Evaluation Metrics

Accuracy

Since our task is multi-label classification, we define this as the dot product of true and predicted labels divided by the number of labels. This depicts the alignment of model’s predictions with the ground truth. It is the sum of true positive and true negative minus false positive and false negative predictions while ignoring the UNSURE predictions. We reward the model for a correct prediction, penalize for an incorrect prediction, and do not reward or penalize an UNSURE prediction. The higher the dot product, the better the model’s performance.

Precision

Proportion of predicted REJECT statements that were correctly predicted. This drops significantly if the false positive rate increases. We prefer a high precision in identifying spam. Defined as \(\frac{TP}{TP + FP}\).

Unsure Rate

Measure of how often the model selects UNSURE instead of rendering a decision. We prefer this over false positives.

False Positive Rate

Measure of a model’s rate of falsely rejecting a statement. We prefer false negatives in identifying spam, since there is more harm done by falsely rejecting a legitimate statement than by inadvertently allowing a spam statement. Lower is better.

Results

In the first four experiments, we used a simple technique that starts with classifying each comment as ACCEPT, UNSURE or REJECT. In the next four, we classified among multiple options and introduce more complex reasoning techniques.

Overall, use of examples slightly improved results. Switching to a multi-label classification technique caused significant improvement. Chain of thought reasoning saw a decline in accuracy but made the model less certain about its predictions, which allows for more nuanced decision making.

Configuration 1: Baseline Model

We have the model classify the comments based on given instructions. We do not provide any examples or reasoning techniques. When the model rejects a comment, we ask it to select a reason from SPAM or COMPLEX.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[0], title=f"Baseline: {DATASET}")

    Accuracy:   0.6947
    Precision:  0.5802
    Recall:     0.1649
    F1:     0.2568
    UnsureRate: 0.0056
    FPR:    0.0561
    

Configuration 2: Adding Examples

We add a set of examples to the language model context before asking it to classify the comments.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[1])

    Accuracy:   0.6944
    Precision:  0.48
    Recall:     0.0462
    F1:     0.0842
    UnsureRate: 0.0469
    FPR:    0.0219
    

Configuration 3: Second-Thought Reasoning

Here, we introduce a second-thought reasoning technique. We do not provide examples to the language model, but if it rejects a comment, we ask it for a reason and then allow it to change the decision from REJECT to UNSURE.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[2])

    Accuracy:   0.6922
    Precision:  0.5965
    Recall:     0.125
    F1:     0.2067
    UnsureRate: 0.0536
    FPR:    0.0399
    

Configuration 4: Second-Thought Reasoning and Examples

In this experiment, we enable examples and also use the second-thought reasoning technique.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[3])

    Accuracy:   0.6943
    Precision:  0.5263
    Recall:     0.1132
    F1:     0.1863
    UnsureRate: 0.0435
    FPR:    0.0456
    

Configuration 5: Multi-Label Classification

We introduce a multi-label classification task, where the model can classify a comment as ACCEPT, UNSURE, SPAM, IRRELEVANT, UNPROFESSIONAL, SCOPE or COMPLEX. We provide it a set of instructions that describe each label, and also specify an output format to have the model follow the instructions more closely.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[4], title=f"Multi-Label Classification: {DATASET}")

    Accuracy:   0.6951
    Precision:  0.6765
    Recall:     0.0821
    F1:     0.1465
    UnsureRate: 0.019
    FPR:    0.0184
    

Configuration 6: Multi-Label Classification with Thought Statement

In this experiment, we use chain-of-thought reasoning ask the model for its thought on each comment before classifying it. While this is siginificantly slower, it allows the model to deliberate on each comment before making a decision.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[5], title=f"Thought Statement: {DATASET}")

    Accuracy:   0.6944
    Precision:  0.64
    Recall:     0.0582
    F1:     0.1067
    UnsureRate: 0.0212
    FPR:    0.015
    

Configuration 7: Deconstructing Comments in Multi-Label Classification

Deconstructing each comment into its requisite components might further help improve the analysis and evaluation abilities of the model. While we do not care about the accuracy or agreeability of the posted comments, we do expect either a problem or a potential solution. Also, we want the comment to present a single idea.

In this experiment, introduce a reasoning technique that asks the model for the requisite components of each comment. We ask for the problem identified by the comment, the proposed solution, and the number of ideas introduced by a comment. If neither a relevant problem nor a solution is present, the comment is considered spam. If it introduces more than one idea, we consider it COMPLEX.

After deconstructing the comment, we then ask the model for its thought before making a decision based on whether the comment adds value to the conversation. In this case, we introduce a multi-label classification task, where the model can classify a comment as ACCEPT, UNSURE, SPAM, IRRELEVANT, UNPROFESSIONAL, SCOPE or COMPLEX.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[6], title=f"Comment Deconstruction and Thought Statement: {DATASET}")

    Accuracy:   0.7026
    Precision:  0.7368
    Recall:     0.1
    F1:     0.1761
    UnsureRate: 0.0167
    FPR:    0.0166
    

Configuration 8: Multi-Label Classification with Comment Deconstruction and No Thought Statement

We remove the thought statement and only use the deconstruction technique from the previous experiment to study its effect.

plot_dataset(comments, moderationResults[7], title=f"Comment Deconstruction: {DATASET}")

    Accuracy:   0.7001
    Precision:  0.6538
    Recall:     0.0634
    F1:     0.1156
    UnsureRate: 0.0324
    FPR:    0.015
