Automatic Rule Induction for Efficient Semi-Supervised Learning (2022.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to generalize from labeled and unlabeled data are difficult to explain and behave unreliably. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for automatic discovery and integration of symbolic rules into pretrained transformer models by using an attention mechanism. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can improve state-of-the-art methods with no manual effort and minimal computational overhead. |
SentiStream: A Co-Training Framework for Adaptive Online Sentiment Analysis in Evolving Data Streams (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for online sentiment analysis rely on pre-existing datasets. |
| Approach: | They propose a co-training framework specifically designed for efficient sentiment analysis within dynamic data streams. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework surpasses existing methods in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. |
A Span-based Multimodal Variational Autoencoder for Semi-supervised Multimodal Named Entity Recognition (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for named entity recognition on social media are not efficient for semi-supervised MNER because of the mismatch between the posted text and image. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel method to fuse the text and image features for multimodal named entity recognition under semi-supervised setting by exploiting modal-specific VAEs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines under supervised setting and improves performance with less labeled data than existing semi-supervised methods. |
ELLEN: Extremely Lightly Supervised Learning for Efficient Named Entity Recognition (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named entity recognition (NER) tasks require an amount of annotations that are unrealistic for many real-world applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a semi-supervised named entity recognition method that blends language models with linguistic rules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms most existing semi-supervised methods under the same supervision settings commonly used in the literature. |

| Challenge: | a vast majority of language pairs in the world are considered low-resource because they have little parallel data available. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to evaluate methods trained on low-resource language pairs . they report baseline performance using supervised, weakly supervised and semi-supervised settings . |
| Outcome: | The proposed evaluation datasets show that current state-of-the-art methods perform poorly on this benchmark, posing a challenge to the research community working on low-resource MT. |

| Challenge: | Social media, especially Twitter, has been a melting pot for such debates. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate tweets relevant to shooting events into three classes: In-Favor, Against, and Neutral. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms supervised, semi-supervised, and LLM-based zero-shot models on the dataset. |
A Probabilistic End-To-End Task-Oriented Dialog Model with Latent Belief States towards Semi-Supervised Learning (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Structured belief states are crucial for goal tracking and database query in task-oriented dialog systems. |
| Approach: | They propose a probabilistic dialog model where belief states are represented as discrete latent variables and jointly modeled with system responses given user inputs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms supervised-only and semi-supervised baselines on three benchmark datasets. |
