Abstract A growing body of work makes use of probing in order to investigate the working of neural models, often considered black boxes. Recently, an ongoing debate emerged surrounding the limitations of the probing paradigm. In this work, we point out the inability to infer behavioral conclusions from probing results, and offer an alternative method that focuses on how the information is being used, rather than on what information is encoded. Our method, Amnesic Probing, follows the intuition that the utility of a property for a given task can be assessed by measuring the influence of a causal intervention that removes it from the representation. Equipped with this new analysis tool, we can ask questions that were not possible before, for example, is part-of-speech information important for word prediction? We perform a series of analyses on BERT to answer these types of questions. Our findings demonstrate that conventional probing performance is not correlated to task importance, and we call for increased scrutiny of claims that draw behavioral or causal conclusions from probing results.1

This study aimed at comparative in Communication Skills between who are under the control of Behavioral Therapeutic and Behavioral & medicinal Therapeutic with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder children. A random sample were selected consis t of 34 children with ADHD, who visit the psychoclinics : 14 for first group and 20 for second group aged 6-9 years old. Children with ADHD scaled by DSM-5, C. Kconners and Vineland Adaptive Behavior scales (Communication). The results didn’t reveal statistically significant differences in total score of Communication between both groups. Besides there weren't statistically significant differences in branch dimensions of Communication (the Expressive language, the Receptive language, the Reading and writing) for children with ADHD between both groups.
The Study is directed to reveal how effective the behavioral-cognitive therapy in reducing the symptoms of obsession through a program applied on individuals with compulsive behavior and/or obsessive thinking involved in the study. The study uses co gnitive therapy techniques and the (intense) exposure and response prevention technique (ERP) that has proved to be efficient in many researches and clinical studies so as to know whether the statistically significant. Differences between the averages of the means of the sample to be studied on a scale for measuring the obsession symptoms before and after applying the therapeutically program on the individuals involved in the sample are attributed to the effect of the program designed. In this study, the sample involves individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder according to Yale Brown Scale, and it includes 12 patients (3) males and (9) females aging (20-25) who were supervised by psychiatrists. The researcher uses the one-group system; i.e., premeasurement – therapy or intervention – post-measurement.
Humans use commonsense reasoning (CSR) implicitly to produce natural and coherent responses in conversations. Aiming to close the gap between current response generation (RG) models and human communication abilities, we want to understand why RG mode ls respond as they do by probing RG model's understanding of commonsense reasoning that elicits proper responses. We formalize the problem by framing commonsense as a latent variable in the RG task and using explanations for responses as textual form of commonsense. We collect 6k annotated explanations justifying responses from four dialogue datasets and ask humans to verify them and propose two probing settings to evaluate RG models' CSR capabilities. Probing results show that models fail to capture the logical relations between commonsense explanations and responses and fine-tuning on in-domain data and increasing model sizes do not lead to understanding of CSR for RG. We hope our study motivates more research in making RG models emulate the human reasoning process in pursuit of smooth human-AI communication.
Regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and improved mental well-being. Yet, more than half of the US population is insufficiently active. Health coaching has been successful in promotin g healthy behaviors. In this paper, we present our work towards assisting health coaches by extracting the physical activity goal the user and coach negotiate via text messages. We show that information captured by dialogue acts can help to improve the goal extraction results. We employ both traditional and transformer-based machine learning models for dialogue acts prediction and find them statistically indistinguishable in performance on our health coaching dataset. Moreover, we discuss the feedback provided by the health coaches when evaluating the correctness of the extracted goal summaries. This work is a step towards building a virtual assistant health coach to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Abstract Debugging a machine learning model is hard since the bug usually involves the training data and the learning process. This becomes even harder for an opaque deep learning model if we have no clue about how the model actually works. In this s urvey, we review papers that exploit explanations to enable humans to give feedback and debug NLP models. We call this problem explanation-based human debugging (EBHD). In particular, we categorize and discuss existing work along three dimensions of EBHD (the bug context, the workflow, and the experimental setting), compile findings on how EBHD components affect the feedback providers, and highlight open problems that could be future research directions.
