An Empirical Study of Sections in Classifying Disease Outbreak Reports
Son Doan, Mike Conway, Nigel Collier
Identifying articles that relate to infectious diseases is a necessary step for any automatic bio-surveillance system that monitors news articles from the Internet. Unlike scientif…
On the Importance of the Kullback-Leibler Divergence Term in Variational Autoencoders for Text Generation
Victor Prokhorov, Ehsan Shareghi, Yingzhen Li +2
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are known to suffer from learning uninformative latent representation of the input due to issues such as approximated posterior collapse, or entangl…
Generating Knowledge Graph Paths from Textual Definitions using Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Victor Prokhorov, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Nigel Collier
We present a novel method for mapping unrestricted text to knowledge graph entities by framing the task as a sequence-to-sequence problem. Specifically, given the encoded state of…
Unseen Word Representation by Aligning Heterogeneous Lexical Semantic Spaces
Victor Prokhorov, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Dimitri Kartsaklis +2
Word embedding techniques heavily rely on the abundance of training data for individual words. Given the Zipfian distribution of words in natural language texts, a large number of…
A Pragmatic Guide to Geoparsing Evaluation
Milan Gritta, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Nigel Collier
Empirical methods in geoparsing have thus far lacked a standard evaluation framework describing the task, metrics and data used to compare state-of-the-art systems. Evaluation is f…
Card-660: Cambridge Rare Word Dataset - a Reliable Benchmark for Infrequent Word Representation Models
Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Dimitri Kartsaklis, Victor Prokhorov +1
Rare word representation has recently enjoyed a surge of interest, owing to the crucial role that effective handling of infrequent words can play in accurate semantic understanding…
