Using active learning to expand training data for implicit discourse relation recognition (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to determine semantic relations between text spans are limited in the field of discourse-level relation recognition. |
| Approach: | They propose to expand the training data set using the corpus of explicitly-related arguments by arbitrarily dropping the overtly presented discourse connectives. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model expands the training data set using the corpus of explicitly-related arguments, by arbitrarily dropping the overtly presented discourse connectives. |
Using a Penalty-based Loss Re-estimation Method to Improve Implicit Discourse Relation Classification (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | inessential words are unintentionally misjudged as attention-worthy words and assigned heavier attention weights than should be. |
| Approach: | They propose a penalty-based method to regulate the attention learning process by integrating penalty coefficients into the computation of loss by means of overstability of attention weight distributions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on the Penn Discourse TreeBank corpus and is competitive compared to the state-of-the-art methods. |
Incorporating Image Matching Into Knowledge Acquisition for Event-Oriented Relation Recognition (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Event relation recognition is a challenging language processing task because the query events are selected from different paragraphs in a document or even different documents, so there is lack of explicit clue. |
| Approach: | They propose to use image processing to acquire similar event instances and use image matching to approximate calculation between events. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs comparable to CNN while slightly better than LSTM on the ACE-R2 corpus. |
Interactively-Propagative Attention Learning for Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for discourse relation recognition use self-attention and interactive-attention mechanisms. |
| Approach: | They develop a propagative attention learning model using a cross-coupled two-channel network. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on the baseline models on a Penn Discourse Treebank. |
