Universal Grammatical Dependencies for Portuguese with CINTIL Data, LX Processing and CLARIN support (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new collection of quality language resources is presented for the computational processing of the Portuguese language . the framework for the mapping between linguistic form and meaning is centered on the notion of grammatical relation . |
| Approach: | They propose a new set of quality language resources for the computational processing of the Portuguese language under the Universal Dependencies framework. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework provides for the mapping between linguistic form and meaning representations. |
Shortcutted Commonsense: Data Spuriousness in Deep Learning of Commonsense Reasoning (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has found that commonsense reasoning models are learning transferable generalizations . commonsensibility is a human capacity that has been a core challenge to Artificial Intelligence since its inception. |
| Approach: | They conduct an analysis of benchmarks that involve commonsense reasoning . they find that most datasets experimented with are problematic . commonsensence is a quintessential human capacity . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is able to perform well on commonsense reasoning tasks . the model is not learning transferable generalizations or taking advantage of shortcuts . |
Hands-off Image Editing: Language-guided Editing without any Task-specific Labeling, Masking or even Training (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | State-of-the-art approaches to this task resort to supervised training and labelling, masking or training. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach that does without any task-specific supervision and offers thus a better potential for improvement. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves very competitive performance and scales up in a way that requires no task-specific supervision. |
