• Title: CL-UZH at SemEval-2023 Task 10: Sexism Detection through Incremental Fine-Tuning and Multi-Task Learning with Label Descriptions
• Authors: Janis Goldzycher
• Abstract summary: SemEval shared task textitTowards Explainable Detection of Online Sexism (EDOS 2023) is to detect sexism in English social media posts. We present our submitted systems for all three subtasks, based on a multi-task model that has been fine-tuned on a range of related tasks. We implement multi-task learning by formulating each task as binary pairwise text classification, where the dataset and label descriptions are given along with the input text.

• Abstract: The widespread popularity of social media has led to an increase in hateful, abusive, and sexist language, motivating methods for the automatic detection of such phenomena. The goal of the SemEval shared task \textit{Towards Explainable Detection of Online Sexism} (EDOS 2023) is to detect sexism in English social media posts (subtask A), and to categorize such posts into four coarse-grained sexism categories (subtask B), and eleven fine-grained subcategories (subtask C). In this paper, we present our submitted systems for all three subtasks, based on a multi-task model that has been fine-tuned on a range of related tasks and datasets before being fine-tuned on the specific EDOS subtasks. We implement multi-task learning by formulating each task as binary pairwise text classification, where the dataset and label descriptions are given along with the input text. The results show clear improvements over a fine-tuned DeBERTa-V3 serving as a baseline leading to $F_1$-scores of 85.9\% in subtask A (rank 13/84), 64.8\% in subtask B (rank 19/69), and 44.9\% in subtask C (26/63).

  Multi-document summarization (MDS) is a challenging task, often decomposed to subtasks of salience and redundancy detection. alignment of corresponding sentences between a reference summary and its source documents has been leveraged to generate training data. This paper proposes extending the summary-source alignment framework by applying it at the more fine-grained proposition span level.

  Subtask A is a binary classification task determining whether a text is written by a human or generated by a machine. Subtask B is to detect the exact source of a text, discerning whether it is written by a human or generated by a specific LLM. Subtask C aims to identify the changing point within a text, at which the authorship transitions from human to machine.

  SemEval-2024 Task 10 is a shared task centred on identifying emotions in code-mixed dialogues. This task comprises three distinct subtasks - emotion recognition in conversation for code-mixed dialogues, emotion flip reasoning for code-mixed dialogues, and emotion flip reasoning for English dialogues. A total of 84 participants engaged in this task, with the most adept systems attaining F1-scores of 0.70, 0.79, and 0.76 for the respective subtasks.

  Real-world tasks consist of multiple inter-dependent subtasks. In this work, we aim to model the causal dependencies between such subtasks from instructional videos describing the task. We present Multimodal Subtask Graph Generation (MSG2), an approach that constructs a Subtask Graph defining the dependency between a task's subtasks relevant to a task from noisy web videos.
