Learning Semantic Textual Similarity via Topic-informed Discrete Latent Variables (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent discrete latent variable models have received a surge of interest in both NLP and CV . they are comparable to the continuous counterparts in representation learning, but are more interpretable in their predictions. |
| Approach: | They develop a topic-informed discrete latent variable model for semantic textual similarity . they inject the quantized representation into a transformer-based language model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms strong baselines in semantic textual similarity tasks. |
