Plug and Play with Prompts: A Prompt Tuning Approach for Controlling Text Generation

no code implementations8 Apr 2024 Rohan Deepak Ajwani, Zining Zhu, Jonathan Rose, Frank Rudzicz

Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown exceptional language generation capabilities in response to text-based prompts.

A State-Vector Framework for Dataset Effects

1 code implementation17 Oct 2023 Esmat Sahak, Zining Zhu, Frank Rudzicz

The impressive success of recent deep neural network (DNN)-based systems is significantly influenced by the high-quality datasets used in training.

Measuring Information in Text Explanations

no code implementations6 Oct 2023 Zining Zhu, Frank Rudzicz

Text-based explanation is a particularly promising approach in explainable AI, but the evaluation of text explanations is method-dependent.

CCGen: Explainable Complementary Concept Generation in E-Commerce

no code implementations19 May 2023 Jie Huang, Yifan Gao, Zheng Li, Jingfeng Yang, Yangqiu Song, Chao Zhang, Zining Zhu, Haoming Jiang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Bing Yin

We propose and study Complementary Concept Generation (CCGen): given a concept of interest, e. g., "Digital Cameras", generating a list of complementary concepts, e. g., 1) Camera Lenses 2) Batteries 3) Camera Cases 4) Memory Cards 5) Battery Chargers.

Predicting Fine-Tuning Performance with Probing

1 code implementation13 Oct 2022 Zining Zhu, Soroosh Shahtalebi, Frank Rudzicz

Large NLP models have recently shown impressive performance in language understanding tasks, typically evaluated by their fine-tuned performance.

On the data requirements of probing

1 code implementation Findings (ACL) 2022 Zining Zhu, Jixuan Wang, Bai Li, Frank Rudzicz

As large and powerful neural language models are developed, researchers have been increasingly interested in developing diagnostic tools to probe them.

Neural reality of argument structure constructions

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Bai Li, Zining Zhu, Guillaume Thomas, Frank Rudzicz, Yang Xu

Second, in a "Jabberwocky" priming-based experiment, we find that LMs associate ASCs with meaning, even in semantically nonsensical sentences.

Quantifying the Task-Specific Information in Text-Based Classifications

no code implementations17 Oct 2021 Zining Zhu, Aparna Balagopalan, Marzyeh Ghassemi, Frank Rudzicz

This framework allows us to compare across datasets, saying that, apart from a set of ``shortcut features'', classifying each sample in the Multi-NLI task involves around 0. 4 nats more TSI than in the Quora Question Pair.

An unsupervised framework for tracing textual sources of moral change

1 code implementation Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Aida Ramezani, Zining Zhu, Frank Rudzicz, Yang Xu

Morality plays an important role in social well-being, but people's moral perception is not stable and changes over time.

What do writing features tell us about AI papers?

1 code implementation13 Jul 2021 Zining Zhu, Bai Li, Yang Xu, Frank Rudzicz

As the numbers of submissions to conferences grow quickly, the task of assessing the quality of academic papers automatically, convincingly, and with high accuracy attracts increasing attention.

How is BERT surprised? Layerwise detection of linguistic anomalies

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Bai Li, Zining Zhu, Guillaume Thomas, Yang Xu, Frank Rudzicz

Transformer language models have shown remarkable ability in detecting when a word is anomalous in context, but likelihood scores offer no information about the cause of the anomaly.

Semantic coordinates analysis reveals language changes in the AI field

no code implementations1 Nov 2020 Zining Zhu, Yang Xu, Frank Rudzicz

Semantic shifts can reflect changes in beliefs across hundreds of years, but it is less clear whether trends in fast-changing communities across a short time can be detected.

An information theoretic view on selecting linguistic probes

no code implementations EMNLP 2020 Zining Zhu, Frank Rudzicz

Hewitt and Liang (2019) showed that a high performance on diagnostic classification itself is insufficient, because it can be attributed to either "the representation being rich in knowledge", or "the probe learning the task", which Pimentel et al. (2020) challenged.

Robustness against the channel effect in pathological voice detection

no code implementations26 Nov 2018 Yi-Te Hsu, Zining Zhu, Chi-Te Wang, Shih-Hau Fang, Frank Rudzicz, Yu Tsao

In this study, we propose a detection system for pathological voice, which is robust against the channel effect.

Deconfounding age effects with fair representation learning when assessing dementia

no code implementations19 Jul 2018 Zining Zhu, Jekaterina Novikova, Frank Rudzicz

One of the most prevalent symptoms among the elderly population, dementia, can be detected by classifiers trained on linguistic features extracted from narrative transcripts.

Representation Learning

Semi-supervised classification by reaching consensus among modalities

no code implementations23 May 2018 Zining Zhu, Jekaterina Novikova, Frank Rudzicz

Deep learning has demonstrated abilities to learn complex structures, but they can be restricted by available data.
