Homepage2Vec: Language-Agnostic Website Embedding and Classification
Sylvain Lugeon, Tiziano Piccardi, Robert West
Currently, publicly available models for website classification do not offer an embedding method and have limited support for languages beyond English. We release a dataset of more…
Better than Average: Paired Evaluation of NLP Systems
Maxime Peyrard, Wei Zhao, Steffen Eger +1
Evaluation in NLP is usually done by comparing the scores of competing systems independently averaged over a common set of test instances. In this work, we question the use of aver…
Classifying Dyads for Militarized Conflict Analysis
Niklas Stoehr, Lucas Torroba Hennigen, Samin Ahbab +2
Understanding the origins of militarized conflict is a complex, yet important undertaking. Existing research seeks to build this understanding by considering bi-lateral relationshi…
Laughing Heads: Can Transformers Detect What Makes a Sentence Funny?
Maxime Peyrard, Beatriz Borges, Kristina Gligorić +1
The automatic detection of humor poses a grand challenge for natural language processing. Transformer-based systems have recently achieved remarkable results on this task, but they…
Low-Rank Subspaces for Unsupervised Entity Linking
Akhil Arora, Alberto García-Durán, Robert West
Entity linking is an important problem with many applications. Most previous solutions were designed for settings where annotated training data is available, which is, however, not…
KLearn: Background Knowledge Inference from Summarization Data
Maxime Peyrard, Robert West
The goal of text summarization is to compress documents to the relevant information while excluding background information already known to the receiver. So far, summarization rese…
Crosslingual Topic Modeling with WikiPDA
Tiziano Piccardi, Robert West
We present Wikipedia-based Polyglot Dirichlet Allocation (WikiPDA), a crosslingual topic model that learns to represent Wikipedia articles written in any language as distributions…
On the Limitations of Cross-lingual Encoders as Exposed by Reference-Free Machine Translation Evaluation
Wei Zhao, Goran Glavaš, Maxime Peyrard +3
Evaluation of cross-lingual encoders is usually performed either via zero-shot cross-lingual transfer in supervised downstream tasks or via unsupervised cross-lingual textual simil…
Robust Cross-lingual Embeddings from Parallel Sentences
Ali Sabet, Prakhar Gupta, Jean-Baptiste Cordonnier +2
Recent advances in cross-lingual word embeddings have primarily relied on mapping-based methods, which project pretrained word embeddings from different languages into a shared spa…
