  • Explanations in NLP, including model interpretability and local explanations, are part of the course content
  • Several papers related to Natural Language Inference (NLI) explore different aspects of understanding text and generating explanations
  • Studies investigate the reliability and effectiveness of explanations in textual reasoning and word problem solving
  • Research on Question Answering (QA) covers topics such as machine comprehension, adversarial evaluation, open-domain QA, and multi-hop QA
  • Dialogue systems, including chatbots, are explored for task-oriented dialogues and context-sensitive responses
  • Machine Translation (MT) research delves into word alignment, neural models, and pre-trained approaches
  • Summarization research covers extractive and pre-trained methods for generating factual summaries
  • Multilingual studies include cross-lingual tagging, pre-training, and word embeddings for multilingual transfer learning
  • Language grounding research focuses on connecting language to real-world concepts and vision
  • Ethical considerations in Natural Language Processing (NLP) span areas like bias mitigation, exclusion, dangers of automation, and ethical use guidelines
