ULTRA: Unleash LLMs' Potential for Event Argument Extraction through Hierarchical Modeling and Pair-wise Refinement

no code implementations24 Jan 2024 Xinliang Frederick Zhang, Carter Blum, Temma Choji, Shalin Shah, Alakananda Vempala

Event argument extraction (EAE), at the core of event-centric understanding, is the task of identifying role-specific text spans (i. e., arguments) for a given event.

Don't Retrain, Just Rewrite: Countering Adversarial Perturbations by Rewriting Text

no code implementations25 May 2023 Ashim Gupta, Carter Wood Blum, Temma Choji, Yingjie Fei, Shalin Shah, Alakananda Vempala, Vivek Srikumar

For example, on sentiment classification using the SST-2 dataset, our method improves the adversarial accuracy over the best existing defense approach by more than 4% with a smaller decrease in task accuracy (0. 5% vs 2. 5%).

Comparison of Stochastic Forecasting Models

1 code implementation OSF Preprints 2021 Shalin Shah

In this work, we compare several stochastic forecasting techniques like Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE), ARIMA, the Bayesian filter, Geometric Brownian motion (GBM), and the Kalman filter.

Multi-Task Learning of Query Intent and Named Entities using Transfer Learning

no code implementations28 Apr 2021 Shalin Shah, Ryan Siskind

Task specific NER has two components - identifying the intent of a piece of text (like search queries), and then labeling the query with task specific named entities.

Genetic Algorithm for the 0/1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem

1 code implementation20 Jul 2019 Shalin Shah

The 0/1 multidimensional knapsack problem is the 0/1 knapsack problem with m constraints which makes it difficult to solve using traditional methods like dynamic programming or branch and bound algorithms.

Genetic Algorithm for a class of Knapsack Problems

no code implementations15 Feb 2019 Shalin Shah

The 0/1 knapsack problem is weakly NP-hard in that there exist pseudo-polynomial time algorithms based on dynamic programming that can solve it exactly.

Randomized heuristic for the maximum clique problem

1 code implementation ResearchGate 2016 Shalin Shah

Finding the maximum clique in a graph is an NP-hard problem and it cannot be solved by an approximation algorithm that returns a solution within a constant factor of the optimum.

Implementation of iterative local search (ILS) for the quadratic assignment problem

1 code implementation ResearchGate 2014 Shalin Shah

The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is one of the hardest NP-hard problems and problems with a dimension of 20 or more can be difficult to solve using exact methods.
