Evaluating Embeddings for One-Shot Classification of Doctor-AI Consultations

Effective communication between healthcare providers and patients is crucial to providing high-quality patient care. In this work, we investigate how Doctor-written and AI-generated texts in healthcare consultations can be classified using state-of-the-art embeddings and one-shot classification systems. By analyzing embeddings such as bag-of-words, character n-grams, Word2Vec, GloVe, fastText, and GPT2 embeddings, we examine how well our one-shot classification systems capture semantic information within medical consultations. Results show that the embeddings are capable of capturing semantic features from text in a reliable and adaptable manner. Overall, Word2Vec, GloVe and Character n-grams embeddings performed well, indicating their suitability for modeling targeted to this task. GPT2 embedding also shows notable performance, indicating its suitability for models tailored to this task as well. Our machine learning architectures significantly improved the quality of health conversations when training data are scarce, improving communication between patients and healthcare providers.

MedAI Dialog Corpus (MEDIC): Zero-Shot Classification of Doctor and AI Responses in Health Consultations

Zero-shot classification enables text to be classified into classes not seen during training. In this research, we investigate the effectiveness of pre-trained language models to accurately classify responses from Doctors and AI in health consultations through zero-shot learning. Our study aims to determine whether these models can effectively detect if a text originates from human or AI models without specific corpus training. We collect responses from doctors to patient inquiries about their health and pose the same question/response to AI models. While zero-shot language models show a good understanding of language in general, they have limitations in classifying doctor and AI responses in healthcare consultations. This research lays the groundwork for further research into this field of medical text classification, informing the development of more effective approaches to accurately classify doctor-generated and AI-generated text in health consultations.

Legend at ArAIEval Shared Task: Persuasion Technique Detection using a Language-Agnostic Text Representation Model

In this paper, we share our best performing submission to the Arabic AI Tasks Evaluation Challenge (ArAIEval) at ArabicNLP 2023. Our focus was on Task 1, which involves identifying persuasion techniques in excerpts from tweets and news articles. The persuasion technique in Arabic texts was detected using a training loop with XLM-RoBERTa, a language-agnostic text representation model. This approach proved to be potent, leveraging fine-tuning of a multilingual language model. In our evaluation of the test set, we achieved a micro F1 score of 0.64 for subtask A of the competition.

Transformer-based approaches to Sentiment Detection

The use of transfer learning methods is largely responsible for the present breakthrough in Natural Learning Processing (NLP) tasks across multiple domains. In order to solve the problem of sentiment detection, we examined the performance of four different types of well-known state-of-the-art transformer models for text classification. Models such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Robustly Optimized BERT Pre-training Approach (RoBERTa), a distilled version of BERT (DistilBERT), and a large bidirectional neural network architecture (XLNet) were proposed. The performance of the four models that were used to detect disaster in the text was compared. All the models performed well enough, indicating that transformer-based models are suitable for the detection of disaster in text. The RoBERTa transformer model performs best on the test dataset with a score of 82.6% and is highly recommended for quality predictions. Furthermore, we discovered that the learning algorithms' performance was influenced by the pre-processing techniques, the nature of words in the vocabulary, unbalanced labeling, and the model parameters.
