Zero-shot Slot Filling with DPR and RAG

2 code implementations17 Apr 2021 Michael Glass, Gaetano Rossiello, Alfio Gliozzo

Recently, there has been a promising direction in evaluating language models in the same way we would evaluate knowledge bases, and the task of slot filling is the most suitable to this intent.

Capturing Row and Column Semantics in Transformer Based Question Answering over Tables

1 code implementation NAACL 2021 Michael Glass, Mustafa Canim, Alfio Gliozzo, Saneem Chemmengath, Vishwajeet Kumar, Rishav Chakravarti, Avi Sil, Feifei Pan, Samarth Bharadwaj, Nicolas Rodolfo Fauceglia

While this model yields extremely high accuracy at finding cell values on recent benchmarks, a second model we propose, called RCI representation, provides a significant efficiency advantage for online QA systems over tables by materializing embeddings for existing tables.

CLTR: An End-to-End, Transformer-Based System for Cell Level Table Retrieval and Table Question Answering

1 code implementation8 Jun 2021 Feifei Pan, Mustafa Canim, Michael Glass, Alfio Gliozzo, Peter Fox

We present the first end-to-end, transformer-based table question answering (QA) system that takes natural language questions and massive table corpus as inputs to retrieve the most relevant tables and locate the correct table cells to answer the question.

Discovering Implicit Knowledge with Unary Relations

1 code implementation ACL 2018 Michael Glass, Alfio Gliozzo

State-of-the-art relation extraction approaches are only able to recognize relationships between mentions of entity arguments stated explicitly in the text and typically localized to the same sentence.

A Dataset for Web-Scale Knowledge Base Population

1 code implementation European Semantic Web Conference 2018 Michael Glass, Alfio Gliozzo

Knowledge Base Population (KBP) is the task of building or extending a knowledge base from text, and systems for KBP have grown in capability and scope.

Scalable Hierarchical Clustering with Tree Grafting

1 code implementation31 Dec 2019 Nicholas Monath, Ari Kobren, Akshay Krishnamurthy, Michael Glass, Andrew McCallum

We introduce Grinch, a new algorithm for large-scale, non-greedy hierarchical clustering with general linkage functions that compute arbitrary similarity between two point sets.

Retrieval-Based Transformer for Table Augmentation

1 code implementation20 Jun 2023 Michael Glass, Xueqing Wu, Ankita Rajaram Naik, Gaetano Rossiello, Alfio Gliozzo

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach toward automatic data wrangling in an attempt to alleviate the effort of end-users, e. g. data analysts, in structuring dynamic views from data lakes in the form of tabular data.

Learning Relational Representations by Analogy using Hierarchical Siamese Networks

no code implementations NAACL 2019 Gaetano Rossiello, Alfio Gliozzo, Robert Farrell, Nicolas Fauceglia, Michael Glass

We address relation extraction as an analogy problem by proposing a novel approach to learn representations of relations expressed by their textual mentions.
