Improving the Generalizability of Depression Detection by Leveraging Clinical Questionnaires
Automated methods have been widely used to identify and analyze mental health conditions (e.g., depression) from various sources of information, including social media. Yet, deployment of such…
Zero- and Few-Shot NLP with Pretrained Language Models
The ability to efficiently learn from little-to-no data is critical to applying NLP to tasks where data collection is costly or otherwise difficult. This is a challenging setting both academically…
Penguins Don't Fly: Reasoning about Generics through Instantiations and Exceptions
Generics express generalizations about the world (e.g., “birds can fly"). However, they are not universally true – while sparrows and penguins are both birds, only sparrows can fly and penguins…
Generating Scientific Claims for Zero-Shot Scientific Fact Checking
Automated scientific fact checking is difficult due to the complexity of scientific language and a lack of significant amounts of training data, as annotation requires domain expertise. To address…
ACCoRD: A Multi-Document Approach to Generating Diverse Descriptions of Scientific Concepts
Systems that can automatically define unfamiliar terms hold the promise of improving the accessibility of scientific texts, especially for readers who may lack prerequisite background knowledge.…
PRIMERA: Pyramid-based Masked Sentence Pre-training for Multi-document Summarization
We introduce PRIMERA, a pre-trained model for multi-document representation with a focus on summarization that reduces the need for dataset-specific architectures and large amounts of fine-tuning…
Scaling Creative Inspiration with Fine-Grained Functional Facets of Product Ideas
Web-scale repositories of products, patents and scientific papers offer an opportunity for building automated systems that scour millions of existing ideas and assist users in discovering novel…
From Who You Know to What You Read: Augmenting Scientific Recommendations with Implicit Social Networks
The ever-increasing pace of scientific publication necessitates methods for quickly identifying relevant papers. While neural recommenders trained on user interests can help, they still result in…
S2AMP: A High-Coverage Dataset of Scholarly Mentorship Inferred from Publications
Mentorship is a critical component of academia, but is not as visible as publications, citations, grants, and awards. Despite the importance of studying the quality and impact of mentorship, there…
Bursting Scientific Filter Bubbles: Boosting Innovation via Novel Author Discovery
Isolated silos of scientific research and the growing challenge of information overload limit awareness across the literature and hinder innovation. Algorithmic curation and recommendation, which…
