Grasping the Finer Point: A Supervised Similarity Network for Metaphor Detection
Marek Rei, Luana Bulat, Douwe Kiela +1
The ubiquity of metaphor in our everyday communication makes it an important problem for natural language understanding. Yet, the majority of metaphor processing systems to date re…
An Error-Oriented Approach to Word Embedding Pre-Training
Youmna Farag, Marek Rei, Ted Briscoe
We propose a novel word embedding pre-training approach that exploits writing errors in learners' scripts. We compare our method to previous models that tune the embeddings based o…
Artificial Error Generation with Machine Translation and Syntactic Patterns
Marek Rei, Mariano Felice, Zheng Yuan +1
Shortage of available training data is holding back progress in the area of automated error detection. This paper investigates two alternative methods for artificially generating w…
Detecting Off-topic Responses to Visual Prompts
Marek Rei
Automated methods for essay scoring have made great progress in recent years, achieving accuracies very close to human annotators. However, a known weakness of such automated score…
Auxiliary Objectives for Neural Error Detection Models
Marek Rei, Helen Yannakoudakis
We investigate the utility of different auxiliary objectives and training strategies within a neural sequence labeling approach to error detection in learner writing. Auxiliary cos…
Semi-supervised Multitask Learning for Sequence Labeling
Marek Rei
We propose a sequence labeling framework with a secondary training objective, learning to predict surrounding words for every word in the dataset. This language modeling objective…
