• Abstract: Recent work has explored the use of personal information in the form of persona sentences or self-disclosures to improve modeling of individual characteristics and prediction of annotator labels for subjective tasks. The volume of personal information has historically been restricted and thus little exploration has gone into understanding what kind of information is most informative for predicting annotator labels. In this work, we categorize self-disclosure sentences and use them to build annotator models for predicting judgments of social norms. We perform several ablations and analyses to examine the impact of the type of information on our ability to predict annotation patterns. We find that demographics are more impactful than attitudes, relationships, and experiences. Generally, theory-based approaches worked better than automatic clusters. Contrary to previous work, only a small number of related comments are needed. Lastly, having a more diverse sample of annotator self-disclosures leads to the best performance.

  We propose PEARL, a novel generative framework for personalized sticker retrieval.<n>We make two key contributions: (i) To encode user-specific sticker preferences, we design a representation learning model to learn discriminative user representations, and (ii) To generate stickers aligned with a user's query intent, we propose a novel intent-aware learning objective.<n> Empirical results from both offline evaluations and online tests demonstrate that PEARL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

  A crucial problem in hate speech detection is determining whether a statement is offensive to a demographic group. We construct a model that predicts individual annotator ratings on potentially offensive text. We find that annotator ratings can be predicted using their demographic information and opinions on online content.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

  This paper studies a model that protects the privacy of individuals' sensitive information while also allowing it to learn non-discriminatory predictors. A key characteristic of the proposed model is to enable the adoption of off-the-selves and non-private fair models to create a privacy-preserving and fair model.

  We introduce the perceptual score, a metric that assesses the degree to which a model relies on the different subsets of the input features. We find that recent, more accurate multi-modal models for visual question-answering tend to perceive the visual data less than their predecessors. Using the perceptual score also helps to analyze model biases by decomposing the score into data subset contributions.
