NormCo: Deep Disease Normalization for Biomedical Knowledge Base Construction
Dustin Wright, Yannis Katsis, Raghav Mehta, Chun-Nan Hsu
Published in Automated Knowledge Base Construction, 2019
We develop a lightweight model for performing disease name normalization utilizing pretrained word-embeddings, distant supervision, and a dictionary of disease terms to outperform state of the art on disease name normalization on two datasets. AKBC 2019 Best Application Paper

Challenges in the construction of knowledge bases for human microbiome-disease associations
Varsha Dave Badal, Dustin Wright, Yannis Katsis, Ho-Cheol Kim, Austin D Swafford, Rob Knight, Chun-Nan Hsu
Published in Microbiome, 2019
We describe and highlight challenges in the construction of knowledge bases for human microbiome-disease associations, surveying relevant literature and providing recommendations for KB construction in this domain going forward.

Claim Check-Worthiness Detection as Positive Unlabelled Learning
Dustin Wright and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in Findings of EMNLP, 2020
We show that when performing the task of claim check-worthiness detection, positive-unlabelled learning helps across multiple domains. Additionally, we highlight key similarities and differences in check-worthiness detection datasets.

Generating Label Cohesive and Well-Formed Adversarial Claims
Pepa Atanasova* and Dustin Wright* and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in EMNLP, 2020
We propose a novel method using universal adversarial triggers and GPT-2 to generate difficult adversarial claims for fact checking models which preserve label direction and are semantically coherent, showing that such generated claims easily fool fact checking models.
Transformer Based Multi-Source Domain Adaptation
Dustin Wright and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in EMNLP, 2020
We demonstrate that when using large pretrained transformer models, mixture of experts methods can lead to significant gains in domain adaptation settings while domain adversarial training does not. We provide evidence that such models are relatively robust across domains, making homogenous predictions despite being fine-tuned on different domains.

CiteWorth: Cite-Worthiness Detection for Improved Scientific Document Understanding
Dustin Wright and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in Findings of ACL, 2021
We introduce the CiteWorth dataset for cite-worthiness detection, provide several strong baselines for the task, and demontrate downstream usefulness of pre-training on cite-worthiness detection.

Semi-Supervised Exaggeration Detection of Health Science Press Releases
Dustin Wright and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in EMNLP, 2021
We formalize and introduce a test set for exaggeration detection of health science, and propose MT-PET, an extension of Pattern Exploiting Training, to perform the task in a few-shot setting.

Modeling Information Change in Science Communication with Semantically Matched Paraphrases
Dustin Wright*, Jiaxin Pei*, David Jurgens, and Isabelle Augenstein
Published in EMNLP, 2022
We develop a new dataset and models for measuring information change in science communication, providing improved performance on scientific evidence retrieval and several large scale analyses of science communication.
