Understanding and Predicting Human Label Variation in Natural Language Inference through Explanation

Nan-Jiang Jiang, Chenhao Tan, Marie-Catherine de Marneffe

Human label variation (Plank 2022), or annotation disagreement, exists in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. To be robust and trusted, NLP models need to identify such v…

Investigating the Effect of Natural Language Explanations on Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Few-shot NLI

Yangqiaoyu Zhou, Chenhao Tan

Although neural models have shown strong performance in datasets such as SNLI, they lack the ability to generalize out-of-distribution (OOD). In this work, we formulate a few-shot…
