The resulting vectors have been shown to capture semantic relationships among their corresponding words, and have shown promise in reducing a number of natural language processing (NLP) ... | Embedding words in a common vector space can enable machine learning algorithms to achieve better performance in natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Word2vec BIBREF0 is a recently proposed family of algorithms for training such vector representations from unstructured text data via shallow neural networks. The geo... |
580 | How they evaluate their approach? | They evaluate newly proposed models in several low-resource settings across different languages with real, distantly supervised data with non-synthetic noise | Unsupervised neural machine translation (UNMT) has recently achieved remarkable results with only large monolingual corpora in each language. However, the uncertainty of associating target with source sentences makes UNMT theoretically an ill-posed problem. This work investigates the possibility of utilizing images for... | Our long-term goal is to build intelligent systems that can perceive their visual environment and understand the linguistic information, and further make an accurate translation inference to another language. Since image has become an important source for humans to learn and acquire knowledge (e.g. video lectures, BIBR... |
581 | How large is the corpus? | It contains 106,350 documents | In low-resource settings, the performance of supervised labeling models can be improved with automatically annotated or distantly supervised data, which is cheap to create but often noisy. Previous works have shown that significant improvements can be reached by injecting information about the confusion between clean a... | Most languages, even with millions of speakers, have not been the center for natural language processing and are counted as low-resource for tasks like named entity recognition (NER). Similarly, even for high-resource languages, there exists only few labeled data for most entity types beyond person, location and organi... |
584 | What was their perplexity score? | Perplexity score 142.84 on dev and 138.91 on test | To combat fake news, researchers mostly focused on detecting fake news and journalists built and maintained fact-checking sites (e.g., this http URL and this http URL). However, fake news dissemination has been greatly promoted via social media sites, and these fact-checking sites have not been fully utilized. To overc... | While social media sites provide users with the revolutionized communication medium by bringing the communication efficiency to a new level, they can be easily misused for widely spreading misinformation and fake news. Fake news and misinformation have been a long-standing issue for various purposes such as political p... |
586 | What they formulate the question generation as? | LASSO optimization problem | Self-attention (SA) network has shown profound value in image captioning. In this paper, we improve SA from two aspects to promote the performance of image captioning. First, we propose Normalized Self-Attention (NSA), a reparameterization of SA that brings the benefits of normalization inside SA. While normalization i... | Automatically generating captions for images, namely image captioning BIBREF0, BIBREF1, has emerged as a prominent research problem at the intersection of computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). This task is challenging as it requires to first recognize the objects in the image, the relationships be... |
588 | Was the degree of offensiveness taken as how generally offensive the text was, or how personally offensive it was to the annotator? | Personal thought of the annotator. | Semantic role labeling (SRL) is to recognize the predicate-argument structure of a sentence, including subtasks of predicate disambiguation and argument labeling. Previous studies usually formulate the entire SRL problem into two or more subtasks. For the first time, this paper introduces an end-to-end neural model whi... | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. License details: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Semantic role labeling (SRL) is a shallow semantic parsing, which is dedicated to identifying the semantic arguments of a predicate and labeling them with their semantic rol... |
589 | Which embeddings do they detect biases in? | Word embeddings trained on GoogleNews and Word embeddings trained on Reddit dataset | Some users of social media are spreading racist, sexist, and otherwise hateful content. For the purpose of training a hate speech detection system, the reliability of the annotations is crucial, but there is no universally agreed-upon definition. We collected potentially hateful messages and asked two groups of interne... | Social media are sometimes used to disseminate hateful messages. In Europe, the current surge in hate speech has been linked to the ongoing refugee crisis. Lawmakers and social media sites are increasingly aware of the problem and are developing approaches to deal with it, for example promising to remove illegal messag... |
