• Title: Using Natural Language Processing and Networks to Automate Structured Literature Reviews: An Application to Farmers Climate Change Adaptation
• Authors: Sofia Gil-Clavel, Tatiana Filatova,
• Abstract summary: This work aims to sensibly use Natural Language Processing by extracting variables relations and synthesizing their findings using networks. As an example, we apply our methodology to the analysis of farmers' adaptation to climate change. Results show that the use of Natural Language Processing together with networks in a descriptive manner offers a fast and interpretable way to synthesize literature review findings.

• Abstract: The fast-growing number of research articles makes it problematic for scholars to keep track of the new findings related to their areas of expertise. Furthermore, linking knowledge across disciplines in rapidly developing fields becomes challenging for complex topics like climate change that demand interdisciplinary solutions. At the same time, the rise of Black Box types of text summarization makes it difficult to understand how text relationships are built, let alone relate to existing theories conceptualizing cause-effect relationships and permitting hypothesizing. This work aims to sensibly use Natural Language Processing by extracting variables relations and synthesizing their findings using networks while relating to key concepts dominant in relevant disciplines. As an example, we apply our methodology to the analysis of farmers' adaptation to climate change. For this, we perform a Natural Language Processing analysis of publications returned by Scopus in August 2022. Results show that the use of Natural Language Processing together with networks in a descriptive manner offers a fast and interpretable way to synthesize literature review findings as long as researchers back up results with theory.

  Vision systems to see and reason about the compositional nature of visual scenes are fundamental to understanding our world. The models learned to bridge the gap between such modalities coupled with large-scale training data facilitate contextual reasoning, generalization, and prompt capabilities at test time. The output of such models can be modified through human-provided prompts without retraining, e.g., segmenting a particular object by providing a bounding box, having interactive dialogues by asking questions about an image or video scene or manipulating the robot's behavior through language instructions.

  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.
