SupCL-Seq: Supervised Contrastive Learning for Downstream Optimized Sequence Representations (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | SupCL-Seq extends contrastive learning from computer vision to sequence classification tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose a supervised alternative to Masked Language Modeling (MLM) that extends contrastive learning to sequence optimization in NLP by altering the dropout mask probability in standard Transformer architectures. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method leads to large gains on the GLUE benchmark, including 6% absolute improvement on CoLA, 5.4% on MRPC, 4.7% on RTE and 2.6% on STS-B. |
A Repository of Corpora for Summarization (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Summarization corpora are numerous but fragmented, making it difficult to pinpoint corporata best suited for a given summarization task. |
| Approach: | They propose a repository containing corpora available to train and evaluate automatic summarization systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system is based on a repository of corpora available for summarization tasks. |
Exploring a Unified Sequence-To-Sequence Transformer for Medical Product Safety Monitoring in Social Media (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Adverse Events (AEs) are harmful events resulting from the use of medical products. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that combines sequence-to-sequence learning with language transfer capabilities to improve model robustness. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves strong performance over baselines on English benchmarks. |
