Bridging Compositional and Distributional Semantics: A Survey on Latent Semantic Geometry via AutoEncoder

Yingji Zhang, Danilo S. Carvalho, André Freitas

Integrating compositional and symbolic properties into current distributional semantic spaces can enhance the interpretability, controllability, compositionality, and generalisatio…

Learning to Disentangle Latent Reasoning Rules with Language VAEs: A Systematic Study

Yingji Zhang, Marco Valentino, Danilo S. Carvalho +1

Incorporating explicit reasoning rules within the latent space of language models (LMs) offers a promising pathway to enhance generalisation, interpretability, and controllability.…

LangVAE and LangSpace: Building and Probing for Language Model VAEs

Danilo S. Carvalho, Yingji Zhang, Harriet Unsworth +1

We present LangVAE, a novel framework for modular construction of variational autoencoders (VAEs) on top of pre-trained large language models (LLMs). Such language model VAEs can e…

Improving Semantic Control in Discrete Latent Spaces with Transformer Quantized Variational Autoencoders

Yingji Zhang, Danilo S. Carvalho, Marco Valentino +2

Achieving precise semantic control over the latent spaces of Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) holds significant value for downstream tasks in NLP as the underlying generative mechan…

LlaMaVAE: Guiding Large Language Model Generation via Continuous Latent Sentence Spaces

Yingji Zhang, Danilo S. Carvalho, Ian Pratt-Hartmann +1

Deep generative neural networks, such as Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs), offer an opportunity to better understand and control language models from the perspective of sentence-lev…

Graph-Induced Syntactic-Semantic Spaces in Transformer-Based Variational AutoEncoders

Yingji Zhang, Marco Valentino, Danilo S. Carvalho +2

The injection of syntactic information in Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs) has been shown to result in an overall improvement of performances and generalisation. An effective strate…
