غالبا ما يتم إجراء اعتدال المحتوى عن طريق التعاون بين البشر ونماذج التعلم الآلي. ومع ذلك، ليس من المفهوم جيدا كيفية تصميم العملية التعاونية لزيادة أداء نظام النموذج النموذجي المدمج. يقدم هذا العمل دراسة صارمة لهذه المشكلة، مع التركيز على نهج يتضمن عدم اليقين النموذجي في العملية التعاونية. أولا، نقدم مقاييس مبدئية لوصف أداء النظام التعاوني في ظل قيود القدرات على المشرف البشري، وقم بترتيب مدى كفاءة النظام المشترك يستخدم القرارات الإنسانية. باستخدام هذه المقاييس، نقوم بإجراء دراسة مرجعية كبيرة تقيم أداء نماذج عدم اليقين الحديثة في إطار استراتيجيات مراجعة تعاونية مختلفة. نجد أن الاستراتيجية القائمة على عدم اليقين تتفوق باستمرار على الاستراتيجية المستخدمة على نطاق واسع بناء على درجات السمية، وعلاوة على ذلك أن اختيار استراتيجية المراجعة يغير بشكل كبير أداء النظام الشامل. توضح نتائجنا أهمية مقاييس صارمة لفهم وتطوير أنظمة نماذج مشرف فعالة للاعتدال المحتوى، وكذلك فائدة تقدير عدم اليقين في هذا المجال.
Content moderation is often performed by a collaboration between humans and machine learning models. However, it is not well understood how to design the collaborative process so as to maximize the combined moderator-model system performance. This work presents a rigorous study of this problem, focusing on an approach that incorporates model uncertainty into the collaborative process. First, we introduce principled metrics to describe the performance of the collaborative system under capacity constraints on the human moderator, quantifying how efficiently the combined system utilizes human decisions. Using these metrics, we conduct a large benchmark study evaluating the performance of state-of-the-art uncertainty models under different collaborative review strategies. We find that an uncertainty-based strategy consistently outperforms the widely used strategy based on toxicity scores, and moreover that the choice of review strategy drastically changes the overall system performance. Our results demonstrate the importance of rigorous metrics for understanding and developing effective moderator-model systems for content moderation, as well as the utility of uncertainty estimation in this domain.

Recent multilingual pre-trained language models have achieved remarkable zero-shot performance, where the model is only finetuned on one source language and directly evaluated on target languages. In this work, we propose a self-learning framework th
at further utilizes unlabeled data of target languages, combined with uncertainty estimation in the process to select high-quality silver labels. Three different uncertainties are adapted and analyzed specifically for the cross lingual transfer: Language Heteroscedastic/Homoscedastic Uncertainty (LEU/LOU), Evidential Uncertainty (EVI). We evaluate our framework with uncertainties on two cross-lingual tasks including Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Natural Language Inference (NLI) covering 40 languages in total, which outperforms the baselines significantly by 10 F1 for NER on average and 2.5 accuracy for NLI.
Quality Estimation (QE) plays an essential role in applications of Machine Translation (MT). Traditionally, a QE system accepts the original source text and translation from a black-box MT system as input. Recently, a few studies indicate that as a b
y-product of translation, QE benefits from the model and training data's information of the MT system where the translations come from, and it is called the glass-box QE''. In this paper, we extend the definition of glass-box QE'' generally to uncertainty quantification with both black-box'' and glass-box'' approaches and design several features deduced from them to blaze a new trial in improving QE's performance. We propose a framework to fuse the feature engineering of uncertainty quantification into a pre-trained cross-lingual language model to predict the translation quality. Experiment results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performances on the datasets of WMT 2020 QE shared task.
Abstract Consistency of a model---that is, the invariance of its behavior under meaning-preserving alternations in its input---is a highly desirable property in natural language processing. In this paper we study the question: Are Pretrained Language
Models (PLMs) consistent with respect to factual knowledge? To this end, we create ParaRel?, a high-quality resource of cloze-style query English paraphrases. It contains a total of 328 paraphrases for 38 relations. Using ParaRel?, we show that the consistency of all PLMs we experiment with is poor--- though with high variance between relations. Our analysis of the representational spaces of PLMs suggests that they have a poor structure and are currently not suitable for representing knowledge robustly. Finally, we propose a method for improving model consistency and experimentally demonstrate its effectiveness.1
Aspect detection is a fundamental task in opinion mining. Previous works use seed words either as priors of topic models, as anchors to guide the learning of aspects, or as features of aspect classifiers. This paper presents a novel weakly-supervised
method to exploit seed words for aspect detection based on an encoder architecture. The encoder maps segments and aspects into a low-dimensional embedding space. The goal is approximating similarity between segments and aspects in the embedding space and their ground-truth similarity generated from seed words. An objective function is proposed to capture the uncertainty of ground-truth similarity. Our method outperforms previous works on several benchmarks in various domains.
Recent advances in NLP systems, notably the pretraining-and-finetuning paradigm, have achieved great success in predictive accuracy. However, these systems are usually not well calibrated for uncertainty out-of-the-box. Many recalibration methods hav
e been proposed in the literature for quantifying predictive uncertainty and calibrating model outputs, with varying degrees of complexity. In this work, we present a systematic study of a few of these methods. Focusing on the text classification task and finetuned large pretrained language models, we first show that many of the finetuned models are not well calibrated out-of-the-box, especially when the data come from out-of-domain settings. Next, we compare the effectiveness of a few widely-used recalibration methods (such as ensembles, temperature scaling). Then, we empirically illustrate a connection between distillation and calibration. We view distillation as a regularization term encouraging the student model to output uncertainties that match those of a teacher model. With this insight, we develop simple recalibration methods based on distillation with no additional inference-time cost. We show on the GLUE benchmark that our simple methods can achieve competitive out-of-domain (OOD) calibration performance w.r.t. more expensive approaches. Finally, we include ablations to understand the usefulness of components of our proposed method and examine the transferability of calibration via distillation.
