Compositional Generalization and Natural Language Variation: Can a Semantic Parsing Approach Handle Both? (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to semantic parsing only evaluated on synthetic datasets that are not representative of natural language variation. |
| Approach: | They propose a semantic parsing approach that handles both natural language variation and compositional generalization. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models across compositional generalization challenges on non-synthetic datasets while being competitive with the state-of-the-art on standard evaluations. |
Improving Compositional Generalization with Latent Structure and Data Augmentation (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Generic unstructured neural networks struggle on out-of-distribution compositional generalization. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to recombinate examples from a model called Compositional Structure Learner and add them to a pre-trained sequence-to-sequence model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is even stronger than a T5-CSL ensemble on two real world compositional generalization tasks. |
