Generative Adversarial Training Can Improve Neural Language Models

no code implementations2 Nov 2022 Sajad Movahedi, Azadeh Shakery

While deep learning in the form of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) has caused a significant improvement in neural language modeling, the fact that they are extremely prone to overfitting is still a mainly unresolved issue.

ARMAN: Pre-training with Semantically Selecting and Reordering of Sentences for Persian Abstractive Summarization

1 code implementation EMNLP 2021 Alireza Salemi, Emad Kebriaei, Ghazal Neisi Minaei, Azadeh Shakery

Current pre-training works in abstractive summarization give more points to the summaries with more words in common with the main text and pay less attention to the semantic similarity between generated sentences and the original document.

UTNLP at SemEval-2021 Task 5: A Comparative Analysis of Toxic Span Detection using Attention-based, Named Entity Recognition, and Ensemble Models

1 code implementation SEMEVAL 2021 Alireza Salemi, Nazanin Sabri, Emad Kebriaei, Behnam Bahrak, Azadeh Shakery

Detecting which parts of a sentence contribute to that sentence's toxicity -- rather than providing a sentence-level verdict of hatefulness -- would increase the interpretability of models and allow human moderators to better understand the outputs of the system.

Enriching Conversation Context in Retrieval-based Chatbots

no code implementations6 Nov 2019 Amir Vakili Tahami, Azadeh Shakery

Recent work has shown that these language models can be used in text-matching scenarios to create Bi-encoders that perform almost as well as Cross-encoders while having a much faster inference speed.

Online News Media Website Ranking Using User Generated Content

no code implementations28 Oct 2019 Samaneh Karimi, Azadeh Shakery, Rakesh Verma

The use of user-generated content in this framework, as a partly-unbiased, real-time and low cost content on the web distinguishes the proposed news website ranking framework from the literature.

LICD: A Language-Independent Approach for Aspect Category Detection

no code implementations ECIR 2019 Erfan Ghadery, Sajad Movahedi, Masoud Jalili Sabet, Heshaam Faili, Azadeh Shakery

For a given sentence, our proposed method performs ACD based on two hypotheses: First, a category should be assigned to a sentence if there is a high semantic similarity between the sentence and a set of representative words of that category.

Regression and Learning to Rank Aggregation for User Engagement Evaluation

no code implementations29 Jan 2015 Hamed Zamani, Azadeh Shakery, Pooya Moradi

In this paper, we consider a tweet containing a rating for a movie as an instance and focus on ranking the instances of each user based on their engagement, i. e., the total number of retweets and favorites it will gain.

A Probabilistic Translation Method for Dictionary-based Cross-lingual Information Retrieval in Agglutinative Languages

no code implementations4 Nov 2014 Javid Dadashkarimi, Azadeh Shakery, Heshaam Faili

Translation ambiguity, out of vocabulary words and missing some translations in bilingual dictionaries make dictionary-based Cross-language Information Retrieval (CLIR) a challenging task.

Learning to Exploit Different Translation Resources for Cross Language Information Retrieval

no code implementations20 May 2014 Hosein Azarbonyad, Azadeh Shakery, Heshaam Faili

To evaluate the proposed method we do English-Persian CLIR, in which we employ the translation ranking model to find translations of English queries and employ the translations to retrieve Persian documents.
