[EX Q]: Existing studies on semantic parsing mainly focus on the in-domain setting. We formulate cross-domain semantic parsing as a domain adaptation problem: train a semantic parser on some source domains and then adapt it to the target domain. Due to the diversity of logical forms in different domains, this problem presents unique and intriguing challenges. By converting logical forms into canonical utterances in natural language, we reduce semantic parsing to paraphrasing, and develop an attentive sequence-to-sequence paraphrase model that is general and flexible to adapt to different domains. We discover two problems, small micro variance and large macro variance, of pretrained word embeddings that hinder their direct use in neural networks, and propose standardization techniques as a remedy. On the popular OVERNIGHT dataset, which contains eight domains, we show that both cross-domain training and standardized pre-trained word embedding can bring significant improvement.

[EX Q]: Metric learning seeks a transformation of the feature space that enhances prediction quality for the given task at hand. In this work we provide PAC-style sample complexity rates for supervised metric learning. We give matching lowerand upper-bounds showing that the sample complexity scales with the representation dimension when no assumptions are made about the underlying data distribution. However, by leveraging the structure of the data distribution, we show that one can achieve rates that are fine-tuned to a specific notion of intrinsic complexity for a given dataset. Our analysis reveals that augmenting the metric learning optimization criterion with a simple norm-based regularization can help adapt to a dataset’s intrinsic complexity, yielding better generalization. Experiments on benchmark datasets validate our analysis and show that regularizing the metric can help discern the signal even when the data contains high amounts of noise.

[EX Q]: We study the complexity of functions computable by deep feedforward neural networks with piecewise linear activations in terms of the number of regions of linearity that they have. Deep networks are able to sequentially map portions of each layer’s input space to the same output. In this way, deep models compute functions with a compositional structure that is able to re-use pieces of computation exponentially often in terms of their depth. This note investigates the complexity of such compositional maps and contributes new theoretical results regarding the advantage of depth for neural networks with piece-wise linear activation functions.
