While Transfer learning is already being applied to several NLP tasks, It has the characteristics to excel in a novel number of tasks. We show that detecting Counterfactuals is a straightforward Binary Classification Task that can be implemented with minimal adaptation on already existing model Architectures, thanks to a well annotated training data set,and we introduce a new end to end pipeline to process antecedents and consequents as an entity recognition task, thus adapting them into Token Classification.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.13125v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.13125v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"counterfactual-detection-meets-transfer","repo_url":"https://github.com/Kc2fresh/Extracting-Counterfactual-data","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"binary-classification","task_name":"Binary Classification"},{"task_slug":"counterfactual-detection","task_name":"Counterfactual Detection"},{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"},{"task_slug":"natural-language-understanding","task_name":"Natural Language Understanding"},{"task_slug":"token-classification","task_name":"Token Classification"},{"task_slug":"transfer-learning","task_name":"Transfer Learning"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"counterfactual"},{"task_slug":"token-classification","task_name":"token-classification"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"counterfactuals","method_name":"Counterfactuals"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
