LaSQuE: Improved Zero-Shot Classification from Explanations Through Quantifier Modeling and Curriculum Learning (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Several recent approaches have explored training machine learning models via natural language supervision, but they fail to leverage linguistic quantifiers and mimic humans in compositionally learning complex tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that can learn zero-shot classifiers from language explanations by using three new strategies: (1) modeling the semantics of linguistic quantifiers in explanations; (2) aggregating information from multiple explanations using an attention-based mechanism; (3) model training via curriculum learning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms previous work showing an absolute gain of up to 7% in generalizing to unseen real-world classification tasks. |
