SummaC: Re-Visiting NLI-based Models for Inconsistency Detection in Summarization

Philippe Laban, Tobias Schnabel, Paul N. Bennett +1

In the summarization domain, a key requirement for summaries is to be factually consistent with the input document. Previous work has found that natural language inference (NLI) mo…

Zero-Shot Dense Retrieval with Momentum Adversarial Domain Invariant Representations

Ji Xin, Chenyan Xiong, Ashwin Srinivasan +3

Dense retrieval (DR) methods conduct text retrieval by first encoding texts in the embedding space and then matching them by nearest neighbor search. This requires strong locality…

Keep it Simple: Unsupervised Simplification of Multi-Paragraph Text

Philippe Laban, Tobias Schnabel, Paul Bennett +1

This work presents Keep it Simple (KiS), a new approach to unsupervised text simplification which learns to balance a reward across three properties: fluency, salience and simplici…

Domain-Specific Pretraining for Vertical Search: Case Study on Biomedical Literature

Yu Wang, Jinchao Li, Tristan Naumann +12

Information overload is a prevalent challenge in many high-value domains. A prominent case in point is the explosion of the biomedical literature on COVID-19, which swelled to hund…

Less is More: Pre-train a Strong Text Encoder for Dense Retrieval Using a Weak Decoder

Shuqi Lu, Di He, Chenyan Xiong +6

Dense retrieval requires high-quality text sequence embeddings to support effective search in the representation space. Autoencoder-based language models are appealing in dense ret…

COCO-LM: Correcting and Contrasting Text Sequences for Language Model Pretraining

Yu Meng, Chenyan Xiong, Payal Bajaj +4

We present a self-supervised learning framework, COCO-LM, that pretrains Language Models by COrrecting and COntrasting corrupted text sequences. Following ELECTRA-style pretraining…
