MeSHup: Corpus for Full Text Biomedical Document Indexing

1 code implementation LREC 2022 Xindi Wang, Robert E. Mercer, Frank Rudzicz

Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) indexing refers to the problem of assigning a given biomedical document with the most relevant labels from an extremely large set of MeSH terms.

Use of Claim Graphing and Argumentation Schemes in Biomedical Literature: A Manual Approach to Analysis

no code implementations COLING (ArgMining) 2020 Eli Moser, Robert E. Mercer

The tendency for claims to use other claims as their supporting evidence in addition to the experimental data led to two novel models that have provided a better understanding of the large scale argumentation structure of a complete biochemistry paper.

A Unified Representation and a Decoupled Deep Learning Architecture for Argumentation Mining of Students’ Persuasive Essays

1 code implementation ArgMining (ACL) 2022 Muhammad Tawsif Sazid, Robert E. Mercer

We develop a novel unified representation for the argumentation mining task facilitating the extracting from text and the labelling of the non-argumentative units and argumentation components—premises, claims, and major claims—and the argumentative relations—premise to claim or premise in a support or attack relation, and claim to major-claim in a for or against relation—in an end-to-end machine learning pipeline.

You Only Need Attention to Traverse Trees

no code implementations ACL 2019 Mahtab Ahmed, Muhammad Rifayat Samee, Robert E. Mercer

To this end, we propose Tree Transformer, a model that captures phrase level syntax for constituency trees as well as word-level dependencies for dependency trees by doing recursive traversal only with attention.
