MultiReQA: A Cross-Domain Evaluation forRetrieval Question Answering Models

1 code implementation EACL (AdaptNLP) 2021 Mandy Guo, Yinfei Yang, Daniel Cer, Qinlan Shen, Noah Constant

Retrieval question answering (ReQA) is the task of retrieving a sentence-level answer to a question from an open corpus (Ahmad et al., 2019). This dataset paper presents MultiReQA, a new multi-domain ReQA evaluation suite composed of eight retrieval QA tasks drawn from publicly available QA datasets.

mLongT5: A Multilingual and Efficient Text-To-Text Transformer for Longer Sequences

1 code implementation18 May 2023 David Uthus, Santiago Ontañón, Joshua Ainslie, Mandy Guo

We present our work on developing a multilingual, efficient text-to-text transformer that is suitable for handling long inputs.

CoLT5: Faster Long-Range Transformers with Conditional Computation

no code implementations17 Mar 2023 Joshua Ainslie, Tao Lei, Michiel de Jong, Santiago Ontañón, Siddhartha Brahma, Yury Zemlyanskiy, David Uthus, Mandy Guo, James Lee-Thorp, Yi Tay, Yun-Hsuan Sung, Sumit Sanghai

Many natural language processing tasks benefit from long inputs, but processing long documents with Transformers is expensive -- not only due to quadratic attention complexity but also from applying feedforward and projection layers to every token.

Towards Universality in Multilingual Text Rewriting

no code implementations30 Jul 2021 Xavier Garcia, Noah Constant, Mandy Guo, Orhan Firat

In this work, we take the first steps towards building a universal rewriter: a model capable of rewriting text in any language to exhibit a wide variety of attributes, including styles and languages, while preserving as much of the original semantics as possible.

TextSETTR: Few-Shot Text Style Extraction and Tunable Targeted Restyling

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Parker Riley, Noah Constant, Mandy Guo, Girish Kumar, David Uthus, Zarana Parekh

Unlike previous approaches requiring style-labeled training data, our method makes use of readily-available unlabeled text by relying on the implicit connection in style between adjacent sentences, and uses labeled data only at inference time.

Neural Retrieval for Question Answering with Cross-Attention Supervised Data Augmentation

no code implementations ACL 2021 Yinfei Yang, Ning Jin, Kuo Lin, Mandy Guo, Daniel Cer

Independently computing embeddings for questions and answers results in late fusion of information related to matching questions to their answers.

Bridging the Gap for Tokenizer-Free Language Models

no code implementations27 Aug 2019 Dokook Choe, Rami Al-Rfou, Mandy Guo, Heeyoung Lee, Noah Constant

Purely character-based language models (LMs) have been lagging in quality on large scale datasets, and current state-of-the-art LMs rely on word tokenization.
