Similarizing the Influence of Words with Contrastive Learning to Defend Word-level Adversarial Text Attack (2023.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Neural language models are vulnerable to word-level adversarial text attacks . previous word-based search methods assume important words influence prediction .
Approach: They propose a method for similarizing the influence of words with contrast learning that encourages model to learn sentence representations in which words of varying importance have a more uniform influence on prediction.
Outcome: The proposed method is compatible with various training methods and improves model robustness against various adversarial attacks.
Align-smatch: A Novel Evaluation Method for Chinese Abstract Meaning Representation Parsing based on Alignment of Concept and Relation (2022.lrec-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Abstract Meaning Representation abstracts the meaning of sentences into a single-rooted, acyclic and directed graph.
Approach: They propose to use a metric to evaluate concept alignment and relation alignment to improve Chinese AMR parsing evaluation methods.
Outcome: The proposed method is more robust and compatible with concept alignment and relation alignment and more robust in evaluating arcs.
FinMME: Benchmark Dataset for Financial Multi-Modal Reasoning Evaluation (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have experienced rapid development in recent years, but there is a notable lack of effective and specialized multimodal evaluation datasets in the financial domain.
Approach: They introduce FinMME, a multimodal large language model with 11,000 financial research samples and 20 annotators.
Outcome: The proposed model performs better than state-of-the-art models, highlighting its challenging nature.
Contrastive Learning with Adversarial Examples for Alleviating Pathology of Language Model (2023.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing interpretation methods fail to obtain faithful attributions on these models, thereby failing to reveal potential flaws and biases.
Approach: They propose a Contrastive learning regularization method which calibrates the sentence representation of out-of-distribution examples and utilizes adversarial examples to introduce direction information in regularization.
Outcome: The proposed method alleviates the model pathology while impacting generalization ability on in-distribution examples and thus helps interpretation methods obtain more faithful results.
