However, the existing literature predominantly focuses on transductive few-shot node classification, neglecting the widely studied inductive setting in the broader few-shot learning community. This oversight limits our comprehensive understanding of the performance of meta-learning based methods on graph data. In this work, we conduct an empirical study to highlight the limitations of current frameworks in the inductive few-shot node classification setting. Additionally, we propose a simple yet competitive baseline approach specifically tailored for inductive few-shot node classification tasks. We hope our work can provide a new path forward to better understand how the meta-learning paradigm works in the graph domain.","PeriodicalId":336133,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128980725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fans consistently hold high expectations for athletes, anticipating exceptional performances week after week. This ongoing phenomenon sometimes gives rise to highly negative sentiments, with the worst-case scenario involving the occurrence of hate speech. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is widely recognized as one of the most popular sports leagues globally. However, an unfortunate aspect that has emerged in recent years is the presence of abusive fans within the league. Consequently, the focus of this research is to identify which NBA athletes experience abuse on Twitter and delve deeper into the underlying reasons behind such mistreatment. To address the research questions at hand, the study employs a curated set of keywords to query the Twitter API, gathering a comprehensive collection of tweets that potentially contain hate speech directed toward NBA players. A deep learning classification model is implemented, effectively identifying tweets that genuinely exhibit hate speech. We further use keyword search methods to detect the specific groups that are targeted by hate speech the most and identify topics of hate speech tweets. The findings of our research indicate that certain groups of athletes are particularly vulnerable to hate speech from fans. Racism, physique shaming, play style, and anti-LGBTQ remarks are the major themes. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the challenges faced by NBA athletes in the digital space and provide a foundation for developing strategies to combat hate speech and foster a more inclusive environment for all individuals involved in the NBA community.","PeriodicalId":336133,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130605259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversational data is essential in psychology because it can help researchers understand individuals’ cognitive processes, emotions, and behaviors. Utterance labelling is a common strategy for analyzing this type of data. The development of NLP algorithms allows researchers to automate this task. However, psychological conversational data present some challenges to NLP researchers, including multilabel classification, a large number of classes, and limited available data. This study explored how automated labels generated by NLP methods are comparable to human labels in the context of conversations on adulthood transition. We proposed strategies to handle three common challenges raised in psychological studies. Our findings showed that the deep learning method with domain adaptation (RoBERTa-CON) outperformed all other machine learning methods; and the hierarchical labelling system that we proposed was shown to help researchers strategically analyze conversational data.

Administrative data on these youth have the potential to provide insights that can help identify ways to improve their path towards a better life. However, such data also suffer from a variety of biases, from missing data to reflections of systemic inequality. The present work proposes a novel, prescriptive approach to using these data to provide insights about both data biases and the systems and youth they track. Specifically, we develop a novel categorical clustering and cluster summarization methodology that allows us to gain insights into subtle biases in existing data on foster youth, and to provide insight into where further (often qualitative) research is needed to identify potential ways of assisting youth.","PeriodicalId":336133,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125235372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
