Restoring and Mining the Records of the Joseon Dynasty via Neural Language Modeling and Machine Translation (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | voluminous historical records are difficult to fully utilize since they are written in ancient languages and some parts are damaged over time. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-task learning approach to restore and translate historical documents using a self-attention mechanism. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves the accuracy of the translation task over baselines without multi-task learning. |
CoBA: Counterbias Text Augmentation for Mitigating Various Spurious Correlations via Semantic Triples (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Spurious correlations are patterns that appear in datasets but do not represent genuine relationships. |
| Approach: | They propose a more general form of counterfactual data augmentation that tackles multiple biases . they propose 'CoBA' that decomposes text into subject-predicate-object triples and modifies them to disrupt spurious correlations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework reduces biases and strengthens out-of-distribution resilience. |
