  • Iterative Search for Weakly Supervised Semantic Parsing

    Pradeep Dasigi, Matt Gardner, Shikhar Murty, Luke Zettlemoyer, Ed HovyNAACL2019 Training semantic parsers from question-answer pairs typically involves searching over an exponentially large space of logical forms, and an unguided search can easily be misled by spurious logical forms that coincidentally evaluate to the correct answer. We…
  • Linguistic Knowledge and Transferability of Contextual Representations

    Nelson F. Liu, Matt Gardner, Yonatan Belinkov, Matthew Peters, Noah A. SmithNAACL2019 Contextual word representations derived from large-scale neural language models are successful across a diverse set of NLP tasks, suggesting that they encode useful and transferable features of language. To shed light on the linguistic knowledge they capture…
  • Lipstick on a Pig: Debiasing Methods Cover up Systematic Gender Biases in Word Embeddings But do not Remove Them

    Hila Gonen, Yoav GoldbergNAACL2019 Word embeddings are widely used in NLP for a vast range of tasks. It was shown that word embeddings derived from text corpora reflect gender biases in society. This phenomenon is pervasive and consistent across different word embedding models, causing serious…
  • MathQA: Towards Interpretable Math Word Problem Solving with Operation-Based Formalisms

    ida Amini, Saadia Gabriel, Peter Lin, Rik Koncel-Kedziorski, Yejin Choi, Hannaneh HajishirziNAACL2019 We introduce a large-scale dataset of math word problems and an interpretable neural math problem solver by learning to map problems to their operation programs. Due to annotation challenges, current datasets in this domain have been either relatively small…
  • Polyglot Contextual Representations Improve Crosslingual Transfer

    Phoebe Mulcaire, Jungo Kasai, Noah A. SmithNAACL2019 We introduce a method to produce multilingual contextual word representations by training a single language model on text from multiple languages. Our method combines the advantages of contextual word representations with those of multilingual representation…
  • Repurposing Entailment for Multi-Hop Question Answering Tasks

    Harsh Trivedi, Heeyoung Kwon, Tushar Khot, Ashish Sabharwal, Niranjan BalasubramanianNAACL2019 Question Answering (QA) naturally reduces to an entailment problem, namely, verifying whether some text entails the answer to a question. However, for multi-hop QA tasks, which require reasoning with multiple sentences, it remains unclear how best to utilize…
  • Step-by-Step: Separating Planning from Realization in Neural Data-to-Text Generation

    Amit Mor-Yosef, Ido Dagan, Yoav GoldbergNAACL2019 Data-to-text generation can be conceptually divided into two parts: ordering and structuring the information (planning), and generating fluent language describing the information (realization). Modern neural generation systems conflate these two steps into a…
  • Structural Scaffolds for Citation Intent Classification in Scientific Publications

    Arman Cohan, Waleed Ammar, Madeleine van Zuylen, Field CadyNAACL2019 Identifying the intent of a citation in scientific papers (e.g., background information, use of methods, comparing results) is critical for machine reading of individual publications and automated analysis of the scientific literature. We propose a multitask…
  • Studying the Inductive Biases of RNNs with Synthetic Variations of Natural Languages

    Shauli Ravfogel, Yoav Goldberg, Tal LinzenNAACL2019 How do typological properties such as word order and morphological case marking affect the ability of neural sequence models to acquire the syntax of a language? Cross-linguistic comparisons of RNNs' syntactic performance (e.g., on subject-verb agreement…
  • Text Generation from Knowledge Graphs with Graph Transformers

    Rik Koncel-Kedziorski, Dhanush Bekal, Yi Luan, Mirella Lapata, Hannaneh HajishirziNAACL2019 Generating texts which express complex ideas spanning multiple sentences requires a structured representation of their content (document plan), but these representations are prohibitively expensive to manually produce. In this work, we address the problem of…
