Distant finetuning with discourse relations for stance classification
Lifeng Jin, Kun Xu, Linfeng Song +1
Approaches for the stance classification task, an important task for understanding argumentation in debates and detecting fake news, have been relying on models which deal with ind…
Exophoric Pronoun Resolution in Dialogues with Topic Regularization
Xintong Yu, Hongming Zhang, Yangqiu Song +3
Resolving pronouns to their referents has long been studied as a fundamental natural language understanding problem. Previous works on pronoun coreference resolution (PCR) mostly f…
CSAGN: Conversational Structure Aware Graph Network for Conversational Semantic Role Labeling
Han Wu, Kun Xu, Linqi Song
Conversational semantic role labeling (CSRL) is believed to be a crucial step towards dialogue understanding. However, it remains a major challenge for existing CSRL parser to hand…
DyLex: Incorporating Dynamic Lexicons into BERT for Sequence Labeling
Baojun Wang, Zhao Zhang, Kun Xu +7
Incorporating lexical knowledge into deep learning models has been proved to be very effective for sequence labeling tasks. However, previous works commonly have difficulty dealing…
Domain-Adaptive Pretraining Methods for Dialogue Understanding
Han Wu, Kun Xu, Linfeng Song +3
Language models like BERT and SpanBERT pretrained on open-domain data have obtained impressive gains on various NLP tasks. In this paper, we probe the effectiveness of domain-adapt…
Joint Coreference Resolution and Character Linking for Multiparty Conversation
Jiaxin Bai, Hongming Zhang, Yangqiu Song +1
Character linking, the task of linking mentioned people in conversations to the real world, is crucial for understanding the conversations. For the efficiency of communication, hum…
Coordinated Reasoning for Cross-Lingual Knowledge Graph Alignment
Kun Xu, Linfeng Song, Yansong Feng +2
Existing entity alignment methods mainly vary on the choices of encoding the knowledge graph, but they typically use the same decoding method, which independently chooses the local…
Multiplex Word Embeddings for Selectional Preference Acquisition
Hongming Zhang, Jiaxin Bai, Yan Song +5
Conventional word embeddings represent words with fixed vectors, which are usually trained based on co-occurrence patterns among words. In doing so, however, the power of such repr…
DurIAN: Duration Informed Attention Network For Multimodal Synthesis
Chengzhu Yu, Heng Lu, Na Hu +9
In this paper, we present a generic and robust multimodal synthesis system that produces highly natural speech and facial expression simultaneously. The key component of this syste…
Multi-Granular Text Encoding for Self-Explaining Categorization
Zhiguo Wang, Yue Zhang, Mo Yu +5
Self-explaining text categorization requires a classifier to make a prediction along with supporting evidence. A popular type of evidence is sub-sequences extracted from the input…
Cross-lingual Knowledge Graph Alignment via Graph Matching Neural Network
Kun Xu, Liwei Wang, Mo Yu +4
Previous cross-lingual knowledge graph (KG) alignment studies rely on entity embeddings derived only from monolingual KG structural information, which may fail at matching entities…
