Few-Shot Data-to-Text Generation via Unified Representation and Multi-Source Learning
Alexander Hanbo Li, Mingyue Shang, Evangelia Spiliopoulou +9
We present a novel approach for structured data-to-text generation that addresses the limitations of existing methods that primarily focus on specific types of structured data. Our…
Generate then Select: Open-ended Visual Question Answering Guided by World Knowledge
Xingyu Fu, Sheng Zhang, Gukyeong Kwon +10
The open-ended Visual Question Answering (VQA) task requires AI models to jointly reason over visual and natural language inputs using world knowledge. Recently, pre-trained Langua…
Benchmarking Diverse-Modal Entity Linking with Generative Models
Sijia Wang, Alexander Hanbo Li, Henry Zhu +9
Entities can be expressed in diverse formats, such as texts, images, or column names and cell values in tables. While existing entity linking (EL) models work well on per modality…
Taxonomy Expansion for Named Entity Recognition
Karthikeyan K, Yogarshi Vyas, Jie Ma +7
Training a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model often involves fixing a taxonomy of entity types. However, requirements evolve and we might need the NER model to recognize addition…
Comparing Biases and the Impact of Multilingual Training across Multiple Languages
Sharon Levy, Neha Anna John, Ling Liu +6
Studies in bias and fairness in natural language processing have primarily examined social biases within a single language and/or across few attributes (e.g. gender, race). However…
UNITE: A Unified Benchmark for Text-to-SQL Evaluation
Wuwei Lan, Zhiguo Wang, Anuj Chauhan +15
A practical text-to-SQL system should generalize well on a wide variety of natural language questions, unseen database schemas, and novel SQL query structures. To comprehensively e…
Pre-training Intent-Aware Encoders for Zero- and Few-Shot Intent Classification
Mujeen Sung, James Gung, Elman Mansimov +5
Intent classification (IC) plays an important role in task-oriented dialogue systems. However, IC models often generalize poorly when training without sufficient annotated examples…
Dr.Spider: A Diagnostic Evaluation Benchmark towards Text-to-SQL Robustness
Shuaichen Chang, Jun Wang, Mingwen Dong +13
Neural text-to-SQL models have achieved remarkable performance in translating natural language questions into SQL queries. However, recent studies reveal that text-to-SQL models ar…
Importance of Synthesizing High-quality Data for Text-to-SQL Parsing
Yiyun Zhao, Jiarong Jiang, Yiqun Hu +14
Recently, there has been increasing interest in synthesizing data to improve downstream text-to-SQL tasks. In this paper, we first examined the existing synthesized datasets and di…
Novel Chapter Abstractive Summarization using Spinal Tree Aware Sub-Sentential Content Selection
Hardy Hardy, Miguel Ballesteros, Faisal Ladhak +3
Summarizing novel chapters is a difficult task due to the input length and the fact that sentences that appear in the desired summaries draw content from multiple places throughout…
Synthetic Target Domain Supervision for Open Retrieval QA
Revanth Gangi Reddy, Bhavani Iyer, Md Arafat Sultan +5
Neural passage retrieval is a new and promising approach in open retrieval question answering. In this work, we stress-test the Dense Passage Retriever (DPR) -- a state-of-the-art…
Towards Robust Neural Retrieval Models with Synthetic Pre-Training
Revanth Gangi Reddy, Vikas Yadav, Md Arafat Sultan +4
Recent work has shown that commonly available machine reading comprehension (MRC) datasets can be used to train high-performance neural information retrieval (IR) systems. However,…
End-to-End QA on COVID-19: Domain Adaptation with Synthetic Training
Revanth Gangi Reddy, Bhavani Iyer, Md Arafat Sultan +5
End-to-end question answering (QA) requires both information retrieval (IR) over a large document collection and machine reading comprehension (MRC) on the retrieved passages. Rece…
Answer Span Correction in Machine Reading Comprehension
Revanth Gangi Reddy, Md Arafat Sultan, Efsun Sarioglu Kayi +3
Answer validation in machine reading comprehension (MRC) consists of verifying an extracted answer against an input context and question pair. Previous work has looked at re-assess…
Multi-Stage Pre-training for Low-Resource Domain Adaptation
Rong Zhang, Revanth Gangi Reddy, Md Arafat Sultan +7
Transfer learning techniques are particularly useful in NLP tasks where a sizable amount of high-quality annotated data is difficult to obtain. Current approaches directly adapt a…
The TechQA Dataset
Vittorio Castelli, Rishav Chakravarti, Saswati Dana +18
We introduce TechQA, a domain-adaptation question answering dataset for the technical support domain. The TechQA corpus highlights two real-world issues from the automated customer…
CFO: A Framework for Building Production NLP Systems
Rishav Chakravarti, Cezar Pendus, Andrzej Sakrajda +8
This paper introduces a novel orchestration framework, called CFO (COMPUTATION FLOW ORCHESTRATOR), for building, experimenting with, and deploying interactive NLP (Natural Language…
A Sentence Compression Based Framework to Query-Focused Multi-Document Summarization
Lu Wang, Hema Raghavan, Vittorio Castelli +2
We consider the problem of using sentence compression techniques to facilitate query-focused multi-document summarization. We present a sentence-compression-based framework for the…
Query-Focused Opinion Summarization for User-Generated Content
Lu Wang, Hema Raghavan, Claire Cardie +1
We present a submodular function-based framework for query-focused opinion summarization. Within our framework, relevance ordering produced by a statistical ranker, and information…
