Improving Grammatical Error Correction via Pre-Training a Copy-Augmented Architecture with Unlabeled Data (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural machine translation systems have become state-of-the-art approaches for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) task. |
| Approach: | They propose a copy-augmented architecture for the Grammatical Error Correction task by copying unchanged words from the source sentence to the target sentence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed architecture outperforms all recently published state-of-the-art results by a large margin. |
Denoising based Sequence-to-Sequence Pre-training for Text Generation (D19-1)

| Challenge: | PoDA pre-trains encoders and decoders by denoising noise-corrupted text . Unlike encoder-only or decode-only methods, it can be used for text generation tasks without using any task-specific techniques. |
| Approach: | They propose a sequence-to-sequence (seq2sequ) pre-training method PoDA which denoises autoencoders by denoising noise-corrupted text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves model performance over strong baselines without using any task-specific techniques and significantly speed up convergence. |
Multi-Perspective Context Aggregation for Semi-supervised Cloze-style Reading Comprehension (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have shown that cloze-style reading comprehension is a popular task for measuring the progress of natural language understanding. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-perspective framework which can be seen as joint training of heterogeneous experts and aggregate context information from different perspectives. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves new state-of-the-art over previous strong baselines on a recently released cloze-test dataset. |
