Le message publié par X (ex-Twitter) face à l’enquête française est une manœuvre de désinformation classique doublée d'un aveu (X ne respecte pas la loi) et d'un avertissement (votre droit n'est pas son problème) :

Can We Trust the Judges? This is the question we asked in validating factuality evaluation methods via answer perturbation. Check out the results at the #EvalLLM2025 workshop at #TALN2025

Thanks to the jury members for having evaluated this work: Elena Demidov, Enrico Motta, Serena Villata, @papotti.bsky.social / co supervised with Pasquale Lisena

The final contribution is a rule-based system that again makes use of fine-grained causal relationships between events for explaining fact-checking results. Evaluated on the #FEVEROUS and #AVeriTeC datasets.

Raphaël Troncy @rtroncy.bsky.social · Jun 28

A third contribution is a method that relies on the JoinGT system but incorporates fine-grained causal relationships between events from FARO for generating narratives and stories of events. We demonstrated that qualitatively, the generated summaries are more complete.

Raphaël Troncy @rtroncy.bsky.social · Jun 28

This dataset can then be used to fine-tune language models (RoBERTa and REBEL) to be more effective at detecting fine-grained causal relationships between events in texts.
A demonstrator making use of these models is available at demo.kflow.eurecom.fr

Raphaël Troncy @rtroncy.bsky.social · Jun 28

A second major contribution is the largest dataset containing fine-grained annotations of causal relationships between events (enable, prevent, intend, directly cause). This dataset comes from common sense (ATOMIC), news corpus (CNC) and synthetic #LLM generated data.

Raphaël Troncy @rtroncy.bsky.social · Jun 28

Youssra also investigated how capable #LLMs are for reverse-engineering competency questions and deriving user stories out of formal ontologies. Results demonstrate that recent large models such as GPT4 are effective for general domain.

Raphaël Troncy @rtroncy.bsky.social · Jun 28

A first contribution is the Facts and Events Relationships Ontology (FARO) that harmonizes different models representing event relations. This is available at anr-kflow.github.io/faro/

Tropes, such as "Hidden Motives", are recurring narrative elements used to evoke familiar patterns in communication

Our #COLING paper uncovers that tropes are used in 37% of the social posts debating immigration and vaccination
