State-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models are trained on massive training corpora, and report a superlative performance on evaluation datasets. This survey delves into an important attribute of these datasets: the dialect of a language. Motivated by the performance degradation of NLP...

There are pronounced differences in the extent to which industrial and academic AI labs use computing resources. We provide a data-driven survey of the role of the compute divide in shaping machine learning research. We show that a compute divide has coincided with a reduced representation of...

In this work, we examined how fact-checkers prioritize which claims to inspect for further investigation and publishing, and what tools may assist them in their efforts. Specifically, through a series of interviews with 23 professional fact-checkers from around the world, we validated that harm...
