 Gender parity in computer
science research could
be 100 years away
A new analysis by AI2 of over 3
million computer science papers
reveals that women will not
reach parity with men in
authorship of published CS
research in this century, if
current trends hold.

We introduce COMET, a new
framework for automatic
knowledge base construction that
is frequently capable of
producing novel commonsense
knowledge that human evaluators
deem correct. These positive
results point to future work in
extending the approach to a
variety of other types of
knowledge bases.

HellaSwag is a commonsense
inference challenge dataset that
is trivial for humans but
difficult even for the most
advanced language models. This
approach also suggests a new
path forward for NLP research,
in which benchmarks co-evolve
with the evolving
state-of-the-art in an
adversarial way, so as to
present ever-harder challenges.

We investigate how annotators’
insensitivity to differences in
dialect can lead to racial bias
in automatic hate speech
detection models, potentially
amplifying harm against minority
populations.
