Papers with multi-task learning paradigm
DeepGeneMD: A Joint Deep Learning Model for Extracting Gene Mutation-Disease Knowledge from PubMed Literature (D19-57)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Identifying and understanding the pathogenesis of genetic diseases is an essential task. |
| Approach: | They propose a joint deep learning model for gene mutation-disease knowledge extraction that adapts the state-of-the-art hierarchical multi-task learning framework for joint inference on named entity recognition and relation extraction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves the average score of 0.45 on recognizing gene activities and disease entities and the average F1 score of 0.3 on extracting relations, ranking 1st in the AGAC RE task. |
Data-Centric Improvements for Enhancing Multi-Modal Understanding in Spoken Conversation Modeling (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Conversational assistants are increasingly popular across diverse real-world applications . speech data constitute high-dimensional signals that are difficult to model even for frontier models . |
| Approach: | They propose a data-centric customization approach for enhancing multimodal understanding in conversational speech modeling. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art on the Spoken-SQuAD benchmark using 10% of training data with open-weight models. |
Trucidator: Document-level Event Factuality Identification via Hallucination Enhancement and Cross-Document Inference (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Document-level event factuality identification (DEFI) assesses the veracity degree to which an event mentioned in a document has happened. |
| Approach: | They propose a document-level event factuality identification framework with hallucination features . they propose factualusion corpus that integrates both genuine and hallucinous false information . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms baselines in document event factuality identification. |
Towards Enhancing Faithfulness for Neural Machine Translation (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural machine translation (NMT) has achieved great success due to the ability to generate high-quality sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose a training strategy with a multi-task learning paradigm to build a faithfulness enhanced NMT model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate high-quality sentences that are very close to natural language. |
A Multi-Task Architecture on Relevance-based Neural Query Translation (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for cross-lingual information retrieval are not aware of the vocabulary distribution of the retrieval corpus. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-task learning approach to train a Neural Machine Translation model with a Relevance-based Auxiliary Task (RAT) for search query translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 16% improvement over a strong baseline on Italian-English query-document dataset. |
