An Effective Transition-based Model for Discontinuous NER

1 code implementation ACL 2020 Xiang Dai, Sarvnaz Karimi, Ben Hachey, Cecile Paris

Unlike widely used Named Entity Recognition (NER) data sets in generic domains, biomedical NER data sets often contain mentions consisting of discontinuous spans.

Cross-Target Stance Classification with Self-Attention Networks

1 code implementation ACL 2018 Chang Xu, Cecile Paris, Surya Nepal, Ross Sparks

In stance classification, the target on which the stance is made defines the boundary of the task, and a classifier is usually trained for prediction on the same target.

Senti-Attend: Image Captioning using Sentiment and Attention

no code implementations24 Nov 2018 Omid Mohamad Nezami, Mark Dras, Stephen Wan, Cecile Paris

However, such models typically have difficulty in balancing the semantic aspects of the image and the non-factual dimensions of the caption; in addition, it can be observed that humans may focus on different aspects of an image depending on the chosen sentiment or style of the caption.

Image Captioning using Facial Expression and Attention

no code implementations8 Aug 2019 Omid Mohamad Nezami, Mark Dras, Stephen Wan, Cecile Paris

An analysis of the generated captions finds that, perhaps unexpectedly, the improvement in caption quality appears to come not from the addition of adjectives linked to emotional aspects of the images, but from more variety in the actions described in the captions.

Towards Generating Stylized Image Captions via Adversarial Training

no code implementations8 Aug 2019 Omid Mohamad Nezami, Mark Dras, Stephen Wan, Cecile Paris, Len Hamey

While most image captioning aims to generate objective descriptions of images, the last few years have seen work on generating visually grounded image captions which have a specific style (e. g., incorporating positive or negative sentiment).
