• Title: GPT-DETOX: An In-Context Learning-Based Paraphraser for Text Detoxification
• Authors: Ali Pesaranghader, Nikhil Verma, Manasa Bharadwaj,
• Abstract summary: We propose GPT-DETOX as a framework for prompt-based in-context learning for text detoxification using GPT-3.5 Turbo. To generate few-shot prompts, we propose two methods: word-matching example selection (WMES) and context-matching example selection (CMES) We take into account ensemble in-context learning (EICL) where the ensemble is shaped by base prompts from zero-shot and all few-shot settings.

• Abstract: Harmful and offensive communication or content is detrimental to social bonding and the mental state of users on social media platforms. Text detoxification is a crucial task in natural language processing (NLP), where the goal is removing profanity and toxicity from text while preserving its content. Supervised and unsupervised learning are common approaches for designing text detoxification solutions. However, these methods necessitate fine-tuning, leading to computational overhead. In this paper, we propose GPT-DETOX as a framework for prompt-based in-context learning for text detoxification using GPT-3.5 Turbo. We utilize zero-shot and few-shot prompting techniques for detoxifying input sentences. To generate few-shot prompts, we propose two methods: word-matching example selection (WMES) and context-matching example selection (CMES). We additionally take into account ensemble in-context learning (EICL) where the ensemble is shaped by base prompts from zero-shot and all few-shot settings. We use ParaDetox and APPDIA as benchmark detoxification datasets. Our experimental results show that the zero-shot solution achieves promising performance, while our best few-shot setting outperforms the state-of-the-art models on ParaDetox and shows comparable results on APPDIA. Our EICL solutions obtain the greatest performance, adding at least 10% improvement, against both datasets.

  Fine-grained detoxification via instance-level prefixes (FGDILP) to mitigate toxic text without additional cost. FGDILP contrasts the contextualized representation in attention space using a positive prefix-prepended prompt. We validate that FGDILP enables controlled text generation with regard to toxicity at both the utterance and context levels.

To classify texts, we train embedding models to determine the distances between document embeddings and the embeddings of a suitable lexicon. We show that our model outperforms lexica and provides a basis for a high performing few-shot fine-tuning approach in the task of binary sentiment analysis.
