Reforging : A Method for Constructing a Linguistically Valid Japanese CCG Treebank (2024.eacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing treebanks for Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) are insufficient for linguistic validity of CCG . |
| Approach: | They propose to combine ABCTreebank and lightblue to generate a linguistically valid Japanese CCG treebank with detailed information by filtering lightblu's lexical items using ABCTtreebank. |

| Challenge: | Current music information retrieval systems struggle to meet linguistic diversity challenges . current systems struggle with text queries in non-English languages . |
| Approach: | They propose a music information retrieval system that supports both ABC notation and MIDI . CLaMP 2 includes a multilingual text encoder and a multiple-modal music encoder . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves state-of-the-art results in multilingual semantic search and music classification across modalities. |
Thesis Proposal: Multimodal Benchmark for Music Understanding in Large Language Models (2026.eacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing music-focused benchmarks are fragmented, largely single-modality, Western-centric . existing methods for evaluating MLLMs are lacking reproducibility and reliability . |
| Approach: | They propose to develop a musically multimodal benchmark that will integrate music into the benchmark. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark will integrate culturally diverse musical material beyond the dominant Western canon. |
Theory-Grounded Measurement of U.S. Social Stereotypes in English Language Models (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-trained language models encode correlations between social groups and traits, like associating the group with the group. |
| Approach: | They adapt the Agency-Belief-Communion (ABC) stereotype model to a language model and introduce the sensitivity test (SeT) to measure stereotypical associations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is used to measure stereotyping of intersectional identities in language models. |
Evaluating the Faithfulness of Importance Measures in NLP by Recursively Masking Allegedly Important Tokens and Retraining (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | To explain NLP models, importance measures are often used to inform input tokens are important for making a prediction. |
| Approach: | They propose a faithfulness metric that masks allegedly important tokens and retrains the model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed metric is based on LSTM-attention models and RoBERTa models. |
ChatMusician: Understanding and Generating Music Intrinsically with LLM (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
Ruibin Yuan, Hanfeng Lin, Yi Wang, Zeyue Tian, Shangda Wu, Tianhao Shen, Ge Zhang, Yuhang Wu, Cong Liu, Ziya Zhou, Liumeng Xue, Ziyang Ma, Qin Liu, Tianyu Zheng, Yizhi Li, Yinghao Ma, Yiming Liang, Xiaowei Chi, Ruibo Liu, Zili Wang, Chenghua Lin, Qifeng Liu, Tao Jiang, Wenhao Huang, Wenhu Chen, Jie Fu, Emmanouil Benetos, Gus Xia, Roger Dannenberg, Wei Xue, Shiyin Kang, Yike Guo
| Challenge: | Despite LLMs' impressive capabilities in musical knowledge, music reasoning remains an unsolved task. |
| Approach: | They propose an open-source large language model (LLM) that integrates intrinsic musical abilities into LLaMA2 and GPT-3.5. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can understand and generate music with a pure text tokenizer without external multi-modal neural structures or tokenizers. |
NOTA: Multimodal Music Notation Understanding for Visual Large Language Model (2025.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing general-domain visual language models lack ability of music notation understanding . Symbolic music is represented in two distinct forms: auditory music and symbolic music . |
| Approach: | They propose to train a multimodal music notation model using a large-scale dataset . they use cross-modal alignment to train the model for music notations analysis . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on music understanding by training with a multimodal music notation model. |
ABC: Attention with Bounded-memory Control (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
Hao Peng, Jungo Kasai, Nikolaos Pappas, Dani Yogatama, Zhaofeng Wu, Lingpeng Kong, Roy Schwartz, Noah A. Smith
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to attention with bounded-memory control (ABC) have a quadratic complexity in sequence lengths, making it prohibitive for long sequences. |
| Approach: | They propose a new abstraction that bounds memory size to improve efficiency . they propose bounded-memory control, which connects several efficient attention variants . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms existing approaches on language modeling, machine translation, and masked language model finetuning. |
Development of a General-Purpose Categorial Grammar Treebank (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | 'general-purpose' categorial grammar treebank is not tailored to specific variants of CG, but rather offers a theory-neutral linguistic resource that can be converted to different versions of 'type-logical grammar' . |
| Approach: | They propose a general-purpose categorial grammar treebank for Japanese that is not tailored to a specific variant of CG but rather offers a theory-neutral resource which can be converted to different versions of GC relatively easily. |
| Outcome: | The proposed treebank improves on the existing Japanese CG treebank on the treatment of certain linguistic phenomena (passives, causatives, and control/raising predicates). |
