Improved Word Sense Disambiguation with Enhanced Sense Representations

1 code implementation Findings (EMNLP) 2021 Yang song, Xin Cai Ong, Hwee Tou Ng, Qian Lin

Current state-of-the-art supervised word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems (such as GlossBERT and bi-encoder model) yield surprisingly good results by purely leveraging pre-trained language models and short dictionary definitions (or glosses) of the different word senses.

On the Optimality of Misspecified Kernel Ridge Regression

no code implementations12 May 2023 Haobo Zhang, Yicheng Li, Weihao Lu, Qian Lin

In the misspecified kernel ridge regression problem, researchers usually assume the underground true function $f_{\rho}^{*} \in [\mathcal{H}]^{s}$, a less-smooth interpolation space of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) $\mathcal{H}$ for some $s\in (0, 1)$.

Kernel interpolation generalizes poorly

no code implementations28 Mar 2023 Yicheng Li, Haobo Zhang, Qian Lin

One of the most interesting problems in the recent renaissance of the studies in kernel regression might be whether the kernel interpolation can generalize well, since it may help us understand the `benign overfitting henomenon' reported in the literature on deep networks.
