Neutralizing Subjectivity Bias with HuggingFace Transformers

Abstract: 

The NLP task of text style transfer (TST) aims to automatically control the style attributes of a piece of text while preserving the content, which is an important consideration for making NLP more user-centric. In this session, we will explore text style transfer through an applied use case — neutralizing subjectivity bias in free text. Along the way, we’ll describe our sequence-to-sequence modeling approach leveraging HuggingFace Transformers, and present a set of custom, reference-free evaluation metrics for quantifying model performance. Finally, we’ll conclude with a discussion of ethics centered around our Applied Machine Learning Prototype: Exploring Intelligent Writing Assistance.
