#emnlp2020 tweeting the session on Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP with the following papers:
* Adversarial Semantic Collisions
* Learning Explainable Linguistic Expressions with Neural Inductive Logic Programming for Sentence Classification
>>— Yuval Pinter (@yuvalpi) November 17, 2020
Starting with a short summary of Autoprompt:
Robert Logan presenting. The key is creating prompts for many tasks in an automatic manner in order to check model performance.https://t.co/3Sg5HwNdKg#emnlp2020— Yuval Pinter (@yuvalpi) November 17, 2020
Next, Congheng Song, Adversarial Semantic Collisions.
This is more of an adversarial attack paper than an interpretability. We show several methods for attacking classification models using the notion of collisions.https://t.co/mMoTCqxPyA#emnlp2020— Yuval Pinter (@yuvalpi) November 17, 2020

.@hanjie_chen introducing Learning Variational Word Masks to Improve the Interpretability of Neural Text Classifiers.
We try to improve interpretability of models, showing that performance can improve while maintaining post-hoc explainability.https://t.co/9Nj4zJJxeu#emnlp2020— Yuval Pinter (@yuvalpi) November 17, 2020

#EMNLP2020, Graham, Haddow & Koehn: Statistical Power and Translationese in Machine Translation Evaluation
1) confirmed that using translated texts as source is not good (makes MT easier)
2) confirmed that "human parity" is not really achieved yet

#EMNLP2020 Freitag, Grangier, Caswell: BLEU might be Guilty but References are not Innocent
Automatic evaluation metrics are far from perfect (especially BLEU), but they behave much better if more diverse reference translations are available
— Maja Popović ( @amelija16mp@sigmoid.social ) (@amelija16mp) November 16, 2020
#EMNLP2020 Khayrallah, Thompson, Post, Koehn: "Simulated Multiple Reference Training Improves Low-Resource Machine Translation"
Again, paraphrased sentences are useful, this time for training.
Not really restricted to low-resource setting
