An Unsupervised Framework for Adaptive Context-aware Simplified-Traditional Chinese Character Conversion (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Traditional Chinese characters are still widely used in many areas of China . traditional methods to convert between simplified characters are ineffective . |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised adaptive context-aware conversion model that learns to convert between simplified and traditional Chinese characters under a denoising auto-encoder framework. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms strong unsupervised baselines and yields better conversion result for one-to-many cases. |
Unsupervised Chinese Word Segmentation with BERT Oriented Probing and Transformation (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for unsupervised Chinese word segmentation exploit shallow semantic information, which can miss important context. |
| Approach: | They propose to take advantage of deep contextual semantic information with a self-training manner to transform it into explicit word segmentation ability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art F1 score on two CWS benchmark datasets. |
Enhancing Discourse Dependency Parsing with Sentence Dependency Parsing: A Unified Generative Method Based on Code Representation (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing annotation resources for Discourse Dependency Parsing tasks are limited due to their complexity and annotation schema differences. |
| Approach: | They propose a code-based unified dependency parsing method that uses code to model dependency parses under different annotation schemas. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on two Chinese DDP tasks. |
