AI总结:

本研究从作者和发表渠道层面梳理NLP社会公益(NLP4SG)研究图景,发现ACL作者更倾向在非ACL venues发表公益研究,且多数NLP4SG论文由非ACL作者在非ACL venues发表,为ACL社区相关议程设置提供参考。

摘要:

自然语言处理(NLP)的社会影响日益重要,学界对NLP社会公益(NLP for Social Good, NLP4SG)相关倡议的关注度持续上升。事实上,近年来ACL文集中近20%的论文涉及联合国可持续发展目标所定义的社会公益相关主题(Adauto等人,2023)。本研究从作者和会议/期刊层面描绘NLP4SG的研究图景,量化ACL社区内外、由ACL核心贡献者与非ACL作者开展的社会公益相关研究的占比。通过该方法,我们发现了NLP4SG研究领域两个出人意料的事实:第一,ACL作者在ACL以外的 venues 发表论文时,开展社会公益相关研究的概率显著更高;第二,绝大多数运用NLP技术解决社会公益问题的论文,是由非ACL作者在ACL以外的 venues 发表的。我们讨论了这些发现对ACL社区制定NLP4SG相关议程的启示。

英文摘要:

The social impact of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is increasingly important, with a rising community focus on initiatives related to NLP for Social Good (NLP4SG). Indeed, in recent years, almost 20% of all papers in the ACL Anthology address topics related to social good as defined by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Adauto et al., 2023). In this study, we take an author- and venue-level perspective to map the landscape of NLP4SG, quantifying the proportion of work addressing social good concerns both within and beyond the ACL community, by both core ACL contributors and non-ACL authors. With this approach we discover two surprising facts about the landscape of NLP4SG. First, ACL authors are dramatically more likely to do work addressing social good concerns when publishing in venues outside of ACL. Second, the vast majority of publications using NLP techniques to address concerns of social good are done by non-ACL authors in venues outside of ACL. We discuss the implications of these findings on agenda-setting considerations for the ACL community related to NLP4SG.
