Cheap Learning: Maximising Performance of Language Models for Social Data Science Using Minimal Data

1 code implementation22 Jan 2024 Leonardo Castro-Gonzalez, Yi-Ling Chung, Hannak Rose Kirk, John Francis, Angus R. Williams, Pica Johansson, Jonathan Bright

These `cheaper' learning techniques hold significant potential for the social sciences, where development of large labelled training datasets is often a significant practical impediment to the use of machine learning for analytical tasks.

DoDo Learning: DOmain-DemOgraphic Transfer in Language Models for Detecting Abuse Targeted at Public Figures

We find that (i) small amounts of diverse data are hugely beneficial to generalisation and model adaptation; (ii) models transfer more easily across demographics but models trained on cross-domain data are more generalisable; (iii) some groups contribute more to generalisability than others; and (iv) dataset similarity is a signal of transferability.
