Challenge: Various annotation tasks require a complex hierarchical structure over nodes, where each node is a cluster of items.
Approach: They propose an open source tool that incrementally constructs clusters and hierarchy simultaneously over any type of text.
Outcome: The proposed approach significantly reduces annotation time and guarantees transitivity at the cluster and hierarchy levels.

Climbing the Tower of Treebanks: Improving Low-Resource Dependency Parsing via Hierarchical Source Selection (2021.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent work on multilingual dependency parsing focused on developing highly multilingual parsers . a recent major paradigm shift in NLP towards largescale pretrained language models has reduced the downstream relevance of supervised syntactic parse.
Approach: They propose a heuristic approach to multilingual dependency parsing that heurs out the "one model to rule them all" approach by hierarchically clustering all Universal Dependencies languages based on their syntactic similarity .
Outcome: The proposed approach outperforms a "one model to rule them all" approach with a heuristic selection of languages and treebanks for a target language.
DocHieNet: A Large and Diverse Dataset for Document Hierarchy Parsing (2024.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods for document hierarchy parsing are limited due to the small scale and inconsistency of datasets.
Approach: They propose a document hierarchy parsing dataset to compensate for the data scarcity problem and propose 'dHP' framework to grasp fine-grained text content and coarse-grounded pattern at layout element level.
Outcome: The proposed framework grasps both fine-grained text content and coarse-grounded pattern at layout element level, enhancing the capacity of pre-trained text-layout models in handling multi-page and multi-level challenges.

Approach: They propose a cascade binary tagging framework that models relations as functions that map subjects to objects in a sentence.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two datasets . it outperformed baseline methods by 17.5 and 30.2 absolute gains .
Beyond Generic Summarization: A Multi-faceted Hierarchical Summarization Corpus of Large Heterogeneous Data (L18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Automated summarization has focused on ten to twenty documents, typically news articles, but could in theory analyze hundreds of documents from a wide range of sources and provide an overview to the interested reader.
Approach: They propose a method for creating hierarchical summarization corpora from large, heterogeneous document collections by crowdsourcing relevant content and asking trained annotators to order the relevant information hierarchically.
Outcome: The proposed method can be used to develop and evaluate hierarchical summarization systems.

Exploiting Global and Local Hierarchies for Hierarchical Text Classification (2022.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing methods encode label hierarchy in a global view, which makes them hard to exploit hierarchical information.
Approach: They propose to leverage label hierarchy in multi-label text classification by encoding label hierarchy as a static hierarchical structure containing all labels.
Outcome: The proposed method achieves significant improvement on three benchmark datasets compared with the state-of-the-art method HGCLR.
