Automatic Document Selection for Efficient Encoder Pretraining

Yukun Feng, Patrick Xia, Benjamin Van Durme +1

Building pretrained language models is considered expensive and data-intensive, but must we increase dataset size to achieve better performance? We propose an alternative to larger…

The GEM Benchmark: Natural Language Generation, its Evaluation and Metrics

Sebastian Gehrmann, Tosin Adewumi, Karmanya Aggarwal +53

We introduce GEM, a living benchmark for natural language Generation (NLG), its Evaluation, and Metrics. Measuring progress in NLG relies on a constantly evolving ecosystem of auto…

SMRT Chatbots: Improving Non-Task-Oriented Dialog with Simulated Multiple Reference Training

Huda Khayrallah, João Sedoc

Non-task-oriented dialog models suffer from poor quality and non-diverse responses. To overcome limited conversational data, we apply Simulated Multiple Reference Training (SMRT; K…

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…

Measuring the `I don't know' Problem through the Lens of Gricean Quantity

Huda Khayrallah, João Sedoc

We consider the intrinsic evaluation of neural generative dialog models through the lens of Grice's Maxims of Conversation (1975). Based on the maxim of Quantity (be informative),…

Incremental Neural Coreference Resolution in Constant Memory

Patrick Xia, João Sedoc, Benjamin Van Durme

We investigate modeling coreference resolution under a fixed memory constraint by extending an incremental clustering algorithm to utilize contextualized encoders and neural compon…
