Investigating the Performance of Transformer-Based NLI Models on Presuppositional Inferences

no code implementations COLING 2022 Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

Presuppositions are assumptions that are taken for granted by an utterance, and identifying them is key to a pragmatic interpretation of language.

Post-Editing Extractive Summaries by Definiteness Prediction

no code implementations Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

Moreover, based on an automatic evaluation study, we provide evidence for our system’s ability to generate linguistic decisions that lead to improved extractive summaries.

ConGraT: Self-Supervised Contrastive Pretraining for Joint Graph and Text Embeddings

1 code implementation23 May 2023 William Brannon, Suyash Fulay, Hang Jiang, Wonjune Kang, Brandon Roy, Jad Kabbara, Deb Roy

We propose ConGraT(Contrastive Graph-Text pretraining), a general, self-supervised method for jointly learning separate representations of texts and nodes in a parent (or ``supervening'') graph, where each text is associated with one of the nodes.

Debiasing should be Good and Bad: Measuring the Consistency of Debiasing Techniques in Language Models

1 code implementation23 May 2023 Robert Morabito, Jad Kabbara, Ali Emami

Debiasing methods that seek to mitigate the tendency of Language Models (LMs) to occasionally output toxic or inappropriate text have recently gained traction.

PersonaLLM: Investigating the Ability of Large Language Models to Express Personality Traits

1 code implementation4 May 2023 Hang Jiang, Xiajie Zhang, Xubo Cao, Cynthia Breazeal, Deb Roy, Jad Kabbara

Despite the many use cases for large language models (LLMs) in creating personalized chatbots, there has been limited research on evaluating the extent to which the behaviors of personalized LLMs accurately and consistently reflect specific personality traits.

Computational Investigations of Pragmatic Effects in Natural Language

no code implementations NAACL 2019 Jad Kabbara

Semantics and pragmatics are two complimentary and intertwined aspects of meaning in language.

Let's do it ``again'': A First Computational Approach to Detecting Adverbial Presupposition Triggers

no code implementations ACL 2018 Andre Cianflone, Yulan Feng, Jad Kabbara, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

We introduce the novel task of predicting adverbial presupposition triggers, which is useful for natural language generation tasks such as summarization and dialogue systems.

Capturing Pragmatic Knowledge in Article Usage Prediction using LSTMs

no code implementations COLING 2016 Jad Kabbara, Yulan Feng, Jackie Chi Kit Cheung

We examine the potential of recurrent neural networks for handling pragmatic inferences involving complex contextual cues for the task of article usage prediction.
