Distantly Supervised Named Entity Recognition using Positive-Unlabeled Learning (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Empirical studies on four public NER datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to perform named entity recognition using unlabeled data and named entity dictionaries. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can estimate task loss as if there is fully labeled data. |

| Challenge: | Document translation is a challenge for machine translation systems that focus on textual content at the sentence level, ignoring global context and visual layout structure. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark dataset to evaluate document-level NMT systems . they use visual cues to preserve reading order and contiguous blocks of text . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmarks assess document-level NMT systems on the comprehensive task of translating semi-structured documents. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to textual robustness evaluation focus on slightly modifying the input data, which maintains the original meaning and results in a different prediction. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual robustness evaluation toolkit for NLP that integrates universal text transformations, task-specific transformations and adversarial attack. |
| Outcome: | The toolkit includes universal text transformation, task-specific transformation, adversarial attack, subpopulation, and their combinations to provide comprehensive robustness analyses. |
Tasty Burgers, Soggy Fries: Probing Aspect Robustness in Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing ABSA test sets cannot be used to distinguish the sentiment of the target aspect from the non-target aspect. |
| Approach: | They propose a simple but effective approach to enrich ABSA test sets by disentangle the confounding sentiments of non-target aspects from the target aspect’s sentiment. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can distinguish the sentiment of the non-target aspects from the target aspect’s sentiment by using the Aspect Robustness Test Set (ARTS). |
