Papers with procedural text understanding
Time-Stamped Language Model: Teaching Language Models to Understand The Flow of Events (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using transformer-based language models to track entities is challenging due to dynamic nature of the world described in the text. |
| Approach: | They propose to use transformer-based language models to track entities throughout a procedure . they propose to introduce timestamp encoding to encode event information in LMs . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on the state-of-the-art model with a 3.1% increase in F1 score on the Propara dataset and better results on the location prediction task on the NPN-Cooking dataset. |
Reasoning over Entity-Action-Location Graph for Procedural Text Understanding (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Procedural text understanding aims at tracking the states and locations of entities mentioned in a paragraph. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to model entities-entity, action, and location relations using a graph neural network. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms strong baselines on two datasets, ProPara and Recipes. |
