Argument Mining as a Text-to-Text Generation Task (2024.eacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Argument Mining (AM) aims to uncover the argumentative structures within a text. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that generates argumentatively annotated text using a pretrained encoder-decoder language model and a pre-trained decoder. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on three types of benchmark datasets. |
Large language models are few-shot clinical information extractors (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a long-running goal of clinical NLP is the extraction of important variables trapped in clinical notes. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large language models to tackle diverse clinical extraction tasks . they propose to reannote existing CASI datasets to compare their models with clinical text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform existing models on few-shot clinical information extraction tasks. |
LegalDiscourse: Interpreting When Laws Apply and To Whom (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent advances in NLP and information retrieval have already enabled practical applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a 'discourse' taxonomy for span-and-relation parsing of legal texts . they use a dataset of 602 state-level law paragraphs with 3,715 discourse spans and 1,671 relations to investigate the increase in liquor licenses and decrease in applicable laws. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs poorly at span identification and relation classification, but lags far below human level. |
