Everything Happens for a Reason: Discovering the Purpose of Actions in Procedural Text (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | XPAD is a new model that predicts actions' effects and their dependencies based on background knowledge . previous work on extracting sequences of actions from text has focused on identifying why they are the way they are . |
| Approach: | They propose a new model that biases effect predictions towards those that explain more of the actions in the paragraph and are more plausible with respect to background knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing systems on explaining actions by predicting dependencies while maintaining the performance on the original task in ProPara. |
