MDERank: A Masked Document Embedding Rank Approach for Unsupervised Keyphrase Extraction (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Keyphrase extraction (KPE) extracts phrases in a document that provide a concise summary of the core content. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised keyphrase extraction method that ranks candidates by similarity between embeddings of source document and masked document. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on six benchmarks . it achieves average 3.53 improvement over the existing method . |
Improved Universal Sentence Embeddings with Prompt-based Contrastive Learning and Energy-based Learning (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing contrastive methods for learning universal sentence embeddings have limitations due to their over-parameterization and poor performance under domain shift settings. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate an Energy-based Hinge loss to enhance the pairwise discriminative power of contrastive learning for sentence embeddings by combining PLMs with energy-based learning. |
| Outcome: | Empirical results show that the proposed method improves on seven standard semantic textual similarity tasks and a domain-shifted STS task. |
Global and Local Hierarchy-aware Contrastive Framework for Implicit Discourse Relation Recognition (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to integrate whole hierarchical information of senses into discourse relation representations for multi-level sense recognition ignore static hierarchic structure containing all senses and ignore hierarchically sense label sequence corresponding to each instance. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a GlObal and Local Hierarchy-aware Contrastive Framework to model two kinds of hierarchies with the aid of multi-task learning and contrastive learning to learn better representations of discourse relation relationships. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art models at all hierarchical levels on PDTB 2.0 and PDTP 3.0 datasets. |
Context Length Extension via Generalized Extrapolation Scale (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on extrapolating positional embedding (RoPE) has limited results in the application of long context language models. |
| Approach: | They propose a set of parameterized extrapolation functions applied to each layer and attention head to adaptively adjust its extrapolations scales. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves stable extrapolation on 64k contexts by training on 16k length text. |
