Query-Reduction Networks for Question Answering

Minjoon SeoSewon MinAli FarhadiHannaneh Hajishirzi
2017
ICLR

In this paper, we study the problem of question answering when reasoning over multiple facts is required. We propose Query-Reduction Network (QRN), a variant of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that… 

See the Glass Half Full: Reasoning about Liquid Containers, their Volume and Content

Roozbeh MottaghiConnor SchenckDieter FoxAli Farhadi
2017
ICCV

Humans have rich understanding of liquid containers and their contents; for example, we can effortlessly pour water from a pitcher to a cup. Doing so requires estimating the volume of the cup,… 

Should Artificial Intelligence Be Regulated?

Amitai Etzioni and Oren Etzioni
2017
Issues in Science and Technology

New technologies often spur public anxiety, but the intensity of concern about the implications of advances in artificial intelligence (AI) is particularly noteworthy. Several respected scholars and… 

Target-driven visual navigation in indoor scenes using deep reinforcement learning

Yuke ZhuRoozbeh MottaghiEric Kolveand Ali Farhadi
2017
ICRA

Two less addressed issues of deep reinforcement learning are (1) lack of generalization capability to new goals, and (2) data inefficiency, i.e., the model requires several (and often costly)… 

Tell Me Why: Using Question Answering as Distant Supervision for Answer Justification

Rebecca SharpMihai SurdeanuPeter Jansenand Michael Hammond
2017
CoNLL

For many applications of question answering (QA), being able to explain why a given model chose an answer is critical. However, the lack of labeled data for answer justifications makes learning this… 

The AI2 system at SemEval-2017 Task 10 (ScienceIE): semi-supervised end-to-end entity and relation extraction

Waleed AmmarMatthew E. PetersChandra Bhagavatulaand Russell Power
2017
SemEval

This paper describes our submission for the ScienceIE shared task (SemEval-2017 Task 10) on entity and relation extraction from scientific papers. Our model is based on the end-to-end relation… 

The Effect of Different Writing Tasks on Linguistic Style: A Case Study of the ROC Story Cloze Task

Roy SchwartzMaarten SapIoannis KonstasNoah A. Smith
2017
CoNLL

A writer’s style depends not just on personal traits but also on her intent and mental state. In this paper, we show how variants of the same writing task can lead to measurable differences in… 

Visual Semantic Planning using Deep Successor Representations

Yuke ZhuDaniel GordonEric KolveAli Farhadi
2017
ICCV

A crucial capability of real-world intelligent agents is their ability to plan a sequence of actions to achieve their goals in the visual world. In this work, we address the problem of visual… 

YOLO9000: Better, Faster, Stronger

Joseph RedmonAli Farhadi
2017
CVPR

We introduce YOLO9000, a state-of-the-art, real-time object detection system that can detect over 9000 object categories. First we propose various improvements to the YOLO detection method, both… 

Verb Physics: Relative Physical Knowledge of Actions and Objects

Maxwell ForbesYejin Choi
2017
ACL

Learning commonsense knowledge from natural language text is nontrivial due to reporting bias: people rarely state the obvious, e.g., “My house is bigger than me.” However, while rarely stated…
