A simile is a figure of speech that directly makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things, e.g. ``Reading papers can be dull sometimes,like watching grass grow". Human writers often interpolate appropriate similes into proper locations of the plain text to vivify their writings. However, none o...

Stacked self-attention models receive widespread attention, due to its ability of capturing global dependency among words. However, the stacking of many layers and components generates huge parameters, leading to low parameter efficiency. In response to this issue, we propose a lightweight architecture named Continuous...
