Reducing Disambiguation Biases in NMT by Leveraging Explicit Word Sense Information

no code implementations NAACL 2022 Niccolò Campolungo, Tommaso Pasini, Denis Emelin, Roberto Navigli

Recent studies have shed some light on a common pitfall of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models, stemming from their struggle to disambiguate polysemous words without lapsing into their most frequently occurring senses in the training corpus. In this paper, we first provide a novel approach for automatically creating high-precision sense-annotated parallel corpora, and then put forward a specifically tailored fine-tuning strategy for exploiting these sense annotations during training without introducing any additional requirement at inference time. The use of explicit senses proved to be beneficial to reduce the disambiguation bias of a baseline NMT model, while, at the same time, leading our system to attain higher BLEU scores than its vanilla counterpart in 3 language pairs.

FairLex: A Multilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Fairness in Legal Text Processing

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Ilias Chalkidis, Tommaso Pasini, Sheng Zhang, Letizia Tomada, Sebastian Felix Schwemer, Anders Søgaard

We present a benchmark suite of four datasets for evaluating the fairness of pre-trained language models and the techniques used to fine-tune them for downstream tasks.

Wikipedia Entities as Rendezvous across Languages: Grounding Multilingual Language Models by Predicting Wikipedia Hyperlinks

no code implementations NAACL 2021 Iacer Calixto, Alessandro Raganato, Tommaso Pasini

Further adding extra languages lead to improvements in most tasks up to a certain point, but overall we found it non-trivial to scale improvements in model transferability by training on ever increasing amounts of Wikipedia languages.

ESC: Redesigning WSD with Extractive Sense Comprehension

1 code implementation NAACL 2021 Edoardo Barba, Tommaso Pasini, Roberto Navigli

By means of an extensive array of experiments, we show that ESC unleashes the full potential of our model, leading it to outdo all of its competitors and to set a new state of the art on the English WSD task.

Sense-Annotated Corpora for Word Sense Disambiguation in Multiple Languages and Domains

no code implementations LREC 2020 Bianca Scarlini, Tommaso Pasini, Roberto Navigli

This limits the range of action of deep-learning approaches, which today are at the base of any NLP task and are hungry for data.

Just ``OneSeC'' for Producing Multilingual Sense-Annotated Data

no code implementations ACL 2019 Bianca Scarlini, Tommaso Pasini, Roberto Navigli

The well-known problem of knowledge acquisition is one of the biggest issues in Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD), where annotated data are still scarce in English and almost absent in other languages.
