Exploring Document-Level Literary Machine Translation with Parallel Paragraphs from World Literature

Katherine Thai, Marzena Karpinska, Kalpesh Krishna +4

Literary translation is a culturally significant task, but it is bottlenecked by the small number of qualified literary translators relative to the many untranslated works publishe…

SLING: Sino Linguistic Evaluation of Large Language Models

Yixiao Song, Kalpesh Krishna, Rajesh Bhatt +1

To understand what kinds of linguistic knowledge are encoded by pretrained Chinese language models (LMs), we introduce the benchmark of Sino LINGuistics (SLING), which consists of…

ezCoref: Towards Unifying Annotation Guidelines for Coreference Resolution

Ankita Gupta, Marzena Karpinska, Wenlong Zhao +5

Large-scale, high-quality corpora are critical for advancing research in coreference resolution. However, existing datasets vary in their definition of coreferences and have been c…

RankGen: Improving Text Generation with Large Ranking Models

Kalpesh Krishna, Yapei Chang, John Wieting +1

Given an input sequence (or prefix), modern language models often assign high probabilities to output sequences that are repetitive, incoherent, or irrelevant to the prefix; as suc…

RELIC: Retrieving Evidence for Literary Claims

Katherine Thai, Yapei Chang, Kalpesh Krishna +1

Humanities scholars commonly provide evidence for claims that they make about a work of literature (e.g., a novel) in the form of quotations from the work. We collect a large-scale…

NL-Augmenter: A Framework for Task-Sensitive Natural Language Augmentation

Kaustubh D. Dhole, Varun Gangal, Sebastian Gehrmann +122

Data augmentation is an important component in the robustness evaluation of models in natural language processing (NLP) and in enhancing the diversity of the data they are trained…

Few-shot Controllable Style Transfer for Low-Resource Multilingual Settings

Kalpesh Krishna, Deepak Nathani, Xavier Garcia +2

Style transfer is the task of rewriting a sentence into a target style while approximately preserving content. While most prior literature assumes access to a large style-labelled…

Do Long-Range Language Models Actually Use Long-Range Context?

Simeng Sun, Kalpesh Krishna, Andrew Mattarella-Micke +1

Language models are generally trained on short, truncated input sequences, which limits their ability to use discourse-level information present in long-range context to improve th…

Weakly-Supervised Open-Retrieval Conversational Question Answering

Chen Qu, Liu Yang, Cen Chen +3

Recent studies on Question Answering (QA) and Conversational QA (ConvQA) emphasize the role of retrieval: a system first retrieves evidence from a large collection and then extract…

Hurdles to Progress in Long-form Question Answering

Kalpesh Krishna, Aurko Roy, Mohit Iyyer

The task of long-form question answering (LFQA) involves retrieving documents relevant to a given question and using them to generate a paragraph-length answer. While many models h…

Long Document Summarization in a Low Resource Setting using Pretrained Language Models

Ahsaas Bajaj, Pavitra Dangati, Kalpesh Krishna +7

Abstractive summarization is the task of compressing a long document into a coherent short document while retaining salient information. Modern abstractive summarization methods ar…

Reformulating Unsupervised Style Transfer as Paraphrase Generation

Kalpesh Krishna, John Wieting, Mohit Iyyer

Modern NLP defines the task of style transfer as modifying the style of a given sentence without appreciably changing its semantics, which implies that the outputs of style transfe…
