ParsiNLU: A Suite of Language Understanding Challenges for Persian
Daniel Khashabi, Arman Cohan, Siamak Shakeri +22
Despite the progress made in recent years in addressing natural language understanding (NLU) challenges, the majority of this progress remains to be concentrated on resource-rich l…
Not All Claims are Created Equal: Choosing the Right Statistical Approach to Assess Hypotheses
Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Daniel Khashabi, Ashish Sabharwal +1
Empirical research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has adopted a narrow set of principles for assessing hypotheses, relying mainly on p-value computation, which suffers from s…
On the Possibilities and Limitations of Multi-hop Reasoning Under Linguistic Imperfections
Daniel Khashabi, Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Tushar Khot +2
Systems for language understanding have become remarkably strong at overcoming linguistic imperfections in tasks involving phrase matching or simple reasoning. Yet, their accuracy…
A Practical Algorithm for Distributed Clustering and Outlier Detection
Jiecao Chen, Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Qin Zhang
We study the classic -means/median clustering, which are fundamental problems in unsupervised learning, in the setting where data are partitioned across multiple sites, and wher…
Periodicity in Data Streams with Wildcards
Funda Ergün, Elena Grigorescu, Erfan Sadeqi Azer +1
We investigate the problem of detecting periodic trends within a string of length , arriving in the streaming model, containing at most wildcard characters, where $k=o(n…
Longest Alignment with Edits in Data Streams
Elena Grigorescu, Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Samson Zhou
Analyzing patterns in data streams generated by network traffic, sensor networks, or satellite feeds is a challenge for systems in which the available storage is limited. In additi…
Streaming Periodicity with Mismatches
Funda Ergün, Elena Grigorescu, Erfan Sadeqi Azer +1
We study the problem of finding all -periods of a length- string , presented as a data stream. is said to have -period if its prefix of length differs fro…
Effective sketching methods for value function approximation
Yangchen Pan, Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Martha White
High-dimensional representations, such as radial basis function networks or tile coding, are common choices for policy evaluation in reinforcement learning. Learning with such high…
Streaming for Aibohphobes: Longest Palindrome with Mismatches
Elena Grigorescu, Erfan Sadeqi Azer, Samson Zhou
A palindrome is a string that reads the same as its reverse, such as "aibohphobia" (fear of palindromes). Given an integer , a -near-palindrome is a string of Hamming dista…
Palindrome Recognition In The Streaming Model
Petra Berenbrink, Funda Ergün, Frederik Mallmann-Trenn +1
In the Palindrome Problem one tries to find all palindromes (palindromic substrings) in a given string. A palindrome is defined as a string which reads forwards the same as backwar…
