GENIE: Toward Reproducible and Standardized Human Evaluation for Text Generation

EMNLP 2022main

While often assumed a gold standard, effective human evaluation of text generation remains an important, open area for research.We revisit this problem with a focus on producing consistent evaluations that are reproducible—over time and across different populations. We study this goal in different s…

Extracting a Knowledge Base of Mechanisms from COVID-19 Papers

NAACL 2021long

The COVID-19 pandemic has spawned a diverse body of scientific literature that is challenging to navigate, stimulating interest in automated tools to help find useful knowledge. We pursue the construction of a knowledge base (KB) of mechanisms—a fundamental concept across the sciences, which encompa…

Polyjuice: Generating Counterfactuals for Explaining, Evaluating, and Improving Models

ACL 2021long

While counterfactual examples are useful for analysis and training of NLP models, current generation methods either rely on manual labor to create very few counterfactuals, or only instantiate limited types of perturbations such as paraphrases or word substitutions. We present Polyjuice, a general-p…
