Stereotypical gender actions can be extracted from Web text

Amaç Herdağdelen, Marco Baroni

We extracted gender-specific actions from text corpora and Twitter, and compared them to stereotypical expectations of people. We used Open Mind Common Sense (OMCS), a commonsense…

Cross-Domain Image Captioning with Discriminative Finetuning

Roberto Dessì, Michele Bevilacqua, Eleonora Gualdoni +3

Neural captioners are typically trained to mimic human-generated references without optimizing for any specific communication goal, leading to problems such as the generation of va…

Can discrete information extraction prompts generalize across language models?

Nathanaël Carraz Rakotonirina, Roberto Dessì, Fabio Petroni +2

We study whether automatically-induced prompts that effectively extract information from a language model can also be used, out-of-the-box, to probe other language models for the s…

Referential communication in heterogeneous communities of pre-trained visual deep networks

Matéo Mahaut, Francesca Franzon, Roberto Dessì +1

As large pre-trained image-processing neural networks are being embedded in autonomous agents such as self-driving cars or robots, the question arises of how such systems can commu…

Communication breakdown: On the low mutual intelligibility between human and neural captioning

Roberto Dessì, Eleonora Gualdoni, Francesca Franzon +2

We compare the 0-shot performance of a neural caption-based image retriever when given as input either human-produced captions or captions generated by a neural captioner. We condu…

How BPE Affects Memorization in Transformers

Eugene Kharitonov, Marco Baroni, Dieuwke Hupkes

Training data memorization in NLP can both be beneficial (e.g., closed-book QA) and undesirable (personal data extraction). In any case, successful model training requires a non-tr…
