today an interview to @gossminn about our work (@saranonpiangere Chiara Zanchi & Malvina Nissim) on #femicide (best paper at #aacl2022 ) featured in the Italian newspaper #ilcorriere #login ! If you are in #Italy get your copy to read the full interview 😅

AACL-IJCNLP 2022 is over and it was a pleasure to attend
virtually - despite the painfully noticeable time difference.

Our paper "The Lifecycle of "Facts": A Survey of Social Bias in Knowledge Graphs" (co-author Ricardo Usbeck) is now available in the proceedings:

"Some Languages are More Equal than Others: Probing Deeper into the Linguistic Disparity in the NLP World"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08523

A very strong paper with important analyses. Highly recommended read.

Toot thread from the #fairness in #NLProc panel from #aacl2022

Panelists: Monojit Choudhury, Sunipa Dev, Alice Oh, @isa
(Sorry, I dont have all Mastodon handles here, please tag them if you know theirs.)

Moderator: Mona Diab

Q: Perspectives on definitions of fairness

Alice: We do not have a general definitions of fairness. Current metrics do not take the variations of geo-cultural variables.

Sunipa: context/use-case is imp. Flip the Q: instead of is it fair, ask what harm can it cause.

Our paper "Higher-Order Dependency Parsing for Arc-Polynomial Score Functions via Gradient-Based Methods and Genetic Algorithm" by Xudong Zhang, myself, and Thierry Charnois will be presented at AACL-IJCNLP 2022 tomorrow 11/23/22

Today I am presenting to #AACL2022 the paper “Dodging the Data Bottleneck: Automatic Subtitling with Automatically Segmented ST Corpora” (https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.10608)! See you at the poster session! #nlp #nlproc

And I guess I'm on side ""Why is the question even framed this way?"

#NLP #NLProc #AACL2022

Super excited to be at #aacl2022 in virtual Taipei! Starting early this morning with my presentation together with @saranonpiangere, Chiara Zanchi, @tommaso_caselli and Malvina Nissim :toot: :BlobhajSadReach:

Find our paper "Dead or Murdered? Predicting Responsibility Perception in Femicide News Reports" at https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.12030

Time for presenting our paper “Dead or murdered” (best paper #aacl2022 🎉) - very early birds and very happy #nlproc @gronlp @gossminn Malvina Nissim

I am going to be attending #aacl2022 starting tomorrow, virtually!

Looking forward to the first live-mastodoning experience :)

I will also present our paper on Fairness in the Indian context on Nov 22 in poster session 1. Do come say hi :)

PS: Is mastodoning the right equivalent of tweeting? Does sound like a handful.

PPS: Is there a way to quote a tweet on mastodon?

We will present this work at #AACL2022 Poster Session 1 on Nov 22, 12:20 PM GMT+8 and at #NeurIPS2022 Cultures/AI Workshop on Dec 9, 12:30 PM PST.

Drop by, if you are attending :)

I finally made the move from birdsite!

I'll use this account mostly for sharing things related to my research work, and occasionally for political ramblings.

For now, here are some pointers to some of my recent research news:

- our recent paper (w/ @saranonpiangere, Chiara Zanchi, @tommaso_caselli & Malvina Nissim, https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.12030) about predicting perception of gender-based violence / #femicide with #nlproc models got accepted to #aacl2022 and won the best paper award
