Phonological Perception of Sign Language Models
Kayo Yin, Jessica Carter, Alex Xijie Lu +1
Sign languages are compositional systems where meaning arises by combining sublexical phonological parameters, such as handshape, location, and movement. While deep learning models…
American Sign Language Handshapes Reflect Pressures for Communicative Efficiency
Kayo Yin, Terry Regier, Dan Klein
Communicative efficiency is a key topic in linguistics and cognitive psychology, with many studies demonstrating how the pressure to communicate with minimal effort guides the form…
Interpreting Language Models with Contrastive Explanations
Kayo Yin, Graham Neubig
Model interpretability methods are often used to explain NLP model decisions on tasks such as text classification, where the output space is relatively small. However, when applied…
When is Wall a Pared and when a Muro? -- Extracting Rules Governing Lexical Selection
Aditi Chaudhary, Kayo Yin, Antonios Anastasopoulos +1
Learning fine-grained distinctions between vocabulary items is a key challenge in learning a new language. For example, the noun "wall" has different lexical manifestations in Span…
When Does Translation Require Context? A Data-driven, Multilingual Exploration
Patrick Fernandes, Kayo Yin, Emmy Liu +2
Although proper handling of discourse significantly contributes to the quality of machine translation (MT), these improvements are not adequately measured in common translation qua…
Measuring and Increasing Context Usage in Context-Aware Machine Translation
Patrick Fernandes, Kayo Yin, Graham Neubig +1
Recent work in neural machine translation has demonstrated both the necessity and feasibility of using inter-sentential context -- context from sentences other than those currently…
Data Augmentation for Sign Language Gloss Translation
Amit Moryossef, Kayo Yin, Graham Neubig +1
Sign language translation (SLT) is often decomposed into video-to-gloss recognition and gloss-to-text translation, where a gloss is a sequence of transcribed spoken-language words…
Do Context-Aware Translation Models Pay the Right Attention?
Kayo Yin, Patrick Fernandes, Danish Pruthi +3
Context-aware machine translation models are designed to leverage contextual information, but often fail to do so. As a result, they inaccurately disambiguate pronouns and polysemo…
Including Signed Languages in Natural Language Processing
Kayo Yin, Amit Moryossef, Julie Hochgesang +2
Signed languages are the primary means of communication for many deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Since signed languages exhibit all the fundamental linguistic properties of n…
Better Sign Language Translation with STMC-Transformer
Kayo Yin, Jesse Read
Sign Language Translation (SLT) first uses a Sign Language Recognition (SLR) system to extract sign language glosses from videos. Then, a translation system generates spoken langua…
