Extractive Summarization of Long Documents by Combining Global and Local Context

1 code implementation IJCNLP 2019 Wen Xiao, Giuseppe Carenini

In this paper, we propose a novel neural single document extractive summarization model for long documents, incorporating both the global context of the whole document and the local context within the current topic.

Do We Really Need That Many Parameters In Transformer For Extractive Summarization? Discourse Can Help !

no code implementations EMNLP (CODI) 2020 Wen Xiao, Patrick Huber, Giuseppe Carenini

The multi-head self-attention of popular transformer models is widely used within Natural Language Processing (NLP), including for the task of extractive summarization.

Demoting the Lead Bias in News Summarization via Alternating Adversarial Learning

no code implementations ACL 2021 Linzi Xing, Wen Xiao, Giuseppe Carenini

In news articles the lead bias is a common phenomenon that usually dominates the learning signals for neural extractive summarizers, severely limiting their performance on data with different or even no bias.

W-RST: Towards a Weighted RST-style Discourse Framework

no code implementations ACL 2021 Patrick Huber, Wen Xiao, Giuseppe Carenini

Aiming for a better integration of data-driven and linguistically-inspired approaches, we explore whether RST Nuclearity, assigning a binary assessment of importance between text segments, can be replaced by automatically generated, real-valued scores, in what we call a Weighted-RST framework.

T3-Vis: a visual analytic framework for Training and fine-Tuning Transformers in NLP

1 code implementation31 Aug 2021 Raymond Li, Wen Xiao, Lanjun Wang, Hyeju Jang, Giuseppe Carenini

Transformers are the dominant architecture in NLP, but their training and fine-tuning is still very challenging.

PRIMERA: Pyramid-based Masked Sentence Pre-training for Multi-document Summarization

2 code implementations ACL 2022 Wen Xiao, Iz Beltagy, Giuseppe Carenini, Arman Cohan

We introduce PRIMERA, a pre-trained model for multi-document representation with a focus on summarization that reduces the need for dataset-specific architectures and large amounts of fine-tuning labeled data.

SensatUrban: Learning Semantics from Urban-Scale Photogrammetric Point Clouds

no code implementations12 Jan 2022 Qingyong Hu, Bo Yang, Sheikh Khalid, Wen Xiao, Niki Trigoni, Andrew Markham

Each point in the dataset has been labelled with fine-grained semantic annotations, resulting in a dataset that is three times the size of the previous existing largest photogrammetric point cloud dataset.

Entity-based SpanCopy for Abstractive Summarization to Improve the Factual Consistency

1 code implementation7 Sep 2022 Wen Xiao, Giuseppe Carenini

Despite the success of recent abstractive summarizers on automatic evaluation metrics, the generated summaries still present factual inconsistencies with the source document.

Attend to the Right Context: A Plug-and-Play Module for Content-Controllable Summarization

1 code implementation21 Dec 2022 Wen Xiao, Lesly Miculicich, Yang Liu, Pengcheng He, Giuseppe Carenini

Content-Controllable Summarization generates summaries focused on the given controlling signals.

Discourse Structure Extraction from Pre-Trained and Fine-Tuned Language Models in Dialogues

no code implementations12 Feb 2023 Chuyuan Li, Patrick Huber, Wen Xiao, Maxime Amblard, Chloé Braud, Giuseppe Carenini

As a result, we explore approaches to build discourse structures for dialogues, based on attention matrices from Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs).

Visual Analytics for Generative Transformer Models

no code implementations21 Nov 2023 Raymond Li, Ruixin Yang, Wen Xiao, Ahmed Aburaed, Gabriel Murray, Giuseppe Carenini

While transformer-based models have achieved state-of-the-art results in a variety of classification and generation tasks, their black-box nature makes them challenging for interpretability.

Safety Alignment in NLP Tasks: Weakly Aligned Summarization as an In-Context Attack

no code implementations12 Dec 2023 Yu Fu, Yufei Li, Wen Xiao, Cong Liu, Yue Dong

Recent developments in balancing the usefulness and safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) have raised a critical question: Are mainstream NLP tasks adequately aligned with safety consideration?
