Translate-Distill: Learning Cross-Language Dense Retrieval by Translation and Distillation

1 code implementation9 Jan 2024 Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, James Mayfield, Douglas W. Oard, Scott Miller

Applying a similar knowledge distillation approach to training an efficient dual-encoder model for Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in different languages, is challenging due to the lack of a sufficiently large training collection when the query and document languages differ.

Synthetic Cross-language Information Retrieval Training Data

no code implementations29 Apr 2023 James Mayfield, Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, Samuel Barham, Orion Weller, Marc Mason, Suraj Nair, Scott Miller

By repeating this process, collections of arbitrary size can be created in the style of MS MARCO but using naturally-occurring documents in any desired genre and domain of discourse.

Impact of Subword Pooling Strategy on Cross-lingual Event Detection

1 code implementation22 Feb 2023 Shantanu Agarwal, Steven Fincke, Chris Jenkins, Scott Miller, Elizabeth Boschee

Taking the task of cross-lingual event detection as a motivating example, we show that the choice of pooling strategy can have a significant impact on the target language performance.

Language Model Priming for Cross-Lingual Event Extraction

no code implementations25 Sep 2021 Steven Fincke, Shantanu Agarwal, Scott Miller, Elizabeth Boschee

We show that by enabling the language model to better compensate for the deficits of sparse and noisy training data, our approach improves both trigger and argument detection and classification significantly over the state of the art in a zero-shot cross-lingual setting.

DEGREE: A Data-Efficient Generation-Based Event Extraction Model

2 code implementations NAACL 2022 I-Hung Hsu, Kuan-Hao Huang, Elizabeth Boschee, Scott Miller, Prem Natarajan, Kai-Wei Chang, Nanyun Peng

Given a passage and a manually designed prompt, DEGREE learns to summarize the events mentioned in the passage into a natural sentence that follows a predefined pattern.

SEARCHER: Shared Embedding Architecture for Effective Retrieval

no code implementations LREC 2020 Joel Barry, Elizabeth Boschee, Marjorie Freedman, Scott Miller

We describe an approach to cross lingual information retrieval that does not rely on explicit translation of either document or query terms.

Cross-lingual Joint Entity and Word Embedding to Improve Entity Linking and Parallel Sentence Mining

no code implementations WS 2019 Xiaoman Pan, Thamme Gowda, Heng Ji, Jonathan May, Scott Miller

Because this multilingual common space directly relates the semantics of contextual words in the source language to that of entities in the target language, we leverage it for unsupervised cross-lingual entity linking.

SARAL: A Low-Resource Cross-Lingual Domain-Focused Information Retrieval System for Effective Rapid Document Triage

no code implementations ACL 2019 Elizabeth Boschee, Joel Barry, Jayadev Billa, Marjorie Freedman, Thamme Gowda, Constantine Lignos, Chester Palen-Michel, Michael Pust, Banriskhem Kayang Khonglah, Srikanth Madikeri, Jonathan May, Scott Miller

In this paper we present an end-to-end cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) and summarization system for low-resource languages that 1) enables English speakers to search foreign language repositories of text and audio using English queries, 2) summarizes the retrieved documents in English with respect to a particular information need, and 3) provides complete transcriptions and translations as needed.

Use of Modality and Negation in Semantically-Informed Syntactic MT

no code implementations5 Feb 2015 Kathryn Baker, Michael Bloodgood, Bonnie J. Dorr, Chris Callison-Burch, Nathaniel W. Filardo, Christine Piatko, Lori Levin, Scott Miller

We apply our MN annotation scheme to statistical machine translation using a syntactic framework that supports the inclusion of semantic annotations.

Semantically-Informed Syntactic Machine Translation: A Tree-Grafting Approach

no code implementations24 Sep 2014 Kathryn Baker, Michael Bloodgood, Chris Callison-Burch, Bonnie J. Dorr, Nathaniel W. Filardo, Lori Levin, Scott Miller, Christine Piatko

We describe a unified and coherent syntactic framework for supporting a semantically-informed syntactic approach to statistical machine translation.
