AI总结:

本文通过构建涵盖领域特定和非英语数据的基准及评估框架,全面评估 ChatGPT 在因果文本挖掘中的能力,发现其可作为良好起点,但在训练数据充足时仍不及先前模型,且在复杂因果关系、上下文学习和领域适应方面存在明显局限。

摘要:

因果关系是人类认知的基础,并在多个研究领域中受到广泛关注。随着文本数据量的不断增长,识别文本数据中的因果关系变得至关重要,而因果文本挖掘在提取有意义的模式方面发挥着关键作用。本研究对 ChatGPT 的因果文本挖掘能力进行了全面评估。首先,我们引入了一个超越通用英语数据集的基准,包含领域特定数据集和非英语数据集。我们还提供了一个评估框架,以确保 ChatGPT 与先前方法之间的公平比较。最后,我们的分析概述了将 ChatGPT 用于因果文本挖掘的局限性和未来挑战。具体而言,我们的分析表明,ChatGPT 可以作为处理各种数据集的良好起点。然而,当配备足够数量的训练数据时,先前模型的性能仍然优于 ChatGPT。此外,ChatGPT 存在将非因果序列错误识别为因果序列的倾向。这些问题在模型的更高级版本(如 GPT-4)中变得更加明显。此外,我们强调了 ChatGPT 在处理复杂因果关系类型方面的限制,包括句内/句间因果关系和隐式因果关系。该模型在有效利用上下文学习和领域适应方面也面临挑战。我们发布了代码,以支持该领域的进一步研究和发展。

英文摘要:

Causality is fundamental in human cognition and has drawn attention in diverse research fields. With growing volumes of textual data, discerning causalities within text data is crucial, and causal text mining plays a pivotal role in extracting meaningful patterns. This study conducts comprehensive evaluations of ChatGPT's causal text mining capabilities. Firstly, we introduce a benchmark that extends beyond general English datasets, including domain-specific and non-English datasets. We also provide an evaluation framework to ensure fair comparisons between ChatGPT and previous approaches. Finally, our analysis outlines the limitations and future challenges in employing ChatGPT for causal text mining. Specifically, our analysis reveals that ChatGPT serves as a good starting point for various datasets. However, when equipped with a sufficient amount of training data, previous models still surpass ChatGPT's performance. Additionally, ChatGPT suffers from the tendency to falsely recognize non-causal sequences as causal sequences. These issues become even more pronounced with advanced versions of the model, such as GPT-4. In addition, we highlight the constraints of ChatGPT in handling complex causality types, including both intra/inter-sentential and implicit causality. The model also faces challenges with effectively leveraging in-context learning and domain adaptation. We release our code to support further research and development in this field.
