Tristan Miller, Erik-Lân Do Dinh, Edwin Simpson +1
Most humour processing systems to date make at best discrete, coarse-grained distinctions between the comical and the conventional, yet such notions are better conceptualized as a…
Low Resource Multi-Task Sequence Tagging -- Revisiting Dynamic Conditional Random Fields
Jonas Pfeiffer, Edwin Simpson, Iryna Gurevych
We compare different models for low resource multi-task sequence tagging that leverage dependencies between label sequences for different tasks. Our analysis is aimed at datasets w…
