人们的行为和反应是由他们的情绪驱动的。在线社交媒体正在成为以书面形式表达情感的绝佳工具。注意上下文和整个句子，帮助我们从文本中检测到情感。但是，这种观点抑制了我们注意文本中的一些情感单词或短语，尤其是当单词隐含地而不是明确地表达情感时。另一方面，仅关注单词并忽略上下文会导致对句子含义和感觉的扭曲理解。在本文中，我们提出了一个框架，该框架分析句子和单词级别的文本。我们将其命名为CEFER（情感识别的上下文和情感嵌入式框架）。我们的四个方法是通过同时考虑整个句子和每个单词以及隐式和明确的情绪来提取数据。从这些数据中获得的知识不仅减轻了前面方法中缺陷的影响，而且还可以增强特征向量。我们使用BERT家族评估几个功能空间，并根据其设计CEFER。 CEFER将每个单词的情感向量（包括明确和隐性情绪）与基于上下文的每个单词的特征向量相结合。 CEFER的表现比Bert家族更好。实验结果表明，识别隐性情绪比检测明确的情绪更具挑战性。 CEFER，提高了隐性情绪识别的准确性。根据结果​​，CEFER在识别明确的情绪和隐性中的3％方面的表现要比BERT家族好5％。

While the capabilities of autonomous systems have been steadily improving in recent years, these systems still struggle to rapidly explore previously unknown environments without the aid of GPS-assisted navigation. The DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge aimed to fast track the development of autonomous exploration systems by evaluating their performance in real-world underground search-and-rescue scenarios. Subterranean environments present a plethora of challenges for robotic systems, such as limited communications, complex topology, visually-degraded sensing, and harsh terrain. The presented solution enables long-term autonomy with minimal human supervision by combining a powerful and independent single-agent autonomy stack, with higher level mission management operating over a flexible mesh network. The autonomy suite deployed on quadruped and wheeled robots was fully independent, freeing the human supervision to loosely supervise the mission and make high-impact strategic decisions. We also discuss lessons learned from fielding our system at the SubT Final Event, relating to vehicle versatility, system adaptability, and re-configurable communications.

This paper presents our solutions for the MediaEval 2022 task on DisasterMM. The task is composed of two subtasks, namely (i) Relevance Classification of Twitter Posts (RCTP), and (ii) Location Extraction from Twitter Texts (LETT). The RCTP subtask aims at differentiating flood-related and non-relevant social posts while LETT is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) task and aims at the extraction of location information from the text. For RCTP, we proposed four different solutions based on BERT, RoBERTa, Distil BERT, and ALBERT obtaining an F1-score of 0.7934, 0.7970, 0.7613, and 0.7924, respectively. For LETT, we used three models namely BERT, RoBERTa, and Distil BERTA obtaining an F1-score of 0.6256, 0.6744, and 0.6723, respectively.

In recent years, social media has been widely explored as a potential source of communication and information in disasters and emergency situations. Several interesting works and case studies of disaster analytics exploring different aspects of natural disasters have been already conducted. Along with the great potential, disaster analytics comes with several challenges mainly due to the nature of social media content. In this paper, we explore one such challenge and propose a text classification framework to deal with Twitter noisy data. More specifically, we employed several transformers both individually and in combination, so as to differentiate between relevant and non-relevant Twitter posts, achieving the highest F1-score of 0.87.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic joint disease worldwide, where knee OA takes more than 80% of commonly affected joints. Knee OA is not a curable disease yet, and it affects large columns of patients, making it costly to patients and healthcare systems. Etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of knee OA might be argued by variability in its clinical and physical manifestations. Although knee OA carries a list of well-known terminology aiming to standardize the nomenclature of the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes of the chronic joint disease, in practice there is a wide range of terminology associated with knee OA across different data sources, including but not limited to biomedical literature, clinical notes, healthcare literacy, and health-related social media. Among these data sources, the scientific articles published in the biomedical literature usually make a principled pipeline to study disease. Rapid yet, accurate text mining on large-scale scientific literature may discover novel knowledge and terminology to better understand knee OA and to improve the quality of knee OA diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. The present works aim to utilize artificial neural network strategies to automatically extract vocabularies associated with knee OA diseases. Our finding indicates the feasibility of developing word embedding neural networks for autonomous keyword extraction and abstraction of knee OA.

