information, and user demographics. The text assistant was perceived as significantly more efficient, but both were rated equally in satisfaction and trust.

  We propose a novel approach to generate high-quality paraphrases with weak supervision data. Specifically, we tackle the weakly-supervised paraphrase generation problem by:. obtaining abundant weakly-labeled parallel sentences via retrieval-based pseudo paraphrase expansion. We demonstrate that our approach achieves significant improvements over existing unsupervised approaches, and is even comparable in performance with supervised state-of-the-arts.

  Cross-lingual methods have had notable success in addressing these concerns. We propose a complementary approach to building low-resource Named Entity Recognition (NER) models using non-speaker'' (NS) annotations. We show that use of NS annotators produces results that are consistently on par or better than cross-lingual methods built on modern contextual representations.
