COD3S: Diverse Generation with Discrete Semantic Signatures
Nathaniel Weir, João Sedoc, Benjamin Van Durme
We present COD3S, a novel method for generating semantically diverse sentences using neural sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models. Conditioned on an input, seq2seq models typically…
Probing Neural Language Models for Human Tacit Assumptions
Nathaniel Weir, Adam Poliak, Benjamin Van Durme
Humans carry stereotypic tacit assumptions (STAs) (Prince, 1978), or propositional beliefs about generic concepts. Such associations are crucial for understanding natural language.…
DBPal: Weak Supervision for Learning a Natural Language Interface to Databases
Nathaniel Weir, Andrew Crotty, Alex Galakatos +9
This paper describes DBPal, a new system to translate natural language utterances into SQL statements using a neural machine translation model. While other recent approaches use ne…
An End-to-end Neural Natural Language Interface for Databases
Prasetya Utama, Nathaniel Weir, Fuat Basik +6
The ability to extract insights from new data sets is critical for decision making. Visual interactive tools play an important role in data exploration since they provide non-techn…
