SciCo: Hierarchical Cross-Document Coreference for Scientific Concepts
Arie Cattan, Sophie Johnson, Daniel S. Weld, Ido Dagan, Iz Beltagy, Doug Downey, Tom HopeAKBC • 2021 Determining coreference of concept mentions across multiple documents is fundamental for natural language understanding. Work on cross-document coreference resolution (CDCR) typically considers mentions of events in the news, which do not often involve…All That’s ‘Human’ Is Not Gold: Evaluating Human Evaluation of Generated Text
Elizabeth Clark, Tal August, Sofia Serrano, Nikita Haduong, Suchin Gururangan, Noah A. SmithACL • 2021 Human evaluations are typically considered the gold standard in natural language generation, but as models' fluency improves, how well can evaluators detect and judge machine-generated text? We run a study assessing non-experts' ability to distinguish between…From 'F' to 'A' on the N.Y. Regents Science Exams: An Overview of the Aristo Project
Peter Clark, Oren Etzioni, Daniel Khashabi, Tushar Khot, Bhavana Dalvi Mishra, Kyle Richardson, Ashish Sabharwal, Carissa Schoenick, Oyvind Tafjord, Niket Tandon, Sumithra Bhakthavatsalam, Dirk Groeneveld, Michal Guerquin, Michael SchmitzAI Magazine • 2020AI has achieved remarkable mastery over games such as Chess, Go, and Poker, and even Jeopardy!, but the rich variety of standardized exams has remained a landmark challenge. Even in 2016, the best AI system achieved merely 59.3% on an 8th Grade science exam…AI2 Lasting Impact AwardDon’t Stop Pretraining: Adapt Language Models to Domains and Tasks
Suchin Gururangan, Ana Marasović, Swabha Swayamdipta, Kyle Lo, Iz Beltagy, Doug Downey, Noah A. SmithACL • 2020 Language models pretrained on text from a wide variety of sources form the foundation of today's NLP. In light of the success of these broad-coverage models, we investigate whether it is still helpful to tailor a pretrained model to the domain of a target…Social Bias Frames: Reasoning about Social and Power Implications of Language
Maarten Sap, Saadia Gabriel, Lianhui Qin, Dan Jurafsky, Noah A. Smith, Yejin ChoiACL • 2020Language has the power to reinforce stereotypes and project social biases onto others. At the core of the challenge is that it is rarely what is stated explicitly, but all the implied meanings that frame people's judgements about others. For example, given a…WeCNLP Best PaperProcedural Reading Comprehension with Attribute-Aware Context Flow
Aida Amini, Antoine Bosselut, Bhavana Dalvi Mishra, Yejin Choi, Hannaneh HajishirziAKBC • 2020 Procedural texts often describe processes (e.g., photosynthesis and cooking) that happen over entities (e.g., light, food). In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for procedural reading comprehension by translating the text into a general formalism that…WinoGrande: An Adversarial Winograd Schema Challenge at Scale
Keisuke Sakaguchi, Ronan Le Bras, Chandra Bhagavatula, Yejin ChoiAAAI • 2020 The Winograd Schema Challenge (WSC), proposed by Levesque et al. (2011) as an alternative to the Turing Test, was originally designed as a pronoun resolution problem that cannot be solved based on statistical patterns in large text corpora. However, recent…Evaluating Question Answering Evaluation
Anthony Chen, Gabriel Stanovsky, Sameer Singh, Matt GardnerEMNLP • MRQA Workshop • 2019 As the complexity of question answering (QA) datasets evolve, moving away from restricted formats like span extraction and multiple-choice (MC) to free-form answer generation, it is imperative to understand how well current metrics perform in evaluating QA…AllenNLP Interpret: A Framework for Explaining Predictions of NLP Models
Eric Wallace, Jens Tuyls, Junlin Wang, Sanjay Subramanian, Matthew Gardner, Sameer SinghEMNLP • 2019 Neural NLP models are increasingly accurate but are imperfect and opaque---they break in counterintuitive ways and leave end users puzzled at their behavior. Model interpretation methods ameliorate this opacity by providing explanations for specific model…On the Limits of Learning to Actively Learn Semantic Representations
Omri Koshorek, Gabriel Stanovsky, Yichu Zhou, Vivek Srikumar and Jonathan BerantCoNLL • 2019One of the goals of natural language understanding is to develop models that map sentences into meaning representations. However, training such models requires expensive annotation of complex structures, which hinders their adoption. Learning to actively…Best Paper Honorable Mention
