Sentence-level Planning for Especially Abstractive Summarization
Abstractive summarization models heavily rely on copy mechanisms, such as the pointer network or attention, to achieve good performance, measured by textual overlap with reference summaries.
Prompt-free and Efficient Few-shot Learning with Language Models
Current methods for few-shot fine-tuning of pretrained masked language models (PLMs) require carefully engineered prompts and verbalizers for each new task to convert examples into a cloze-format that the PLM can score.
Nonparametric Variational Regularisation of Pretrained Transformers
We extend the NVIB framework to replace all types of attention functions in Transformers, and show that existing pretrained Transformers can be reinterpreted as Nonparametric Variational (NV) models using a proposed identity initialisation.

We argue that Transformers are essentially graph-to-graph models, with sequences just being a special case.

HyperMixer: An MLP-based Low Cost Alternative to Transformers
We find that existing architectures such as MLPMixer, which achieves token mixing through a static MLP applied to each feature independently, are too detached from the inductive biases required for natural language understanding.
Bag-of-Vectors Autoencoders for Unsupervised Conditional Text Generation
We address this issue by extending their method to Bag-of-Vectors Autoencoders (BoV-AEs), which encode the text into a variable-size bag of vectors that grows with the size of the text, as in attention-based models.
Imposing Relation Structure in Language-Model Embeddings Using Contrastive Learning
Though language model text embeddings have revolutionized NLP research, their ability to capture high-level semantic information, such as relations between entities in text, is limited.

Weakly-Supervised Concept-based Adversarial Learning for Cross-lingual Word Embeddings
Distributed representations of words which map each word to a continuous vector have proven useful in capturing important linguistic information not only in a single language but also across different languages.
Measuring Societal Biases from Text Corpora with Smoothed First-Order Co-occurrence
The common approach to measuring such biases using a corpus is by calculating the similarities between the embedding vector of a word (like nurse) and the vectors of the representative words of the concepts of interest (such as genders).
