Preventing Eviction-Caused Homelessness through ML-Informed Distribution of Rental Assistance

no code implementations19 Mar 2024 Catalina Vajiac, Arun Frey, Joachim Baumann, Abigail Smith, Kasun Amarasinghe, Alice Lai, Kit Rodolfa, Rayid Ghani

Rental assistance programs provide individuals with financial assistance to prevent housing instabilities caused by evictions and avert homelessness.

Objects as volumes: A stochastic geometry view of opaque solids

no code implementations24 Dec 2023 Bailey Miller, HanYu Chen, Alice Lai, Ioannis Gkioulekas

Starting from a stochastic representation of opaque solids as random indicator functions, we prove the conditions under which such solids can be modeled using exponential volumetric transport.

Natural Language Inference from Multiple Premises

no code implementations IJCNLP 2017 Alice Lai, Yonatan Bisk, Julia Hockenmaier

We define a novel textual entailment task that requires inference over multiple premise sentences.

Learning to Predict Denotational Probabilities For Modeling Entailment

no code implementations EACL 2017 Alice Lai, Julia Hockenmaier

We propose a framework that captures the denotational probabilities of words and phrases by embedding them in a vector space, and present a method to induce such an embedding from a dataset of denotational probabilities.

From image descriptions to visual denotations: New similarity metrics for semantic inference over event descriptions

no code implementations TACL 2014 Peter Young, Alice Lai, Micah Hodosh, Julia Hockenmaier

We propose to use the visual denotations of linguistic expressions (i. e. the set of images they describe) to define novel denotational similarity metrics, which we show to be at least as beneficial as distributional similarities for two tasks that require semantic inference.
