Beyond Sequence Order: Syntax-Informed Positional Embeddings for Transformers
Haris Riaz, Hyungji Kim, Mihai Surdeanu
Positional embeddings (PE) in Transformers encode token distance and order but are largely agnostic to \textit{syntactic structure}. We introduce \textbf{S}yntax-\textbf{i}nformed…
Dr. DocBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Expert-Level and Difficult Document Parsing
Minglai Yang, Xinyan Velocity Yu, Pengyuan Li +22
Document parsing and recognition are fundamental capabilities for vision-language models (VLMs) and document processing systems. However, existing Optical Character Recognition (OC…
MetaSynth: Meta-Prompting-Driven Agentic Scaffolds for Diverse Synthetic Data Generation
Haris Riaz, Sourav Bhabesh, Vinayak Arannil +2
Recent smaller language models such Phi-3.5 and Phi-4 rely on synthetic data generated using larger Language models. Questions remain about leveraging synthetic data for other use…
Say Less, Mean More: Leveraging Pragmatics in Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Haris Riaz, Ellen Riloff, Mihai Surdeanu
We propose a simple, unsupervised method that injects pragmatic principles in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks such as Dense Passage Retrieval to enhance the utility…
ELLEN: Extremely Lightly Supervised Learning For Efficient Named Entity Recognition
Haris Riaz, Razvan-Gabriel Dumitru, Mihai Surdeanu
In this work, we revisit the problem of semi-supervised named entity recognition (NER) focusing on extremely light supervision, consisting of a lexicon containing only 10 examples…
Best of Both Worlds: A Pliable and Generalizable Neuro-Symbolic Approach for Relation Classification
Robert Vacareanu, Fahmida Alam, Md Asiful Islam +2
This paper introduces a novel neuro-symbolic architecture for relation classification (RC) that combines rule-based methods with contemporary deep learning techniques. This approac…
Synthetic Dataset for Evaluating Complex Compositional Knowledge for Natural Language Inference
Sushma Anand Akoju, Robert Vacareanu, Haris Riaz +2
We introduce a synthetic dataset called Sentences Involving Complex Compositional Knowledge (SICCK) and a novel analysis that investigates the performance of Natural Language Infer…
