Multihop Factual Claim Verification Using Natural Language Prompts

CanAI 2023

This research aims to develop a strategy for claim verification using evidence sentences by employing prompt-based fine-tuning of state-of-the-art pre-trained language models. The study also focuses on designing effective language prompts for this task and investigates the increased complexity of claim validation when multiple evidence sentences are involved.

Explainable artificial intelligence model for stroke prediction using EEG signal

Sensors

This study employs an explainable machine learning approach to predict stroke in patients using biomarker data derived from EEG signals.

An efficient approach to automatic tag prediction from movie plot synopses using transformer-based language model

ICCIT 2022

This study aims to improve the prediction of movie tags from plot summaries by evaluating and comparing the performance of various models, including vanilla neural networks, LSTMs, and several pre-trained transformer-based language models.

BanglaRQA: A Benchmark Dataset for Under-resourced Bangla Language Reading Comprehension-based Question Answering with Diverse Question-Answer Types

EMNLP 2022

This paper introduces a novel reading comprehension-based question-answer dataset containing 3000 Bangla Wikipedia context passages and 14,889 question-answer pairs. The experiments in this work also improve the performance of a pre-trained transformer model, as evidenced by higher EM (exact match) and F1 scores when compared to previous work on other comparable Bangla datasets.
