• Title: ''You should probably read this'': Hedge Detection in Text
• Authors: Denys Katerenchuk, Rivka Levitan,
• Abstract summary: Humans express ideas, beliefs, and statements through language. In this work, we apply a joint model that leverages words and part-of-speech tags to improve hedge detection in text and achieve a new top score on the CoNLL-2010 Wikipedia corpus.

• Abstract: Humans express ideas, beliefs, and statements through language. The manner of expression can carry information indicating the author's degree of confidence in their statement. Understanding the certainty level of a claim is crucial in areas such as medicine, finance, engineering, and many others where errors can lead to disastrous results. In this work, we apply a joint model that leverages words and part-of-speech tags to improve hedge detection in text and achieve a new top score on the CoNLL-2010 Wikipedia corpus.

• Can Large Language Models (or Humans) Disentangle Text? [6.858838842613459]
  We investigate the potential of large language models (LLMs) to disentangle text variables. We employ a range of various LLM approaches in an attempt to disentangle text by identifying and removing information about a target variable. We show that in the strong test of removing sentiment, the statistical association between the processed text and sentiment is still detectable to machine learning classifiers.

• Document Author Classification Using Parsed Language Structure [0.0]
  We explore a new possibility for detecting authorship using grammatical structure extracted using a statistical natural language. This paper provides a proof of concept, testing author classification based on grammatical structure on a set of "proof texts" Several features extracted from the statistical natural language were explored: all subtrees of some depth from any level; rooted subtrees of some depth, part of speech, and part of speech by level in the parse tree.

• Efficiently Leveraging Linguistic Priors for Scene Text Spotting [63.22351047545888]
  This paper proposes a method that leverages linguistic knowledge from a large text corpus to replace the traditional one-hot encoding used in auto-regressive scene text spotting and recognition models. We generate text distributions that align well with scene text datasets, removing the need for in-domain fine-tuning. Experimental results show that our method not only improves recognition accuracy but also enables more accurate localization of words.

• Bridging the Modality Gap for Speech-to-Text Translation [57.47099674461832]
  End-to-end speech translation aims to translate speech in one language into text in another language via an end-to-end way. Most existing methods employ an encoder-decoder structure with a single encoder to learn acoustic representation and semantic information simultaneously. We propose a Speech-to-Text Adaptation for Speech Translation model which aims to improve the end-to-end model performance by bridging the modality gap between speech and text.
