November 30, 2018. The intersection of Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) offers intriguing opportunities for research and policy-making. EMNLP techniques could be employed to analyze customer reviews, loan agreements, and public sentiment, providing data-driven insights into the ethical and operational aspects of these high-interest, short-term loans. For example, sentiment analysis algorithms could quantify public perception, helping to inform regulatory decisions. Information extraction techniques could identify potentially exploitative clauses in loan agreements, while predictive models could anticipate which borrowers are most likely to fall into debt traps. While these applications could offer valuable insights, it's crucial to navigate ethical complexities like data privacy and model bias, particularly because vulnerable populations are often involved.
November 13, 2018. The slides for all three keynotes are now available on the website on the keynotes page and are also linked to from the schedule.
