• Title: Incorporating Human Explanations for Robust Hate Speech Detection
• Authors: Jennifer L. Chen, Faisal Ladhak, Daniel Li, Noémie Elhadad,
• Abstract summary: We develop a three stage analysis to evaluate if LMs faithfully assess hate speech. First, we observe the need for modeling contextually grounded stereotype intents to capture implicit semantic meaning. Next, we design a new task, Stereotype Intent Entailment (SIE), which encourages a model to contextually understand stereotype presence.

• Abstract: Given the black-box nature and complexity of large transformer language models (LM), concerns about generalizability and robustness present ethical implications for domains such as hate speech (HS) detection. Using the content rich Social Bias Frames dataset, containing human-annotated stereotypes, intent, and targeted groups, we develop a three stage analysis to evaluate if LMs faithfully assess hate speech. First, we observe the need for modeling contextually grounded stereotype intents to capture implicit semantic meaning. Next, we design a new task, Stereotype Intent Entailment (SIE), which encourages a model to contextually understand stereotype presence. Finally, through ablation tests and user studies, we find a SIE objective improves content understanding, but challenges remain in modeling implicit intent.

  We introduce HEARTS (Holistic Framework for Explainable, Sustainable, and Robust Text Stereotype Detection), a framework that enhances model performance, minimises carbon footprint, and provides transparent, interpretable explanations. We establish the Expanded Multi-Grain Stereotype dataset (EMGSD), comprising 57,201 labelled texts across six groups, including under-represented demographics like LGBTQ+ and regional stereotypes. We then analyse a fine-tuned, carbon-efficient ALBERT-V2 model using SHAP to generate token-level importance values, ensuring alignment with human understanding, and calculate explainability confidence scores by comparing SHAP and

  Pretrained language models (PLMs) have made significant strides in various natural language processing tasks. The lack of interpretability due to their black-box'' nature poses challenges for responsible implementation. We propose a novel approach to interpreting PLMs by employing high-level, meaningful concepts that are easily understandable for humans.

  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.

• On The Role of Reasoning in the Identification of Subtle Stereotypes in Natural Language [0.03749861135832073]
  Large language models (LLMs) are trained on vast, uncurated datasets that contain various forms of biases and language reinforcing harmful stereotypes. It is essential to examine and address biases in language models, integrating fairness into their development to ensure that these models do not perpetuate social biases. This work firmly establishes reasoning as a critical component in automatic stereotype detection and is a first step towards stronger stereotype mitigation pipelines for LLMs.

  We introduce a method for the analysis of text that takes implicitly communicated content explicitly into account. We use a large language model to produce sets of propositions that are inferentially related to the text that has been observed. Our results suggest that modeling the meanings behind observed language, rather than the literal text alone, is a valuable direction for NLP.
