Recovering Missing Characters in Old Hawaiian Writing (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Modern Hawaiian orthography includes characters for long vowels and glottal stops . manual transliteration is laborious when performed manually . |
| Approach: | They propose two methods to help transliterate Hawaiian between older and newer texts automatically using finite state transducers and a recurrent neural network language model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method solves the transliteration problem automatically using finite state transducers and a neural network language model. |
Make Up Your Mind! Adversarial Generation of Inconsistent Natural Language Explanations (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a promising research direction consists of designing neural models capable of generating natural language explanations for their predictions. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for sanity checking models against inconsistent explanations . they apply the framework to a state-of-the-art neural natural language inference model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can generate inconsistent explanations on a state-of-the-art model . it also addresses the problem of adversarial attacks with full target sequences . |
