Refining an Almost Clean Translation Memory Helps Machine Translation
While recent studies have been dedicated to cleaning very noisy parallel corpora to improve Machine Translation training, we focus in this work on filtering a large and mostly clean Translation Memory.
Exploiting Domain-Specific Knowledge for Judgment Prediction Is No Panacea
Legal judgment prediction (LJP) usually consists in a text classification task aimed at predicting the verdict on the basis of the fact description.
RW-KD: Sample-wise Loss Terms Re-Weighting for Knowledge Distillation
Knowledge Distillation (KD) is extensively used in Natural Language Processing to compress the pre-training and task-specific fine-tuning phases of large neural language models.
A Methodology for Building a Diachronic Dataset of Semantic Shifts and its Application to QC-FR-Diac-V1.0, a Free Reference for French
Different algorithms have been proposed to detect semantic shifts (changes in a word meaning over time) in a diachronic corpus.
Unsupervised multiple-choice question generation for out-of-domain Q&A fine-tuning
Pre-trained models have shown very good performances on a number of question answering benchmarks especially when fine-tuned on multiple question answering datasets at once.
Effective Data Augmentation for Sentence Classification Using One VAE per Class
In recent years, data augmentation has become an important field of machine learning.
A linguistically-motivated evaluation methodology for unraveling model's abilities in reading comprehension tasks
We introduce an evaluation methodology for reading comprehension tasks based on the intuition that certain examples, by the virtue of their linguistic complexity, consistently yield lower scores regardless of model size or architecture.
Part-Of-Speech Sensitivity of Routers in Mixture of Experts Models
This study investigates the behavior of model-integrated routers in Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, focusing on how tokens are routed based on their linguistic features, specifically Part-of-Speech (POS) tags.
$\textit{BenchIE}^{FL}$ : A Manually Re-Annotated Fact-Based Open Information Extraction Benchmark
Open Information Extraction (OIE) is a field of natural language processing that aims to present textual information in a format that allows it to be organized, analyzed and reflected upon.
CHARP: Conversation History AwaReness Probing for Knowledge-grounded Dialogue Systems
In this work, we dive deep into one of the popular knowledge-grounded dialogue benchmarks that focus on faithfulness, FaithDial.
EUROPA: A Legal Multilingual Keyphrase Generation Dataset
Keyphrase generation has primarily been explored within the context of academic research articles, with a particular focus on scientific domains and the English language.
On Evaluation Protocols for Data Augmentation in a Limited Data Scenario
Textual data augmentation (DA) is a prolific field of study where novel techniques to create artificial data are regularly proposed, and that has demonstrated great efficiency on small data settings, at least for text classification tasks.
On the importance of Data Scale in Pretraining Arabic Language Models
Pretraining monolingual language models have been proven to be vital for performance in Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks.
LABO: Towards Learning Optimal Label Regularization via Bi-level Optimization
Label Smoothing (LS) is another simple, versatile and efficient regularization which can be applied to various supervised classification tasks.
Improving Generalization of Pre-trained Language Models via Stochastic Weight Averaging
Moreover, we observe that this simple optimization technique is able to outperform the state-of-the-art KD methods for compact models.
Revisiting Pre-trained Language Models and their Evaluation for Arabic Natural Language Understanding
There is a growing body of work in recent years to develop pre-trained language models (PLMs) for the Arabic language.
CILDA: Contrastive Data Augmentation using Intermediate Layer Knowledge Distillation
Knowledge distillation (KD) is an efficient framework for compressing large-scale pre-trained language models.
JABER and SABER: Junior and Senior Arabic BERt
Language-specific pre-trained models have proven to be more accurate than multilingual ones in a monolingual evaluation setting, Arabic is no exception.
NATURE: Natural Auxiliary Text Utterances for Realistic Spoken Language Evaluation
We apply NATURE to common slot-filling and intent detection benchmarks and demonstrate that simple perturbations from the standard evaluation set by NATURE can deteriorate model performance significantly.
Pseudo Knowledge Distillation: Towards Learning Optimal Instance-specific Label Smoothing Regularization
Knowledge Distillation (KD) is an algorithm that transfers the knowledge of a trained, typically larger, neural network into another model under training.
Knowledge Distillation with Noisy Labels for Natural Language Understanding
Knowledge Distillation (KD) is extensively used to compress and deploy large pre-trained language models on edge devices for real-world applications.
RAIL-KD: RAndom Intermediate Layer Mapping for Knowledge Distillation
To address these problems, we propose a RAndom Intermediate Layer Knowledge Distillation (RAIL-KD) approach in which, intermediate layers from the teacher model are selected randomly to be distilled into the intermediate layers of the student model.
End-to-End Self-Debiasing Framework for Robust NLU Training
Existing Natural Language Understanding (NLU) models have been shown to incorporate dataset biases leading to strong performance on in-distribution (ID) test sets but poor performance on out-of-distribution (OOD) ones.
