POQue: Asking Participant-specific Outcome Questions for a Deeper Understanding of Complex Events

Sai Vallurupalli, Sayontan Ghosh, Katrin Erk +2

Knowledge about outcomes is critical for complex event understanding but is hard to acquire. We show that by pre-identifying a participant in a complex event, crowd workers are abl…

Transferring Semantic Knowledge Into Language Encoders

Mohammad Umair, Francis Ferraro

We introduce semantic form mid-tuning, an approach for transferring semantic knowledge from semantic meaning representations into transformer-based language encoders. In mid-tuning…

Learning a Reversible Embedding Mapping using Bi-Directional Manifold Alignment

Ashwinkumar Ganesan, Francis Ferraro, Tim Oates

We propose a Bi-Directional Manifold Alignment (BDMA) that learns a non-linear mapping between two manifolds by explicitly training it to be bijective. We demonstrate BDMA by train…

A Discrete Variational Recurrent Topic Model without the Reparametrization Trick

Mehdi Rezaee, Francis Ferraro

We show how to learn a neural topic model with discrete random variables---one that explicitly models each word's assigned topic---using neural variational inference that does not…

On the Complementary Nature of Knowledge Graph Embedding, Fine Grain Entity Types, and Language Modeling

Rajat Patel, Francis Ferraro

We demonstrate the complementary natures of neural knowledge graph embedding, fine-grain entity type prediction, and neural language modeling. We show that a language model-inspire…

Event Representation with Sequential, Semi-Supervised Discrete Variables

Mehdi Rezaee, Francis Ferraro

Within the context of event modeling and understanding, we propose a new method for neural sequence modeling that takes partially-observed sequences of discrete, external knowledge…
