Zero-shot Triplet Extraction by Template Infilling
Bosung Kim, Hayate Iso, Nikita Bhutani +3
The task of triplet extraction aims to extract pairs of entities and their corresponding relations from unstructured text. Most existing methods train an extraction model on traini…
Medical Question Understanding and Answering with Knowledge Grounding and Semantic Self-Supervision
Khalil Mrini, Harpreet Singh, Franck Dernoncourt +5
Current medical question answering systems have difficulty processing long, detailed and informally worded questions submitted by patients, called Consumer Health Questions (CHQs).…
A Grounded Well-being Conversational Agent with Multiple Interaction Modes: Preliminary Results
Xinxin Yan, Ndapa Nakashole
Technologies for enhancing well-being, healthcare vigilance and monitoring are on the rise. However, despite patient interest, such technologies suffer from low adoption. One hypot…
Extracting the Unknown from Long Math Problems
Ndapa Nakashole
In problem solving, understanding the problem that one seeks to solve is an essential initial step. In this paper, we propose computational methods for facilitating problem underst…
Rethinking Self-Attention: Towards Interpretability in Neural Parsing
Khalil Mrini, Franck Dernoncourt, Quan Tran +3
Attention mechanisms have improved the performance of NLP tasks while allowing models to remain explainable. Self-attention is currently widely used, however interpretability is di…
Fine-Grained Spoiler Detection from Large-Scale Review Corpora
Mengting Wan, Rishabh Misra, Ndapa Nakashole +1
This paper presents computational approaches for automatically detecting critical plot twists in reviews of media products. First, we created a large-scale book review dataset that…
Sense Perception Common Sense Relationships
Ndapa Nakashole
Often missing in existing knowledge bases of facts, are relationships that encode common sense knowledge about unnamed entities. In this paper, we propose to extract novel, common…
Unnamed Entity Recognition of Sense Mentions
Ndapa Nakashole
We consider the problem of recognizing mentions of human senses in text. Our contribution is a method for acquiring labeled data, and a learning method that is trained on this data…
Bilingual Dictionary Induction for Bantu Languages
Ndapa Nakashole
We present a method for learning bilingual translation dictionaries between English and Bantu languages. We show that exploiting the grammatical structure common to Bantu languages…
Characterizing Departures from Linearity in Word Translation
Ndapa Nakashole, Raphael Flauger
We investigate the behavior of maps learned by machine translation methods. The maps translate words by projecting between word embedding spaces of different languages. We locally…
Bootstrapping Ternary Relation Extractors
Ndapandula Nakashole
Binary relation extraction methods have been widely studied in recent years. However, few methods have been developed for higher n-ary relation extraction. One limiting factor is t…
