Survey proposes unified framework for NLP diversity quantification

A new survey paper published on arXiv examines the quantification of diversity in natural language processing (NLP) research. The paper proposes a unified NLP-specific framework by drawing on existing cross-domain theories, distinguishing between why diversity is important, what aspects are measured, where it's measured, and how. The analysis of over 300 recent NLP papers reveals that 'richness' and 'distance averaging' are the most common diversity measures, while pure 'balance' measures are rare, and many existing measures do not align with established theoretical frameworks. AI

IMPACT Aims to standardize diversity measurement in NLP, potentially improving model fairness and robustness.

    A survey of diversity quantification in natural language processing: The why, what, where and how

    arXiv:2507.20858v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The concept of diversity received increasing attention in natural language processing (NLP) in recent years. It became an advocated property of datasets and systems, with many measures used to quantify it, but also many cross-pa…
