• Abstract: The propagation of offensive content through social media channels has garnered attention of the research community. Multiple works have proposed various semantically related yet subtle distinct categories of offensive speech. In this work, we explore meta-earning approaches to leverage the diversity of offensive speech corpora to enhance their reliable and efficient detection. We propose a joint embedding architecture that incorporates the input's label and definition for classification via Prototypical Network. Our model achieves at least 75% of the maximal F1-score while using less than 10% of the available training data across 4 datasets. Our experimental findings also provide a case study of training strategies valuable to combat resource scarcity.

  Semi-supervised text classification (SSTC) has gained increasing attention due to its ability to leverage unlabeled data. Existing approaches based on pseudo-labeling suffer from the issues of pseudo-label bias and error accumulation. We propose JointMatch, a holistic approach for SSTC that addresses these challenges by unifying ideas from recent semi-supervised learning.

  Supervised paraphrasers rely heavily on large quantities of labelled data to help preserve meaning and intent. In this paper we aim to assist practitioners in developing usable paraphrasers by exploring In-Context Learning (ICL) with large language models (LLMs) Our study focuses on key factors such as - number and order of demonstrations, exclusion of prompt instruction, and reduction in measured toxicity.

  We introduce a novel approach based on PLMs and pointwise V-information (PVI), a metric that can measure the usefulness of a datapoint for training a model. Our method first fine-tunes a PLM on a small seed of training data and then synthesizes new datapoints - utterances that correspond to given intents. Our method is thus able to leverage the expressive power of large language models to produce diverse training data.

  A novel machine reasoning framework is proposed to disentangle source data so as to make it semantic-ready. In particular, a novel contrastive learning framework is proposed, whereby instance and cluster discrimination are performed on the data. Deep semantic clusters of highest confidence are considered learnable, semantic-rich data. Our simulation results showcase the superiority of our contrastive learning approach in terms of semantic impact and minimalism.

  This paper presents a paralleled visual-concept pre-training method for open-world detection by resorting to knowledge enrichment from a designed concept dictionary. By enriching the concepts with their descriptions, we explicitly build the relationships among various concepts to facilitate the open-domain learning. The proposed framework demonstrates strong zero-shot detection performances, e.g., on the LVIS dataset, our DetCLIP-T outperforms GLIP-T by 9.9% mAP and obtains a 13.5% improvement on rare categories.

  This paper proposes a novel approach that uses deep neural networks for classifying imagined speech. The proposed approach employs only the EEG channels over specific areas of the brain for classification, and derives distinct feature vectors from each of those channels. The proposed architecture and the approach of treating the data have resulted in an average classification accuracy of 57.15%, which is an improvement of around 35% over the state-of-the-art results.
