| Challenge: | Existing metrics for evaluating functional correctness of SQL queries are prone to false positives due to inadequately prepared test databases. |
| Approach: | They propose a graph-based metric that uses a relational operator tree to extract rich semantic information from the logical execution plan of SQL queries and embed it into a diagram. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method eliminates the need for extensive test database preparation and performs graph matching on unseen SQL queries. |
A Reinforced Generation of Adversarial Examples for Neural Machine Translation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural machine translation systems fail on less decent inputs, which may harm the credibility of these systems. |
| Approach: | They propose a paradigm that generates adversarial examples using reinforcement learning to expose pitfalls for a given performance metric. |
| Outcome: | The proposed paradigm produces stable attacks with meaning-preserving adversarial examples. |
Non-Parametric Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Neural Machine Translation (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | kNN-MT is a non-parametric method that uses nearest neighbor retrieval to translate out-of-domain sentences, rare words, etc. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that directly uses in-domain monolingual sentences to build an effective datastore for k-nearest-neighbor retrieval. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves translation accuracy with target-side monolingual data while achieving comparable performance with back-translation. |
