  1. Mitigating Human and Computer Opinion Fraud via Contrastive Learning(arXiv)

Author : Yuliya Tukmacheva, Ivan Oseledets, Evgeny Frolov

Abstract : We introduce the novel approach towards fake text reviews detection in collaborative filtering recommender systems. The existing algorithms concentrate on detecting the fake reviews, generated by language models and ignore the texts, written by dishonest users, mostly for monetary gains. We propose the contrastive learning-based architecture, which utilizes the user demographic characteristics, along with the text reviews, as the additional evidence against fakes. This way, we are able to account for two different types of fake reviews spamming and make the recommendation system more robust to biased reviews

2.Facilitating Contrastive Learning of Discourse Relational Senses by Exploiting the Hierarchy of Sense Relations (arXiv)

Author : Wanqiu Long, Bonnie Webber

Abstract : Implicit discourse relation recognition is a challenging task that involves identifying the sense or senses that hold between two adjacent spans of text, in the absence of an explicit connective between them. In both PDTB-2 and PDTB-3, discourse relational senses are organized into a three-level hierarchy ranging from four broad top-level senses, to more specific senses below them. Most previous work on implicit discourse relation recognition have used the sense hierarchy simply to indicate what sense labels were available. Here we do more — incorporating the sense hierarchy into the recognition process itself and using it to select the negative examples used in contrastive learning. With no additional effort, the approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the task.
