Cultivar: A Contrastive and Locale-Oriented Translation Benchmark for Investigating Contamination and Localisation Robustness

Pinzhen Chen, Koel Dutta Chowdhury, Xiaoya Xu +20

Multilingual translation benchmarks are typically sourced in English and translated into other languages, treating language pairs as the unit of evaluation---a design that is prone…

Debiasing Without Protected Attributes: Latent Concept Erasure from Textual Profiles

Shun Shao, Zheng Zhao, Anna Korhonen +2

Most fairness research in NLP assumes direct access to protected attributes such as gender, race, or nationality. In practice, however, such information is often unavailable due to…

Beyond Soft Masks: Hard-Perturbation Mixup Explainer for Robust GNN Explainability

Jialiang Yin, Zheng Zhao, Linsey Pang +3

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across a range of applications involving graph-structured data, particularly in high-stakes domains. However,…

Summarization is Not Dead Yet

Dongqi Liu, Chenxi Whitehouse, Zheng Zhao +3

The progress of large language models (LLMs) has fueled claims that model-generated summaries rival or even surpass human-written references, raising questions about whether summar…

Enhancing Contextual Understanding in Large Language Models through Contrastive Decoding

Zheng Zhao, Emilio Monti, Jens Lehmann +1

Large language models (LLMs) tend to inadequately integrate input context during text generation, relying excessively on encoded prior knowledge in model parameters, potentially re…

Spectral Editing of Activations for Large Language Model Alignment

Yifu Qiu, Zheng Zhao, Yftah Ziser +3

Large language models (LLMs) often exhibit undesirable behaviours, such as generating untruthful or biased content. Editing their internal representations has been shown to be effe…

Are Large Language Models Temporally Grounded?

Yifu Qiu, Zheng Zhao, Yftah Ziser +3

Are Large language models (LLMs) temporally grounded? Since LLMs cannot perceive and interact with the environment, it is impossible to answer this question directly. Instead, we p…

A Joint Matrix Factorization Analysis of Multilingual Representations

Zheng Zhao, Yftah Ziser, Bonnie Webber +1

We present an analysis tool based on joint matrix factorization for comparing latent representations of multilingual and monolingual models. An alternative to probing, this tool al…

PMIndiaSum: Multilingual and Cross-lingual Headline Summarization for Languages in India

Ashok Urlana, Pinzhen Chen, Zheng Zhao +3

This paper introduces PMIndiaSum, a multilingual and massively parallel summarization corpus focused on languages in India. Our corpus provides a training and testing ground for fo…

Understanding Domain Learning in Language Models Through Subpopulation Analysis

Zheng Zhao, Yftah Ziser, Shay B. Cohen

We investigate how different domains are encoded in modern neural network architectures. We analyze the relationship between natural language domains, model size, and the amount of…

To Adapt or to Fine-tune: A Case Study on Abstractive Summarization

Zheng Zhao, Pinzhen Chen

Recent advances in the field of abstractive summarization leverage pre-trained language models rather than train a model from scratch. However, such models are sluggish to train an…

A Unified Model for Reverse Dictionary and Definition Modelling

Pinzhen Chen, Zheng Zhao

We build a dual-way neural dictionary to retrieve words given definitions, and produce definitions for queried words. The model learns the two tasks simultaneously and handles unkn…

Revisiting Shallow Discourse Parsing in the PDTB-3: Handling Intra-sentential Implicits

Zheng Zhao, Bonnie Webber

In the PDTB-3, several thousand implicit discourse relations were newly annotated \textit{within} individual sentences, adding to the over 15,000 implicit relations annotated \text…

Extending Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition to the PDTB-3

Li Liang, Zheng Zhao, Bonnie Webber

The PDTB-3 contains many more Implicit discourse relations than the previous PDTB-2. This is in part because implicit relations have now been annotated within sentences as well as…

Reducing Quantity Hallucinations in Abstractive Summarization

Zheng Zhao, Shay B. Cohen, Bonnie Webber

It is well-known that abstractive summaries are subject to hallucination---including material that is not supported by the original text. While summaries can be made hallucination-…
