1. **[Societal Biases in Language Generation: Progress and Challenges](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sheng-2021-societal-biases-language-generation-progress/)** *(2021 · 252 citations)* Generation systems such as GPT-2, GPT-3 and chat bots interact directly with users. When their outputs are skewed against demographic groups, the harm to marginalized communities can be more immediate than biases hidden inside classification models. Sheng et al. present what they call the first comprehensive survey…
2. **[DEGREE: A Data-Efficient Generation-Based Event Extraction Model](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hsu-2022-degree-data-efficient-generation-based/)** *(2022 · 227 citations)* Annotating events (triggers plus role-labelled arguments) is costly. ACE 2005, for instance, needed two rounds of expert annotation. This makes it hard to extend event extraction (EE) to new domains and event types. DEGREE addresses low-resource, end-to-end EE by recasting it as conditional text generation. The model…
3. **[Towards Controllable Biases in Language Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sheng-2020-controllable-biases-language-generation/)** *(2020 · 166 citations)* The paper addresses societal bias in natural language generation, where model outputs can shape how people perceive demographic groups.
