Rethinking Text Attribute Transfer: A Lexical Analysis

1 code implementation WS 2019 Yao Fu, Hao Zhou, Jiaze Chen, Lei LI

We apply this framework to existing datasets and models and show that: (1) the pivot words are strong features for the classification of sentence attributes; (2) to change the attribute of a sentence, many datasets only requires to change certain pivot words; (3) consequently, many transfer models only perform the lexical-level modification, while leaving higher-level sentence structures unchanged.

Large-scale traffic signal control using machine learning: some traffic flow considerations

no code implementations7 Aug 2019 Jorge A. Laval, Hao Zhou

We find that: (i) a policy trained with supervised learning with only two examples outperforms LQF, (ii) random search is able to generate near-optimal policies, (iii) the prevailing average network occupancy during training is the major determinant of the effectiveness of DRL policies.

Stochastic Wasserstein Autoencoder for Probabilistic Sentence Generation

1 code implementation NAACL 2019 Hareesh Bahuleyan, Lili Mou, Hao Zhou, Olga Vechtomova

The variational autoencoder (VAE) imposes a probabilistic distribution (typically Gaussian) on the latent space and penalizes the Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence between the posterior and prior.
