BioDivergence: A Benchmark and Evaluation Framework for Hidden Contextual Contradictions in Biomedical Abstracts
Elias Hossain, Sanjeda Sara Jennifer, Sabera Akter Bushra +1
Biomedical findings often seem to conflict across studies, but many of these differences are context-dependent rather than true contradictions. Variations in cohort, geography, ass…
Explainable Detection of Implicit Influential Patterns in Conversations via Data Augmentation
Sina Abdidizaji, Md Kowsher, Niloofar Yousefi +1
In the era of digitalization, as individuals increasingly rely on digital platforms for communication and news consumption, various actors employ linguistic strategies to influence…
FlowNIB: An Information Bottleneck Analysis of Bidirectional vs. Unidirectional Language Models
Md Kowsher, Nusrat Jahan Prottasha, Shiyun Xu +4
Bidirectional language models have better context understanding and perform better than unidirectional models on natural language understanding tasks, yet the theoretical reasons b…
BnTTS: Few-Shot Speaker Adaptation in Low-Resource Setting
Mohammad Jahid Ibna Basher, Md Kowsher, Md Saiful Islam +8
This paper introduces BnTTS (Bangla Text-To-Speech), the first framework for Bangla speaker adaptation-based TTS, designed to bridge the gap in Bangla speech synthesis using minima…
Predicting Through Generation: Why Generation Is Better for Prediction
Md Kowsher, Nusrat Jahan Prottasha, Prakash Bhat +6
This paper argues that generating output tokens is more effective than using pooled representations for prediction tasks because token-level generation retains more mutual informat…
Does Self-Attention Need Separate Weights in Transformers?
Md Kowsher, Nusrat Jahan Prottasha, Chun-Nam Yu +2
The success of self-attention lies in its ability to capture long-range dependencies and enhance context understanding, but it is limited by its computational complexity and challe…
