Measuring And Comparing Social Bias In Static And Contextual Word Embeddings, Alan Cueva Mora Jan 2022

Measuring And Comparing Social Bias In Static And Contextual Word Embeddings, Alan Cueva Mora

Dissertations

Word embeddings have been considered one of the biggest breakthroughs of deep learning for natural language processing. They are learned numerical vector representations of words where similar words have similar representations. Contextual word embeddings are the promising second-generation of word embeddings assigning a representation to a word based on its context. This can result in different representations for the same word depending on the context (e.g. river bank and commercial bank). There is evidence of social bias (human-like implicit biases based on gender, race, and other social constructs) in word embeddings. While detecting bias in static (classical or non-contextual) word …

Finetuning Bert And Xlnet For Sentiment Analysis Of Stock Market Tweets Using Mixout And Dropout Regularization, Shubham Jangir

Dissertations

Sentiment analysis is also known as Opinion mining or emotional mining which aims to identify the way in which sentiments are expressed in text and written data. Sentiment analysis combines different study areas such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Data Mining, and Text Mining, and is quickly becoming a key concern for businesses and organizations, especially as online commerce data is being used for analysis. Twitter is also becoming a popular microblogging and social networking platform today for information among people as they contribute their opinions, thoughts, and attitudes on social media platforms over the years. Because of the large …


An Evaluation Of Learning Employing Natural Language Processing And Cognitive Load Assessment, Mrunal Tipari Jan 2019

An Evaluation Of Learning Employing Natural Language Processing And Cognitive Load Assessment, Mrunal Tipari

Dissertations

One of the key goals of Pedagogy is to assess learning. Various paradigms exist and one of this is Cognitivism. It essentially sees a human learner as an information processor and the mind as a black box with limited capacity that should be understood and studied. With respect to this, an approach is to employ the construct of cognitive load to assess a learner's experience and in turn design instructions better aligned to the human mind. However, cognitive load assessment is not an easy activity, especially in a traditional classroom setting. This research proposes a novel method for evaluating learning …
