Logic-Guided Message Generation from Raw Real-Time Sensor Data

no code implementations LREC 2022 Ernie Chang, Alisa Kovtunova, Stefan Borgwardt, Vera Demberg, Kathryn Chapman, Hui-Syuan Yeh

We find that formulating the task as an end-to-end problem leads to two major challenges in content selection – the sensor data is both redundant and diverse across environments, thereby making it hard for the encoders to select and reason on the data.

Label distributions help implicit discourse relation classification

no code implementations COLING (CODI, CRAC) 2022 Frances Yung, Kaveri Anuranjana, Merel Scholman, Vera Demberg

Implicit discourse relations can convey more than one relation sense, but much of the research on discourse relations has focused on single relation senses.

A practical perspective on connective generation

no code implementations CODI 2021 Frances Yung, Merel Scholman, Vera Demberg

In the current contribution, we analyse whether a sophisticated connective generation module is necessary to select a connective, or whether this can be solved with simple methods (such as random choice between connectives that are known to express a given relation, or usage of a generic language model).

Programmable Annotation with Diversed Heuristics and Data Denoising

no code implementations COLING 2022 Ernie Chang, Alex Marin, Vera Demberg

To this end, we propose a novel data programming framework that can jointly construct labeled data for language generation and understanding tasks – by allowing the annotators to modify an automatically-inferred alignment rule set between sequence labels and text, instead of writing rules from scratch.
