Object Manipulation via Visual Target Localization
Object manipulation is a critical skill required for Embodied AI agents interacting with the world around them. Training agents to manipulate objects, poses many challenges. These include occlusion…
ScienceWorld: Is your Agent Smarter than a 5th Grader?
This paper presents a new benchmark, SCIENCEWORLD, to test agents’ scientific reasoning abilities in a new interactive text environment at the level of a standard elementary school science…
Staged Training for Transformer Language Models
The current standard approach to scaling transformer language models trains each model size from a different random initialization. As an alternative, we consider a staged training setup that begins…
Faking Fake News for Real Fake News Detection: Propaganda-loaded Training Data Generation
While there has been a lot of research and many recent advances in neural fake news detection, defending against human-written disinformation remains underexplored. Upon analyzing current approaches…
LIMEADE: From AI Explanations to Advice Taking
Research in human-centered AI has shown the benefits of systems that can explain their predictions. Methods that allow an AI to take advice from humans in response to explanations are similarly…
Text-based NP Enrichment
Understanding the relations between entities denoted by NPs in text is a critical part of human-like natural language understanding. However, only a fraction of such relations is covered by NLP…
Hallett‐Mossop Rime Splintering Dims Cumulus Clouds Over the Southern Ocean: New Insight From Nudged Global Storm‐Resolving Simulations
In clouds containing both liquid and ice with temperatures between −3°C and −8°C, liquid droplets collide with large ice crystals, freeze, and shatter, producing a plethora of small ice splinters.…
Paper Plain: Making Medical Research Papers Approachable to Healthcare Consumers with Natural Language Processing
When seeking information not covered in patient-friendly documents, like medical pamphlets, healthcare consumers may turn to the research literature. Reading medical papers, however, can be a…
One-Shot Labeling for Automatic Relevance Estimation
Dealing with unjudged documents ("holes") in relevance assessments is a perennial problem when evaluating search systems with offline experiments. Holes can reduce the apparent effectiveness of…
A Search Engine for Discovery of Scientific Challenges and Directions
Keeping track of scientific challenges, advances and emerging directions is a fundamental part of research. However, researchers face a flood of papers that hinders discovery of important knowledge.…
