Does My Representation Capture X? Probe-Ably

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Deborah Ferreira, Julia Rozanova, Mokanarangan Thayaparan, Marco Valentino, André Freitas

Probing (or diagnostic classification) has become a popular strategy for investigating whether a given set of intermediate features is present in the representations of neural models.

Diff-Explainer: Differentiable Convex Optimization for Explainable Multi-hop Inference

no code implementations7 May 2021 Mokanarangan Thayaparan, Marco Valentino, Deborah Ferreira, Julia Rozanova, André Freitas

This paper presents Diff-Explainer, the first hybrid framework for explainable multi-hop inference that integrates explicit constraints with neural architectures through differentiable convex optimization.

Supporting Context Monotonicity Abstractions in Neural NLI Models

no code implementations ACL (NALOMA, IWCS) 2021 Julia Rozanova, Deborah Ferreira, Mokanarangan Thayaparan, Marco Valentino, André Freitas

Natural language contexts display logical regularities with respect to substitutions of related concepts: these are captured in a functional order-theoretic property called monotonicity.

TextGraphs 2021 Shared Task on Multi-Hop Inference for Explanation Regeneration

1 code implementation NAACL (TextGraphs) 2021 Peter Jansen, Mokanarangan Thayaparan, Marco Valentino, Dmitry Ustalov

While previous editions of this shared task aimed to evaluate explanatory completeness – finding a set of facts that form a complete inference chain, without gaps, to arrive from question to correct answer, this 2021 instantiation concentrates on the subtask of determining relevance in large multi-hop explanations.

TextGraphs 2022 Shared Task on Natural Language Premise Selection

1 code implementation COLING (TextGraphs) 2022 Marco Valentino, Deborah Ferreira, Mokanarangan Thayaparan, André Freitas, Dmitry Ustalov

In this summary paper, we present the results of the 1st edition of the NLPS task, providing a description of the evaluation data, and the participating systems.

To be or not to be an Integer? Encoding Variables for Mathematical Text

no code implementations Findings (ACL) 2022 Deborah Ferreira, Mokanarangan Thayaparan, Marco Valentino, Julia Rozanova, Andre Freitas

The application of Natural Language Inference (NLI) methods over large textual corpora can facilitate scientific discovery, reducing the gap between current research and the available large-scale scientific knowledge.
