Indirectness is a common feature of daily communication, yet is underexplored in NLP research for both low-resource as well as high-resource languages. Indirect Question Answering…
EVADE: LLM-Based Explanation Generation and Validation for Error Detection in NLI
Longfei Zuo, Barbara Plank, Siyao Peng
High-quality datasets are critical for training and evaluating reliable NLP models. In tasks like natural language inference (NLI), human label variation (HLV) arises when multiple…
Decoupling the Effect of Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: A Human Label Variation Perspective
Beiduo Chen, Tiancheng Hu, Caiqi Zhang +3
Reasoning-tuned LLMs utilizing long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) excel at single-answer tasks, yet their ability to model Human Label Variation--which requires capturing probabilistic am…
Agree, Disagree, Explain: Decomposing Human Label Variation in NLI through the Lens of Explanations
Pingjun Hong, Beiduo Chen, Siyao Peng +3
Natural Language Inference (NLI) datasets often exhibit human label variation. To better understand these variations, explanation-based approaches analyze the underlying reasoning…
Standard-to-Dialect Transfer Trends Differ across Text and Speech: A Case Study on Intent and Topic Classification in German Dialects
Verena Blaschke, Miriam Winkler, Barbara Plank
Research on cross-dialectal transfer from a standard to a non-standard dialect variety has typically focused on text data. However, dialects are primarily spoken, and non-standard…
