Benchmarking LLM Competence on Logical Inference over Probability Operators

Nayera Hasan, Jack Greff, Alvin Grissom

Both expressions of uncertainty and inferences are ubiquitous in natural language, and valid inferences over natural-language expressions of uncertainty are necessary for not only…

ADAGE: A Language-Agnostic Pipeline for Analogical Reasoning Evaluation

Ahmed Haj Ahmed, Alvin Grissom

Multilingual reasoning evaluation overwhelmingly relies on translating English benchmarks, a practice that introduces linguistic artifacts and fails to test culturally-grounded rea…

Disentangling Linguistic Relatedness from Task Alignment in Cross-Lingual Transfer

Ahmed Haj Ahmed, Ruochen Zhang, Alvin Grissom

We study cross-lingual transfer by fine-tuning seven large language models (4B--671B parameters) on Arabic and evaluating zero-shot reading comprehension on Semitic languages and n…

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Human-Centered Machine Translation

Marine Carpuat, Omri Asscher, Kalika Bali +17

Machine Translation (MT) tools are widely used today, often in contexts where professional translators are not present. Despite progress in MT technology, a gap persists between sy…

CULEMO: Cultural Lenses on Emotion -- Benchmarking LLMs for Cross-Cultural Emotion Understanding

Tadesse Destaw Belay, Ahmed Haj Ahmed, Alvin Grissom +4

NLP research has increasingly focused on subjective tasks such as emotion analysis. However, existing emotion benchmarks suffer from two major shortcomings: (1) they largely rely o…

Examining Pathological Bias in a Generative Adversarial Network Discriminator: A Case Study on a StyleGAN3 Model

Alvin Grissom, Ryan F. Lei, Matt Gusdorff +3

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) generate photorealistic faces that are often indistinguishable by humans from real faces. While biases in machine learning models are often a…

Rare but Severe Neural Machine Translation Errors Induced by Minimal Deletion: An Empirical Study on Chinese and English

Ruikang Shi, Alvin Grissom, Duc Minh Trinh

We examine the inducement of rare but severe errors in English-Chinese and Chinese-English in-domain neural machine translation by minimal deletion of the source text with characte…

Investigating Sports Commentator Bias within a Large Corpus of American Football Broadcasts

Jack Merullo, Luke Yeh, Abram Handler +3

Sports broadcasters inject drama into play-by-play commentary by building team and player narratives through subjective analyses and anecdotes. Prior studies based on small dataset…

Pathologies of Neural Models Make Interpretations Difficult

Shi Feng, Eric Wallace, Alvin Grissom +3

One way to interpret neural model predictions is to highlight the most important input features---for example, a heatmap visualization over the words in an input sentence. In exist…
