Language Models in the Loop: Incorporating Prompting into Weak Supervision

Ryan Smith, Jason A. Fries, Braden Hancock +1

We propose a new strategy for applying large pre-trained language models to novel tasks when labeled training data is limited. Rather than apply the model in a typical zero-shot or…

Learning from Dialogue after Deployment: Feed Yourself, Chatbot!

Braden Hancock, Antoine Bordes, Pierre-Emmanuel Mazaré +1

The majority of conversations a dialogue agent sees over its lifetime occur after it has already been trained and deployed, leaving a vast store of potential training signal untapp…

Snorkel DryBell: A Case Study in Deploying Weak Supervision at Industrial Scale

Stephen H. Bach, Daniel Rodriguez, Yintao Liu +10

Labeling training data is one of the most costly bottlenecks in developing machine learning-based applications. We present a first-of-its-kind study showing how existing knowledge…

Training Complex Models with Multi-Task Weak Supervision

Alexander Ratner, Braden Hancock, Jared Dunnmon +3

As machine learning models continue to increase in complexity, collecting large hand-labeled training sets has become one of the biggest roadblocks in practice. Instead, weaker for…

Training Classifiers with Natural Language Explanations

Braden Hancock, Paroma Varma, Stephanie Wang +3

Training accurate classifiers requires many labels, but each label provides only limited information (one bit for binary classification). In this work, we propose BabbleLabble, a f…

Fonduer: Knowledge Base Construction from Richly Formatted Data

Sen Wu, Luke Hsiao, Xiao Cheng +4

We focus on knowledge base construction (KBC) from richly formatted data. In contrast to KBC from text or tabular data, KBC from richly formatted data aims to extract relations con…
