Graph Guided Question Answer Generation for Procedural Question-Answering

no code implementations24 Jan 2024 Hai X. Pham, Isma Hadji, Xinnuo Xu, Ziedune Degutyte, Jay Rainey, Evangelos Kazakos, Afsaneh Fazly, Georgios Tzimiropoulos, Brais Martinez

The key technological enabler is a novel mechanism for automatic question-answer generation from procedural text which can ingest large amounts of textual instructions and produce exhaustive in-domain QA training data.

GePSAn: Generative Procedure Step Anticipation in Cooking Videos

no code implementations ICCV 2023 Mohamed Ashraf Abdelsalam, Samrudhdhi B. Rangrej, Isma Hadji, Nikita Dvornik, Konstantinos G. Derpanis, Afsaneh Fazly

While most previous work focus on the problem of data scarcity in procedural video datasets, another core challenge of future anticipation is how to account for multiple plausible future realizations in natural settings.

SAGE: Saliency-Guided Mixup with Optimal Rearrangements

1 code implementation31 Oct 2022 Avery Ma, Nikita Dvornik, Ran Zhang, Leila Pishdad, Konstantinos G. Derpanis, Afsaneh Fazly

For image classification, the most popular data augmentation techniques range from simple photometric and geometrical transformations, to more complex methods that use visual saliency to craft new training examples.

Visual Semantic Parsing: From Images to Abstract Meaning Representation

no code implementations26 Oct 2022 Mohamed Ashraf Abdelsalam, Zhan Shi, Federico Fancellu, Kalliopi Basioti, Dhaivat J. Bhatt, Vladimir Pavlovic, Afsaneh Fazly

The success of scene graphs for visual scene understanding has brought attention to the benefits of abstracting a visual input (e. g., image) into a structured representation, where entities (people and objects) are nodes connected by edges specifying their relations.

Uncertainty-based Cross-Modal Retrieval with Probabilistic Representations

no code implementations20 Apr 2022 Leila Pishdad, Ran Zhang, Konstantinos G. Derpanis, Allan Jepson, Afsaneh Fazly

Probabilistic embeddings have proven useful for capturing polysemous word meanings, as well as ambiguity in image matching.

Dependency parsing with structure preserving embeddings

no code implementations EACL 2021 {\'A}kos K{\'a}d{\'a}r, Lan Xiao, Mete Kemertas, Federico Fancellu, Allan Jepson, Afsaneh Fazly

We do so by casting dependency parsing as a tree embedding problem where we incorporate geometric properties of dependency trees in the form of training losses within a graph-based parser.

Probabilistic Multimodal Representation Learning

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Leila Pishdad, Ran Zhang, Afsaneh Fazly, Allan Jepson

Learning multimodal representations is a requirement for many tasks such as image--caption retrieval.

How coherent are neural models of coherence?

no code implementations COLING 2020 Leila Pishdad, Federico Fancellu, Ran Zhang, Afsaneh Fazly

Despite the recent advances in coherence modelling, most such models including state-of-the-art neural ones, are evaluated on either contrived proxy tasks such as the standard order discrimination benchmark, or tasks that require special expert annotation.

Accurate polyglot semantic parsing with DAG grammars

no code implementations Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 Federico Fancellu, {\'A}kos K{\'a}d{\'a}r, Ran Zhang, Afsaneh Fazly

We significantly improve upon this work, by proposing a simpler architecture as well as more efficient training and inference algorithms that can always guarantee the well-formedness of the generated graphs.

Classifying Out-of-vocabulary Terms in a Domain-Specific Social Media Corpus

no code implementations LREC 2016 SoHyun Park, Afsaneh Fazly, Annie Lee, Br Seibel, on, Wenjie Zi, Paul Cook

We then propose a supervised approach to classify out-of-vocabulary terms according to these categories, drawing on features based on word embeddings, and linguistic knowledge of common properties of out-of-vocabulary terms.

Using Noun Similarity to Adapt an Acceptability Measure for Persian Light Verb Constructions

no code implementations LREC 2012 Shiva Taslimipoor, Afsaneh Fazly, Ali Hamzeh

In particular, LVCs are formed semi-productively: often a semantically-general verb (such as take) combines with a number of semantically-similar nouns to form semantically-related LVCs, as in make a decision/choice/commitment.
