In this work, we train a language model for argument generation that can be controlled on a fine-grained level to generate sentence-level arguments for a given topic, stance, and aspect.

Deep pre-trained contextualized encoders like BERT (Delvin et al., 2019) demonstrate remarkable performance on a range of downstream tasks.

Neural models for response generation produce responses that are semantically plausible but not necessarily factually consistent with facts describing the speaker's persona.

The main goal behind state-of-the-art pre-trained multilingual models such as multilingual BERT and XLM-R is enabling and bootstrapping NLP applications in low-resource languages through zero-shot or few-shot cross-lingual transfer.

Models for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks often rely on the idiosyncratic biases of the dataset, which make them brittle against test cases outside the training distribution.

We show that by separating the two stages, i. e., knowledge extraction and knowledge composition, the classifier can effectively exploit the representations learned from multiple tasks in a non-destructive manner.

We compare different models for low resource multi-task sequence tagging that leverage dependencies between label sequences for different tasks.

Existing approaches to active learning maximize the system performance by sampling unlabeled instances for annotation that yield the most efficient training.

Following the major success of neural language models (LMs) such as BERT or GPT-2 on a variety of language understanding tasks, recent work focused on injecting (structured) knowledge from external resources into these models.

We then probe embeddings in a multilingual setup with design choices that lie in a 'stable region', as we identify for English, and find that results on English do not transfer to other languages.

We present Graformer, a novel Transformer-based encoder-decoder architecture for graph-to-text generation.
