textless-lib: a Library for Textless Spoken Language Processing
Eugene Kharitonov, Jade Copet, Kushal Lakhotia +8
Textless spoken language processing research aims to extend the applicability of standard NLP toolset onto spoken language and languages with few or no textual resources. In this p…
Can Transformers Jump Around Right in Natural Language? Assessing Performance Transfer from SCAN
Rahma Chaabouni, Roberto Dessì, Eugene Kharitonov
Despite their practical success, modern seq2seq architectures are unable to generalize systematically on several SCAN tasks. Hence, it is not clear if SCAN-style compositional gene…
Interpretable agent communication from scratch (with a generic visual processor emerging on the side)
Roberto Dessì, Eugene Kharitonov, Marco Baroni
As deep networks begin to be deployed as autonomous agents, the issue of how they can communicate with each other becomes important. Here, we train two deep nets from scratch to pe…
The Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2021: Spoken language modelling
Ewan Dunbar, Mathieu Bernard, Nicolas Hamilakis +6
We present the Zero Resource Speech Challenge 2021, which asks participants to learn a language model directly from audio, without any text or labels. The challenge is based on the…
What they do when in doubt: a study of inductive biases in seq2seq learners
Eugene Kharitonov, Rahma Chaabouni
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) learners are widely used, but we still have only limited knowledge about what inductive biases shape the way they generalize. We address that by inve…
Emergent Language Generalization and Acquisition Speed are not tied to Compositionality
Eugene Kharitonov, Marco Baroni
Studies of discrete languages emerging when neural agents communicate to solve a joint task often look for evidence of compositional structure. This stems for the expectation that…
