PreDA: Prefix-Based Dream Reports Annotation with Generative Language Models
摘要
Dream reports are recollections of our experiences while asleep, and have strong research and clinical value. Since their analysis can be extremely time-consuming, researchers have adopted multiple types of automatised approaches, including, in more recent years, pre-trained language models (PLMs). However, most work has focused on limited aspects of the report content, such as characters or emotions. In this work, we introduce PreDA (prefix-based dream reports annotation), a framework to build language models able to annotate a dream report for multiple relevant aspects, using generative PLMs. We provide experimental evidence showing how a single PLM of small dimension can efficiently annotate a report on multiple features of the Hall and Van De Castle (HVDC) framework, give a detailed analysis of the model’s performance, and explain how the training data impact learning and generalisation ability of the model.
