Learning to Follow Object-Centric Image Editing Instructions Faithfully (2023.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: avrahami et al., 2022b,a): natural language instructions are often underspecified, requiring models to uncover their implicit meaning.
Approach: They propose to use paired data to model the implicit meaning of instructions . they also propose to ground the model to localize where the edit has to be performed .
Outcome: The proposed model performs better than state-of-the-art baselines on paired data, showing improvements in quality and faithfulness.

Understanding Pre-Editing for Black-Box Neural Machine Translation (2021.eacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: a study has demonstrated the effectiveness of pre-editing for black-box neural MT, but a deep understanding of what it is and how it works for black box NMT is lacking.
Approach: They investigated 6,652 instances of pre-editing across three translation directions, two MT systems and four text domains.
Outcome: The proposed method can be used in MT systems with black-box neural MT (NMT) but it is not yet fully understood in the literature.
