Q-Filters: Leveraging QK Geometry for Efficient KV Cache Compression

Nathan Godey, Alessio Devoto, Yu Zhao +4

Autoregressive language models rely on a Key-Value (KV) Cache, which avoids re-computing past hidden states during generation, making it faster. As model sizes and context lengths…

Clustering-based Automatic Construction of Legal Entity Knowledge Base from Contracts

Fuqi Song, Éric de la Clergerie

In contract analysis and contract automation, a knowledge base (KB) of legal entities is fundamental for performing tasks such as contract verification, contract generation and con…

MUSS: Multilingual Unsupervised Sentence Simplification by Mining Paraphrases

Louis Martin, Angela Fan, Éric de la Clergerie +2

Progress in sentence simplification has been hindered by a lack of labeled parallel simplification data, particularly in languages other than English. We introduce MUSS, a Multilin…

Controllable Sentence Simplification

Louis Martin, Benoît Sagot, Éric de la Clergerie +1

Text simplification aims at making a text easier to read and understand by simplifying grammar and structure while keeping the underlying information identical. It is often conside…

Reference-less Quality Estimation of Text Simplification Systems

Louis Martin, Samuel Humeau, Pierre-Emmanuel Mazaré +3

The evaluation of text simplification (TS) systems remains an open challenge. As the task has common points with machine translation (MT), TS is often evaluated using MT metrics su…

Évaluation de lexiques syntaxiques par leur intégartion dans l'analyseur syntaxiques FRMG

Elsa Tolone, Éric De La Clergerie, Sagot Benoit

In this paper, we evaluate various French lexica with the parser FRMG: the Lefff, LGLex, the lexicon built from the tables of the French Lexicon-Grammar, the lexicon DICOVALENCE an…
