How ChatGPT Will Destabilize White-Collar Work - The Atlantic
In the next five years, it is likely that AI will begin to reduce employment for college-educated workers. As the technology continues to advance, it will be able to perform tasks that were previously thought to require a high level of education and skill. This could lead to a displacement of workers in certain industries, as companies look to cut costs by automating processes. While it is difficult to predict the exact extent of this trend, it is clear that AI will have a significant impact on the job market for college-educated workers. It will be important for individuals to stay up to date on the latest developments in AI and to consider how their skills and expertise can be leveraged in a world where machines are increasingly able to perform many tasks.
Red Ventures-owned CNET goes into damage control, pauses AI-written stories
CNET will stop publishing articles written entirely by robots after receiving a copious amount of negative attention over the practice during the last few weeks. The affirmation was made on a conference call with editorial employees and executives at CNET's parent company, marketing firm Red Ventures, on Friday, about two weeks after the website Futurist exposed several AI-written articles on financial topics that contained severe, glaring errors. On Friday, CNET's editor-in-chief Connie Guglielmo said the publication's use of robots wasn't done "in secret," but was instead done "quietly," and affirmed CNET disclosed their use of artificial intelligence to readers on the affected articles. But that disclosure wasn't initially visible to readers unless they clicked on an article's byline. In most cases, the byline read "CNET Money Staff," and there was no visible affirmation that the story being read was written by a robot.
He made a children's book using AI. Then came the rage.
The end result is impressive to anyone unfamiliar with AI but often far from perfect: Images tend to appear with strange anomalies -- in Reshi's case, crooked eyes and 12 fingers -- and text created by ChatGPT can have quirks and errors that remind us that AI is not quite human. Reshi spent hours refining prompts and editing text generated for the book, and he rejects the criticism that all he had to do was "hit a button."
A comparison of several AI techniques for authorship attribution on Romanian texts
Avram, Sanda Maria, Oltean, Mihai
Determining the author of a text is a difficult task. Here we compare multiple AI techniques for classifying literary texts written by multiple authors by taking into account a limited number of speech parts (prepositions, adverbs, and conjunctions). We also introduce a new dataset composed of texts written in the Romanian language on which we have run the algorithms. The compared methods are Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Multi Expression Programming, Decision Trees with C5.0, and k-Nearest Neighbour. Numerical experiments show, first of all, that the problem is difficult, but some algorithms are able to generate decent errors on the test set.
REDAffectiveLM: Leveraging Affect Enriched Embedding and Transformer-based Neural Language Model for Readers' Emotion Detection
Kadan, Anoop, P., Deepak, Gangan, Manjary P., Abraham, Savitha Sam, L, Lajish V.
Technological advancements in web platforms allow people to express and share emotions towards textual write-ups written and shared by others. This brings about different interesting domains for analysis; emotion expressed by the writer and emotion elicited from the readers. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for Readers' Emotion Detection from short-text documents using a deep learning model called REDAffectiveLM. Within state-of-the-art NLP tasks, it is well understood that utilizing context-specific representations from transformer-based pre-trained language models helps achieve improved performance. Within this affective computing task, we explore how incorporating affective information can further enhance performance. Towards this, we leverage context-specific and affect enriched representations by using a transformer-based pre-trained language model in tandem with affect enriched Bi-LSTM+Attention. For empirical evaluation, we procure a new dataset REN-20k, besides using RENh-4k and SemEval-2007. We evaluate the performance of our REDAffectiveLM rigorously across these datasets, against a vast set of state-of-the-art baselines, where our model consistently outperforms baselines and obtains statistically significant results. Our results establish that utilizing affect enriched representation along with context-specific representation within a neural architecture can considerably enhance readers' emotion detection. Since the impact of affect enrichment specifically in readers' emotion detection isn't well explored, we conduct a detailed analysis over affect enriched Bi-LSTM+Attention using qualitative and quantitative model behavior evaluation techniques. We observe that compared to conventional semantic embedding, affect enriched embedding increases ability of the network to effectively identify and assign weightage to key terms responsible for readers' emotion detection.
ExClaim: Explainable Neural Claim Verification Using Rationalization
Gurrapu, Sai, Huang, Lifu, Batarseh, Feras A.
With the advent of deep learning, text generation language models have improved dramatically, with text at a similar level as human-written text. This can lead to rampant misinformation because content can now be created cheaply and distributed quickly. Automated claim verification methods exist to validate claims, but they lack foundational data and often use mainstream news as evidence sources that are strongly biased towards a specific agenda. Current claim verification methods use deep neural network models and complex algorithms for a high classification accuracy but it is at the expense of model explainability. The models are black-boxes and their decision-making process and the steps it took to arrive at a final prediction are obfuscated from the user. We introduce a novel claim verification approach, namely: ExClaim, that attempts to provide an explainable claim verification system with foundational evidence. Inspired by the legal system, ExClaim leverages rationalization to provide a verdict for the claim and justifies the verdict through a natural language explanation (rationale) to describe the model's decision-making process. ExClaim treats the verdict classification task as a question-answer problem and achieves a performance of 0.93 F1 score. It provides subtasks explanations to also justify the intermediate outcomes. Statistical and Explainable AI (XAI) evaluations are conducted to ensure valid and trustworthy outcomes. Ensuring claim verification systems are assured, rational, and explainable is an essential step toward improving Human-AI trust and the accessibility of black-box systems.
A Semantic Modular Framework for Events Topic Modeling in Social Media
Moghaddam, Arya Hadizadeh, Momtazi, Saeedeh
The advancement of social media contributes to the growing amount of content they share frequently. This framework provides a sophisticated place for people to report various real-life events. Detecting these events with the help of natural language processing has received researchers' attention, and various algorithms have been developed for this goal. In this paper, we propose a Semantic Modular Model (SMM) consisting of 5 different modules, namely Distributional Denoising Autoencoder, Incremental Clustering, Semantic Denoising, Defragmentation, and Ranking and Processing. The proposed model aims to (1) cluster various documents and ignore the documents that might not contribute to the identification of events, (2) identify more important and descriptive keywords. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, the results show that the proposed model has a higher performance in identifying events with lower ranks and extracting keywords for more important events in three English Twitter datasets: FACup, SuperTuesday, and USElection. The proposed method outperformed the best reported results in the mean keyword-precision metric by 7.9\%.
The Infinite Index: Information Retrieval on Generative Text-To-Image Models
Deckers, Niklas, Fröbe, Maik, Kiesel, Johannes, Pandolfo, Gianluca, Schröder, Christopher, Stein, Benno, Potthast, Martin
Conditional generative models such as DALL-E and Stable Diffusion generate images based on a user-defined text, the prompt. Finding and refining prompts that produce a desired image has become the art of prompt engineering. Generative models do not provide a built-in retrieval model for a user's information need expressed through prompts. In light of an extensive literature review, we reframe prompt engineering for generative models as interactive text-based retrieval on a novel kind of "infinite index". We apply these insights for the first time in a case study on image generation for game design with an expert. Finally, we envision how active learning may help to guide the retrieval of generated images.
