Stereotypes And Language Models: Understanding How Language Models Encode Stereotypes, Debiasing Language Models, And Examining How Stereotypes Affect Conversations, Brian C. Wang
Computer Science Senior Theses
This thesis describes a variety of approaches in examining how language models encode stereotypes (understanding stereotypes from a model point-of-view), debiasing language models, and using language models to understand how stereotypes affect conversations (understanding stereotypes from a conversational point-of-view). We present a novel approach for textual clues analysis that makes language models more interpretable, combining the understanding of what stereotypes the internal structures of language models have encoded during their initial training (via attention-based analysis) and understanding what textual clues are most relevant to identifying stereotypes for models trained to detect stereotypes (via SHAP-based analysis). We find that different pre-trained …
Data-Optimized Spatial Field Predictions For Robotic Adaptive Sampling: A Gaussian Process Approach, Zachary Nathan
Data-Optimized Spatial Field Predictions For Robotic Adaptive Sampling: A Gaussian Process Approach, Zachary Nathan
Computer Science Senior Theses
We introduce a framework that combines Gaussian Process models, robotic sensor measurements, and sampling data to predict spatial fields. In this context, a spatial field refers to the distribution of a variable throughout a specific area, such as temperature or pH variations over the surface of a lake. Whereas existing methods tend to analyze only the particular field(s) of interest, our approach optimizes predictions through the effective use of all available data. We validated our framework on several datasets, showing that errors can decline by up to two-thirds through the inclusion of additional colocated measurements. In support of adaptive sampling, …
Leveraging Context Patterns For Medical Entity Classification, Garrett Johnston
Leveraging Context Patterns For Medical Entity Classification, Garrett Johnston
Computer Science Senior Theses
The ability of patients to understand health-related text is important for optimal health outcomes. A system that can automatically annotate medical entities could help patients better understand health-related text. Such a system would also accelerate manual data annotation for this low-resource domain as well as assist in down- stream medical NLP tasks such as finding textual similarity, identifying conflicting medical advice, and aspect-based sentiment analysis. In this work, we investigate a state-of-the-art entity set expansion model, BootstrapNet, for the task of medical entity classification on a new dataset of medical advice text. We also propose EP SBERT, a simple model …
Exploring The Use Of Social Media To Infer Relationships Between Demographics, Psychographics And Vaccine Hesitancy, Abhimanyu Kapur
Exploring The Use Of Social Media To Infer Relationships Between Demographics, Psychographics And Vaccine Hesitancy, Abhimanyu Kapur
Computer Science Senior Theses
The growing popularity of social media as a platform to obtain information and share one's opinions on various topics makes it a rich source of information for research. In this study, we aimed to develop a framework to infer relationships between demographic and psychographic characteristics of a user and their opinion on a specific narrative - in this case, their stance on taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Twitter was the chosen platform due to the large USA user base and easily available data. Demographic traits included Race, Age, Gender, and Human-vs-Organization Status. Psychographic traits included the Big Five personality traits (Conscientiousness, …
