Fast Vocabulary Transfer for Language Model Compression

Leonidas Gee, Andrea Zugarini, Leonardo Rigutini +1

Real-world business applications require a trade-off between language model performance and size. We propose a new method for model compression that relies on vocabulary transfer.…

Combining Transformers with Natural Language Explanations

Federico Ruggeri, Marco Lippi, Paolo Torroni

Many NLP applications require models to be interpretable. However, many successful neural architectures, including transformers, still lack effective interpretation methods. A poss…

Tree-Constrained Graph Neural Networks For Argument Mining

Federico Ruggeri, Marco Lippi, Paolo Torroni

We propose a novel architecture for Graph Neural Networks that is inspired by the idea behind Tree Kernels of measuring similarity between trees by taking into account their common…

Blocking time under basic priority inheritance: Polynomial bound and exact computation

Paolo Torroni, Zeynep Kiziltan, Eugenio Faldella

The Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP) is arguably the best-known protocol for resource sharing under real-time constraints. Its importance in modern applications is undisputed. N…

CLAUDETTE: an Automated Detector of Potentially Unfair Clauses in Online Terms of Service

Marco Lippi, Przemyslaw Palka, Giuseppe Contissa +4

Terms of service of on-line platforms too often contain clauses that are potentially unfair to the consumer. We present an experimental study where machine learning is employed to…
