Show Me More Details: Discovering Hierarchies of Procedures from Semi-structured Web Data (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work has treated procedures as shallow structures without modeling the parent-child relation. |
| Approach: | They propose to construct an open-domain hierarchical knowledge-base (KB) of procedures based on wikiHow . they link steps in an article to other articles with similar goals, recursively building the KB . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly outperforms baselines according to automatic evaluation, human judgment, and application to downstream tasks such as instructional video retrieval. |

Benchmarking Hierarchical Script Knowledge (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Understanding procedural language requires reasoning about hierarchical and temporal relations between events. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchical script learning dataset and a cloze task to match video captions with missing procedural details. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model matches video captions with missing procedural details to find out if they can understand the language. |
Take a Break in the Middle: Investigating Subgoals towards Hierarchical Script Generation (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work assumes that events are sequentially arranged in a script, while this assumption leads to linear generation that is far from sufficient for comprehensively acquiring the representation about how events are organized towards a task goal. |
| Approach: | They propose to extend goal-oriented Script Generation task from the perspective of cognitive theory by incorporating subgoals into hierarchical script generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on a new dataset and human evaluation metrics. |

| Approach: | They propose a method that deconstructs complex real-world questions into a graph . they quantify forward discrepancy, a discrepany in LLM performance on simpler sub-problems . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that smaller models exhibit more discrepancies than larger models . it also shows that guiding models from simpler to complex questions improves performance . |
HyHTM: Hyperbolic Geometry-based Hierarchical Topic Model (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Hierarchical Topic Models (HTMs) often produce hierarchies where lower-level topics are unrelated and not specific enough to their higher-level subjects. |
| Approach: | They propose a Hyperbolic geometry-based Hierarchical Topic Model that incorporates hierarchical information from hyperbolic geometrics to explicitly model hierarchies in topic models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is significantly faster and leaves a much smaller memory footprint than the best-performing baseline. |
Structured Self-Supervised Pretraining for Commonsense Knowledge Graph Completion (2021.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches focus on generating concepts that have direct and obvious relationships with existing concepts and lack an ability to generate unobvious concepts. |
| Approach: | They propose a general graph-to-paths pretraining framework that leverages high-order structures in CKGs to capture high-level relationships between concepts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can capture high-order relationships between concepts in four special cases: long path, path-to-path, router, and graph-node-path. |
