EntGPT: Linking Generative Large Language Models with Knowledge Bases

no code implementations9 Feb 2024 Yifan Ding, Amrit Poudel, Qingkai Zeng, Tim Weninger, Balaji Veeramani, Sanmitra Bhattacharya

Overall, the prompting method improves the micro-F_1 score of the original vanilla models by a large margin, on some cases up to 36% and higher, and obtains comparable performance across 10 datasets when compared to existing methods with SFT.

Navigating the Post-API Dilemma | Search Engine Results Pages Present a Biased View of Social Media Data

no code implementations27 Jan 2024 Amrit Poudel, Tim Weninger

Recent decisions to discontinue access to social media APIs are having detrimental effects on Internet research and the field of computational social science as a whole.

TK-KNN: A Balanced Distance-Based Pseudo Labeling Approach for Semi-Supervised Intent Classification

1 code implementation17 Oct 2023 Nicholas Botzer, David Vasquez, Tim Weninger, Issam Laradji

In the present work, we describe Top-K K-Nearest Neighbor (TK-KNN), which uses a more robust pseudo-labeling approach based on distance in the embedding space while maintaining a balanced set of pseudo-labeled examples across classes through a ranking-based approach.

H-EMD: A Hierarchical Earth Mover's Distance Method for Instance Segmentation

no code implementations2 Jun 2022 Peixian Liang, Yizhe Zhang, Yifan Ding, Jianxu Chen, Chinedu S. Madukoma, Tim Weninger, Joshua D. Shrout, Danny Z. Chen

We observe that probability maps by DL semantic segmentation models can be used to generate many possible instance candidates, and accurate instance segmentation can be achieved by selecting from them a set of "optimized" candidates as output instances.

Survey Equivalence: A Procedure for Measuring Classifier Accuracy Against Human Labels

1 code implementation2 Jun 2021 Paul Resnick, Yuqing Kong, Grant Schoenebeck, Tim Weninger

We refer to such tasks as survey settings because the ground truth is defined through a survey of one or more human raters.

Posthoc Verification and the Fallibility of the Ground Truth

1 code implementation NAACL (DADC) 2022 Yifan Ding, Nicholas Botzer, Tim Weninger

Metrics used in these evaluations are tied to the availability of well-defined ground truth labels, and these metrics typically do not allow for inexact matches.

Reddit Entity Linking Dataset

no code implementations4 Jan 2021 Nicholas Botzer, Yifan Ding, Tim Weninger

We introduce and make publicly available an entity linking dataset from Reddit that contains 17, 316 linked entities, each annotated by three human annotators and then grouped into Gold, Silver, and Bronze to indicate inter-annotator agreement.

Tri-Train: Automatic Pre-Fine Tuning between Pre-Training and Fine-Tuning for SciNER

no code implementations Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 Qingkai Zeng, Wenhao Yu, Mengxia Yu, Tianwen Jiang, Tim Weninger, Meng Jiang

The training process of scientific NER models is commonly performed in two steps: i) Pre-training a language model by self-supervised tasks on huge data and ii) fine-tune training with small labelled data.

ProjE: Embedding Projection for Knowledge Graph Completion

2 code implementations16 Nov 2016 Baoxu Shi, Tim Weninger

In this work, we present a shared variable neural network model called ProjE that fills-in missing information in a knowledge graph by learning joint embeddings of the knowledge graph's entities and edges, and through subtle, but important, changes to the standard loss function.
