Papers with unsupervised learning approach
Self-supervised Regularization for Text Classification (2021.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Text classification models are prone to overfitting when limited texts are available for training. |
| Approach: | They propose a data-dependent regularization approach based on self-supervised learning . they define auxiliary tasks on input data without using human-provided labels . |
| Outcome: | Experiments on 17 text classification datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. |

| Challenge: | Existing code pre-training approaches often adopt (masked) language modeling as the training objective which targets on learning to predict (macked) tokens in a given code context. |
| Approach: | They propose a code-text contrastive learning model which learns function-level code semantic representations through large-scale code corpus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves new state-of-the-art with significant improvement over existing pre-trained models on eleven domain/language-specific code search tasks with six programming languages in different code granularity. |
Unsupervised Cross-lingual Transfer of Word Embedding Spaces (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for cross-lingual word mapping require cross-linguistic supervision, but this is not available for many low resource languages. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised method that learns transformation functions over corresponding word embedding spaces using a distributed distributional matching algorithm. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method performs better on bilingual lexicon induction and cross-lingual word similarity prediction datasets than other supervised and unsupervised methods. |
