The Behaviors Of Bert Attention Heads In Stereotype Detection, Joseph H. Hajjar
The Behaviors Of Bert Attention Heads In Stereotype Detection, Joseph H. Hajjar
Dartmouth College Master’s Theses
We are living in the age of information, where it has become increasingly easy to share ideas, news, and content which are seen by an increasingly large number of people. This increasing scope of the increasing amount of data that is being shared lends itself to the question: how can we determine whether what we are reading promotes a stereotype? Previous work has applied transformer based models in this domain yielding impressive performance, but few studies exist interpreting the nature of attention heads in this task. Our work explores the feature encoding and extraction behaviors of attention heads in transformer …
A Machine Learning And Deep Learning Framework For Binary, Ternary, And Multiclass Emotion Classification Of Covid-19 Vaccine-Related Tweets, Aditya Dubey
Honors Scholar Theses
My research mines public emotion toward the Covid-19 vaccine based on Twitter data collected over the past 6-12 months. This project is centered around building and developing machine learning and deep learning models to perform natural language processing of short-form text, which in our case tweets. These tweets are all vaccine-related tweets and the goal of the classification task is for our models to accurately classify a tweet into one of four emotion groups: Apprehension/Anticipation, Sadness/Anger/Frustration, Joy/Humor/Sarcasm, and Gratitude/Relief. Given this data and the goal of the paper, we aim to answer the following questions: (1) Can a framework be …
Risk Gameplay Analysis Using Stochastic Beam Search, Jacob Gillenwater
Risk Gameplay Analysis Using Stochastic Beam Search, Jacob Gillenwater
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Hasbro’s RISK, first published in 1959, is a complex multiplayer strategy game that has received little attention from the scientific community. Training artificial intelligence (AI) agents using stochastic beam search gives insight into effective strategy when playing RISK. A comprehensive analysis of the systems of play challenges preconceptions about good strategy in some areas of the game while reinforcing those preconceptions in others. This study applies stochastic beam search to discover optimal strategies in RISK. Results of the search show both support for and challenges to traditionally held positions about RISK gameplay. While stochastic beam search competently investigates gameplay on …
