Translating Translationese: A Two-Step Approach to Unsupervised Machine Translation
Given a rough, word-by-word gloss of a source language sentence, target language natives can uncover the latent, fully-fluent rendering of the translation.
PaperRobot: Incremental Draft Generation of Scientific Ideas
We present a PaperRobot who performs as an automatic research assistant by (1) conducting deep understanding of a large collection of human-written papers in a target domain and constructing comprehensive background knowledge graphs (KGs); (2) creating new ideas by predicting links from the background KGs, by combining graph attention and contextual text attention; (3) incrementally writing some key elements of a new paper based on memory-attention networks: from the input title along with predicted related entities to generate a paper abstract, from the abstract to generate conclusion and future work, and finally from future work to generate a title for a follow-on paper.
Plan-And-Write: Towards Better Automatic Storytelling
Automatic storytelling is challenging since it requires generating long, coherent natural language to describes a sensible sequence of events.
Decipherment of Historical Manuscript Images
European libraries and archives are filled with enciphered manuscripts from the early modern period.
Describing a Knowledge Base
We aim to automatically generate natural language descriptions about an input structured knowledge base (KB).
Augmenting Statistical Machine Translation with Subword Translation of Out-of-Vocabulary Words
Most statistical machine translation systems cannot translate words that are unseen in the training data.
AMR Beyond the Sentence: the Multi-sentence AMR corpus
There are few corpora that endeavor to represent the semantic content of entire documents.
Creative Language Encoding under Censorship
People often create obfuscated language for online communication to avoid Internet censorship, share sensitive information, express strong sentiment or emotion, plan for secret actions, trade illegal products, or simply hold interesting conversations.
Out-of-the-box Universal Romanization Tool uroman
We present uroman, a tool for converting text in myriads of languages and scripts such as Chinese, Arabic and Cyrillic into a common Latin-script representation.
Translating a Language You Don't Know In the Chinese Room
In a corruption of John Searle{'}s famous AI thought experiment, the Chinese Room (Searle, 1980), we twist its original intent by enabling humans to translate text, e. g. from Uyghur to English, even if they don{'}t have any prior knowledge of the source language.
Fast Locality Sensitive Hashing for Beam Search on GPU
We present a GPU-based Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) algorithm to speed up beam search for sequence models.
Using Word Vectors to Improve Word Alignments for Low Resource Machine Translation
We present a method for improving word alignments using word similarities.
ELISA-EDL: A Cross-lingual Entity Extraction, Linking and Localization System
We demonstrate ELISA-EDL, a state-of-the-art re-trainable system to extract entity mentions from low-resource languages, link them to external English knowledge bases, and visualize locations related to disaster topics on a world heatmap.
Towards Controllable Story Generation
We present a general framework of analyzing existing story corpora to generate controllable and creative new stories.
Modeling Naive Psychology of Characters in Simple Commonsense Stories
Understanding a narrative requires reading between the lines and reasoning about the unspoken but obvious implications about events and people's mental states - a capability that is trivial for humans but remarkably hard for machines.
