• Abstract: Media houses reporting on public figures, often come with their own biases stemming from their respective worldviews. A characterization of these underlying patterns helps us in better understanding and interpreting news stories. For this, we need diverse or subjective summarizations, which may not be amenable for classifying into predefined class labels. This work proposes a zero-shot approach for non-extractive or generative characterizations of person entities from a corpus using GPT-2. We use well-articulated articles from several well-known news media houses as a corpus to build a sound argument for this approach. First, we fine-tune a GPT-2 pre-trained language model with a corpus where specific person entities are characterized. Second, we further fine-tune this with demonstrations of person entity characterizations, created from a corpus of programmatically constructed characterizations. This twice fine-tuned model is primed with manual prompts consisting of entity names that were not previously encountered in the second fine-tuning, to generate a simple sentence about the entity. The results were encouraging, when compared against actual characterizations from the corpus.

• PART: Pre-trained Authorship Representation Transformer [64.78260098263489]
  Authors writing documents imprint identifying information within their texts: vocabulary, registry, punctuation, misspellings, or even emoji usage. Previous works use hand-crafted features or classification tasks to train their authorship models, leading to poor performance on out-of-domain authors. We propose a contrastively trained model fit to learn textbfauthorship embeddings instead of semantics.

  We train a classifier that identifies machine-written sentences, and observe that the linguistic features of the sentences identified as written by a machine are significantly different from those of human-written sentences. The distilled information from the classifier is then used to train a reliable sentence embedding model. Our model trained on synthetic data generalizes well and outperforms the existing baselines.

  We propose SimplEx: a user-centred method that provides example-based explanations with reference to a freely selected set of examples. SimplEx uses the corpus to improve the user's understanding of the latent space with post-hoc explanations. We show that SimplEx empowers the user by highlighting relevant patterns in the corpus that explain model representations.

  We analyze zero-shot learning by paraphrasing training examples of canonical utterances and programs from a grammar. We propose bridging these gaps using improved grammars, stronger paraphrasers, and efficient learning methods. Our model achieves strong performance on two semantic parsing benchmarks (Scholar, Geo) with zero labeled data.

Their inherent characteristics, such as the informal, and noisy linguistic style, remain challenging to many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. This study fulfils an assessment of existing language models in distinguishing the sentiment expressed in tweets by using a rich collection of 22 datasets.
