Bend but Don’t Break? Multi-Challenge Stress Test for QA Models (D19-58)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a gap remains in reasoning ability compared to a human, and performance tends to degrade when models are exposed to less-constrained tasks. |
| Approach: | They conduct extensive qualitative and quantitative analyses on the results of four models across four datasets . they relate common errors to model capabilities and discuss a way forward . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performance is based on the results of four models across four datasets. |
Multimodal, Multilingual Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion for Low-Resource Languages (D19-61)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (g2p) is a task of predicting the pronunciation of words from their orthographic representation. |
| Approach: | They propose to leverage audio data as an auxiliary modality in a multi-task training process to learn a more optimal grapheme representation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model reduces phoneme error rate to 2.46% on in-domain test set compared to unimodal spelling- pronunciation model. |
