Beyond English-Centric Bitexts for Better Multilingual Language Representation Learning

no code implementations26 Oct 2022 Barun Patra, Saksham Singhal, Shaohan Huang, Zewen Chi, Li Dong, Furu Wei, Vishrav Chaudhary, Xia Song

In this paper, we elaborate upon recipes for building multilingual representation models that are not only competitive with existing state-of-the-art models but are also more parameter efficient, thereby promoting better adoption in resource-constrained scenarios and practical applications.

Language Model Decoding as Likelihood-Utility Alignment

1 code implementation13 Oct 2022 Martin Josifoski, Maxime Peyrard, Frano Rajic, Jiheng Wei, Debjit Paul, Valentin Hartmann, Barun Patra, Vishrav Chaudhary, Emre Kiciman, Boi Faltings, Robert West

Specifically, by analyzing the correlation between the likelihood and the utility of predictions across a diverse set of tasks, we provide empirical evidence supporting the proposed taxonomy and a set of principles to structure reasoning when choosing a decoding algorithm.

On Efficiently Acquiring Annotations for Multilingual Models

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Joel Ruben Antony Moniz, Barun Patra, Matthew R. Gormley

When tasked with supporting multiple languages for a given problem, two approaches have arisen: training a model for each language with the annotation budget divided equally among them, and training on a high-resource language followed by zero-shot transfer to the remaining languages.

Invariant Language Modeling

1 code implementation16 Oct 2021 Maxime Peyrard, Sarvjeet Singh Ghotra, Martin Josifoski, Vidhan Agarwal, Barun Patra, Dean Carignan, Emre Kiciman, Robert West

In particular, we adapt a game-theoretic formulation of IRM (IRM-games) to language models, where the invariance emerges from a specific training schedule in which all the environments compete to optimize their own environment-specific loss by updating subsets of the model in a round-robin fashion.

ScopeIt: Scoping Task Relevant Sentences in Documents

no code implementations COLING 2020 Vishwas Suryanarayanan, Barun Patra, Pamela Bhattacharya, Chala Fufa, Charles Lee

Intelligent assistants like Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are trained to parse information when the conversation is synchronous and short; however, for email-based conversational agents, the communication is asynchronous, and often contains information irrelevant to the assistant.

Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Semi-supervision in Non-Isometric Embedding Spaces

1 code implementation ACL 2019 Barun Patra, Joel Ruben Antony Moniz, Sarthak Garg, Matthew R. Gormley, Graham Neubig

We then propose Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Semi-Supervision (BLISS) --- a semi-supervised approach that relaxes the isometric assumption while leveraging both limited aligned bilingual lexicons and a larger set of unaligned word embeddings, as well as a novel hubness filtering technique.

Compression and Localization in Reinforcement Learning for ATARI Games

no code implementations20 Apr 2019 Joel Ruben Antony Moniz, Barun Patra, Sarthak Garg

Deep neural networks have become commonplace in the domain of reinforcement learning, but are often expensive in terms of the number of parameters needed.

Towards Understanding and Answering Multi-Sentence Recommendation Questions on Tourism

no code implementations5 Jan 2018 Danish Contractor, Barun Patra, Mausam Singla, Parag Singla

We introduce the first system towards the novel task of answering complex multisentence recommendation questions in the tourism domain.
