Sarcasm can radically alter or invert a phrase's meaning.Sarcasm detection therefore help improve natural language processing (NLP) tasks.The majority of prior research has modeled sarcasm as classification, with two important limitations: 1. Balanced datasets, when is actually rather rare.2. Using Twitter users' self-declarations in the form hashtags to label data, take many forms.To address these issues, we create an unbalanced corpus manually annotated conversations.We compare human and...
Over the last several years, end-to-end neural conversational agents have vastly improved in their ability to carry a chit-chat conversation with humans. However, these models are often trained on large datasets from internet, and as result, may learn undesirable behaviors this data, such toxic or otherwise harmful language. Researchers must thus wrestle issue of how when release models. In paper, we survey problem landscape for safety AI discuss recent related work. We highlight tensions...
We present the first English corpus study on abusive language towards three conversational AI systems gathered 'in wild': an open-domain social bot, a rule-based chatbot, and task-based system. To account for complexity of task, we take more 'nuanced' approach where our ConvAI dataset reflects fine-grained notions abuse, as well views from multiple expert annotators. find that distribution abuse is vastly different compared to other commonly used datasets, with sexually tinted aggression...

Technology companies have produced varied responses to concerns about the effects of design their conversational AI systems. Some claimed that voice assistants are in fact not gendered or human-like—despite features suggesting contrary. We compare these claims user perceptions by analysing pronouns they use when referring assistants. also examine systems' and extent which generate output is anthropomorphic. find that, while some appear be addressing ethical raised, cases, do seem hold true....
Nephro-ureterectomy is the standard treatment for transitional carcinoma of renal pelvis and caliceal system. In recent years a modification conventional two-incision technique has been described in which intramural ureter resected endoscopically remaining removed continuity with kidney through single loin incision. Twenty-one patients had their pelvic tumours treated by this modified between 1970 1983. Of 16 available analysis, 37.5% subsequently developed bladder tumours. It was concluded...
It has been suggested that guanethidine can release and then deplete postganglionic sympathetic nerve endings of noradrenaline. However, no noradrenaline from or the adrenal medulla by was found direct experiment. Although in response to stimulation rapidly reduced finally abolished guanethidine, drug did not appear affect catechol amines splanchnic stimulation. The nature action is discussed, it concluded blocks effect interfering with synthesis transmitter also a sympathomimetic effect.
Automated dialogue or conversational systems are anthropomorphised by developers and personified users. While a degree of anthropomorphism is inevitable, conscious unconscious design choices can guide users to personify them varying degrees. Encouraging relate automated as if they were human lead transparency trust issues, high risk scenarios caused over-reliance on their outputs. As result, natural language processing researchers have investigated the factors that induce personification...
Ureterolysis in a patient with ureteric obstruction due to peri-aneurysmal fibrosis is described. The had previously undergone nephrectomy for renal clear cell carcinoma. He has remained good health year after ureterolysis. Six reported surgically treated cases are reviewed. appears be an effective form of treatment this unusual peri-ureteric fibrosis.
Large language models (LLMs) reflect societal norms and biases, especially about gender. While biases stereotypes have been extensively researched in various NLP applications, there is a surprising gap for emotion analysis. However, gender are closely linked discourse. E.g., women often thought of as more empathetic, while men's anger socially accepted. To fill this gap, we present the first comprehensive study gendered attribution five state-of-the-art LLMs (open- closed-source). We...
This paper introduces a collaborative, human-centered taxonomy of AI, algorithmic and automation harms. We argue that existing taxonomies, while valuable, can be narrow, unclear, typically cater to practitioners government, often overlook the needs wider public. Drawing on taxonomies large repository documented incidents, we propose is clear understandable broad set audiences, as well being flexible, extensible, interoperable. Through iterative refinement with topic experts crowdsourced...
Counterspeech offers direct rebuttals to hateful speech by challenging perpetrators of hate and showing support targets abuse. It provides a promising alternative more contentious measures, such as content moderation deplatforming, contributing greater amount positive online rather than attempting mitigate harmful through removal. Advances in the development large language models mean that process producing counterspeech could be made efficient automating its generation, which would enable...
Abstract Parliamentary and legislative debate transcripts provide access to information concerning the opinions, positions, policy preferences of elected politicians. They attract attention from researchers a wide variety backgrounds, political social sciences computer science. As result, problem computational sentiment position-taking analysis has been tackled different perspectives, using varying approaches methods, with relatively little collaboration or cross-pollination ideas. The...
Summary— A series of 27 patients with measurable metastases from primary carcinoma the bladder received cis‐platinum 50 mg/m 2 /3‐weekly. Twenty‐six per cent (32% if receiving only one injection are excluded) responded for a median 4 months.
The first account of transverse preputial island flap neo-urethroplasty was given in 1978 by Duckett (unpublished material) from Philadelphia to this association. procedure, commonly known as the operation, is for repair hypospadias boys whose urethral defect too long them be treated meatal advancement and glanduloplasty, also described 1980. These 2 operations leave only a very small number hypospadiacs with so that more complicated surgery needed. Acquired defects can repaired using...
Commercialisation of augmented reality (AR) devices has led to their growing application in domestic environments and leisure activities. One such domain is that television, where AR one several technologies driving innovation (c.f. Internet broadcasting, second screen devices). We conduct a systematic literature review quantify research at the intersection broadcast television. identify six common themes set cross-cutting design decisions. distill this information into space incorporating...