Neural models that do not rely on pre-training have excelled in the keyphrase generation task with large annotated datasets. Meanwhile, new approaches have incorporated pre-trained language models (PLMs) for their data efficiency. However, there lacks a systematic study of how the two types of approaches compare and how different design choices can affect the performance of PLM-based models. To fill in this knowledge gap and facilitate a more informed use of PLMs for keyphrase extraction and keyphrase generation, we present an in-depth empirical study. Formulating keyphrase extraction as sequence labeling and keyphrase generation as sequence-to-sequence generation, we perform extensive experiments in three domains. After showing that PLMs have competitive high-resource performance and state-of-the-art low-resource performance, we investigate important design choices including in-domain PLMs, PLMs with different pre-training objectives, using PLMs with a parameter budget, and different formulations for present keyphrases. Further results show that (1) in-domain BERT-like PLMs can be used to build strong and data-efficient keyphrase generation models; (2) with a fixed parameter budget, prioritizing model depth over width and allocating more layers in the encoder leads to better encoder-decoder models; and (3) introducing four in-domain PLMs, we achieve a competitive performance in the news domain and the state-of-the-art performance in the scientific domain.

Privacy policies provide individuals with information about their rights and how their personal information is handled. Natural language understanding (NLU) technologies can support individuals and practitioners to understand better privacy practices described in lengthy and complex documents. However, existing efforts that use NLU technologies are limited by processing the language in a way exclusive to a single task focusing on certain privacy practices. To this end, we introduce the Privacy Policy Language Understanding Evaluation (PLUE) benchmark, a multi-task benchmark for evaluating the privacy policy language understanding across various tasks. We also collect a large corpus of privacy policies to enable privacy policy domain-specific language model pre-training. We demonstrate that domain-specific pre-training offers performance improvements across all tasks. We release the benchmark to encourage future research in this domain.

While pre-trained language models (LM) for code have achieved great success in code completion, they generate code conditioned only on the contents within the file, i.e., in-file context, but ignore the rich semantics in other files within the same project, i.e., cross-file context, a critical source of information that is especially useful in modern modular software development. Such overlooking constrains code language models' capacity in code completion, leading to unexpected behaviors such as generating hallucinated class member functions or function calls with unexpected arguments. In this work, we develop a cross-file context finder tool, CCFINDER, that effectively locates and retrieves the most relevant cross-file context. We propose CoCoMIC, a framework that incorporates cross-file context to learn the in-file and cross-file context jointly on top of pretrained code LMs. CoCoMIC successfully improves the existing code LM with a 19.30% relative increase in exact match and a 15.41% relative increase in identifier matching for code completion when the cross-file context is provided.

Deep learning can extract rich data representations if provided sufficient quantities of labeled training data. For many tasks however, annotating data has significant costs in terms of time and money, owing to the high standards of subject matter expertise required, for example in medical and geophysical image interpretation tasks. Active Learning can identify the most informative training examples for the interpreter to train, leading to higher efficiency. We propose an Active learning method based on jointly learning representations for supervised and unsupervised tasks. The learned manifold structure is later utilized to identify informative training samples most dissimilar from the learned manifold from the error profiles on the unsupervised task. We verify the efficiency of the proposed method on a seismic facies segmentation dataset from the Netherlands F3 block survey, significantly outperforming contemporary methods to achieve the highest mean Intersection-Over-Union value of 0.773.

Hydrocarbon prospect risking is a critical application in geophysics predicting well outcomes from a variety of data including geological, geophysical, and other information modalities. Traditional routines require interpreters to go through a long process to arrive at the probability of success of specific outcomes. AI has the capability to automate the process but its adoption has been limited thus far owing to a lack of transparency in the way complicated, black box models generate decisions. We demonstrate how LIME -- a model-agnostic explanation technique -- can be used to inject trust in model decisions by uncovering the model's reasoning process for individual predictions. It generates these explanations by fitting interpretable models in the local neighborhood of specific datapoints being queried. On a dataset of well outcomes and corresponding geophysical attribute data, we show how LIME can induce trust in model's decisions by revealing the decision-making process to be aligned to domain knowledge. Further, it has the potential to debug mispredictions made due to anomalous patterns in the data or faulty training datasets.
