Structural Balance in Real-World Social Networks: Incorporating Direction and Transitivity in Measuring Partial Balance

Rezvaneh Rezapour, Ly Dinh, Lan Jiang +1

Structural balance theory predicts that triads in networks gravitate towards stable configurations. The theory has been verified for undirected graphs. Since real-world networks ar…

Examining the Causal Effect of First Names on Language Models: The Case of Social Commonsense Reasoning

Sullam Jeoung, Jana Diesner, Halil Kilicoglu

As language models continue to be integrated into applications of personal and societal relevance, ensuring these models' trustworthiness is crucial, particularly with respect to p…

PyTAIL: Interactive and Incremental Learning of NLP Models with Human in the Loop for Online Data

Shubhanshu Mishra, Jana Diesner

Online data streams make training machine learning models hard because of distribution shift and new patterns emerging over time. For natural language processing (NLP) tasks that u…

What Changed? Investigating Debiasing Methods using Causal Mediation Analysis

Sullam Jeoung, Jana Diesner

Previous work has examined how debiasing language models affect downstream tasks, specifically, how debiasing techniques influence task performance and whether debiased models also…

WikiCSSH: Extracting and Evaluating Computer Science Subject Headings from Wikipedia

Kanyao Han, Pingjing Yang, Shubhanshu Mishra +1

Hierarchical domain-specific classification schemas (or subject heading vocabularies) are often used to identify, classify, and disambiguate concepts that occur in scholarly articl…

Over-time measurement of triadic closure in coauthorship networks

Jinseok Kim, Jana Diesner

Applying the concept of triadic closure to coauthorship networks means that scholars are likely to publish a joint paper if they have previously coauthored with the same people. Pr…

Formational bounds of link prediction in collaboration networks

Jinseok Kim, Jana Diesner

Link prediction in collaboration networks is often solved by identifying structural properties of existing nodes that are disconnected at one point in time, and that share a link l…

Structural balance in signed digraphs: considering transitivity to measure balance in graphs constructed by using different link signing methods

Ly Dinh, Rezvaneh Rezapour, Lan Jiang +1

Structural balance theory assumes triads in networks to gravitate towards stable configurations. The theory has been verified for undirected graphs. Since real-world networks are o…

An Empirical Methodology for Detecting and Prioritizing Needs during Crisis Events

M. Janina Sarol, Ly Dinh, Rezvaneh Rezapour +3

In times of crisis, identifying the essential needs is a crucial step to providing appropriate resources and services to affected entities. Social media platforms such as Twitter c…

Multilevel Structural Evaluation of Signed Directed Social Networks based on Balance Theory

Samin Aref, Ly Dinh, Rezvaneh Rezapour +1

Balance theory explains the forces behind the structure of social systems, which are commonly modeled as static undirected signed networks. We expand this modeling approach to inco…

REO-Relevance, Extraness, Omission: A Fine-grained Evaluation for Image Captioning

Ming Jiang, Junjie Hu, Qiuyuan Huang +3

Popular metrics used for evaluating image captioning systems, such as BLEU and CIDEr, provide a single score to gauge the system's overall effectiveness. This score is often not in…

TIGEr: Text-to-Image Grounding for Image Caption Evaluation

Ming Jiang, Qiuyuan Huang, Lei Zhang +5

This paper presents a new metric called TIGEr for the automatic evaluation of image captioning systems. Popular metrics, such as BLEU and CIDEr, are based solely on text matching b…

Coauthorship networks: A directed network approach considering the order and number of coauthors

Jinseok Kim, Jana Diesner

In many scientific fields, the order of coauthors on a paper conveys information about each individual's contribution to a piece of joint work. We argue that in prior network analy…

Distortive Effects of Initial-Based Name Disambiguation on Measurements of Large-Scale Coauthorship Networks

Jinseok Kim, Jana Diesner

Scholars have often relied on name initials to resolve name ambiguities in large-scale coauthorship network research. This approach bears the risk of incorrectly merging or splitti…
