## Abstract
Speech-related Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) aim primarily at finding an alternative vocal communication pathway for people with speaking disabilities. As a step towards full decoding of imagined speech from active tho... | 12 |
1904.05584 | Gating Mechanisms for Combining Character and Word-level Word Representations: An Empirical Study | # Gating Mechanisms for Combining Character and Word-level Word Representations: An Empirical Study
## Abstract
In this paper we study how different ways of combining character and word-level representations affect the quality of both final word and sentence representations. We provide strong empirical evidence that ... | 18 |
1904.07342 | Learning Twitter User Sentiments on Climate Change with Limited Labeled Data | # Learning Twitter User Sentiments on Climate Change with Limited Labeled Data
## Abstract
While it is well-documented that climate change accepters and deniers have become increasingly polarized in the United States over time, there has been no large-scale examination of whether these individuals are prone to changi... | 5 |
1904.11942 | Contextualized Word Embeddings Enhanced Event Temporal Relation Extraction for Story Understanding | # Contextualized Word Embeddings Enhanced Event Temporal Relation Extraction for Story Understanding
## Abstract
Learning causal and temporal relationships between events is an important step towards deeper story and commonsense understanding. Though there are abundant datasets annotated with event relations for stor... | 10 |
1905.08949 | Recent Advances in Neural Question Generation | # Recent Advances in Neural Question Generation
## Abstract
Emerging research in Neural Question Generation (NQG) has started to integrate a larger variety of inputs, and generating questions requiring higher levels of cognition. These trends point to NQG as a bellwether for NLP, about how human intelligence embodies... | 19 |
1905.10810 | Evaluation of basic modules for isolated spelling error correction in Polish texts | # Evaluation of basic modules for isolated spelling error correction in Polish texts
## Abstract
Spelling error correction is an important problem in natural language processing, as a prerequisite for good performance in downstream tasks as well as an important feature in user-facing applications. For texts in Polish... | 8 |
1905.11268 | Combating Adversarial Misspellings with Robust Word Recognition | # Combating Adversarial Misspellings with Robust Word Recognition
## Abstract
To combat adversarial spelling mistakes, we propose placing a word recognition model in front of the downstream classifier. Our word recognition models build upon the RNN semicharacter architecture, introducing several new backoff strategie... | 12 |
1905.11901 | Revisiting Low-Resource Neural Machine Translation: A Case Study | # Revisiting Low-Resource Neural Machine Translation: A Case Study
## Abstract
It has been shown that the performance of neural machine translation (NMT) drops starkly in low-resource conditions, underperforming phrase-based statistical machine translation (PBSMT) and requiring large amounts of auxiliary data to achi... | 15 |
1905.12801 | Reducing Gender Bias in Word-Level Language Models with a Gender-Equalizing Loss Function | # Reducing Gender Bias in Word-Level Language Models with a Gender-Equalizing Loss Function
## Abstract
Gender bias exists in natural language datasets which neural language models tend to learn, resulting in biased text generation. In this research, we propose a debiasing approach based on the loss function modifica... | 11 |
1906.01840 | Improving Textual Network Embedding with Global Attention via Optimal Transport | # Improving Textual Network Embedding with Global Attention via Optimal Transport
## Abstract
Constituting highly informative network embeddings is an important tool for network analysis. It encodes network topology, along with other useful side information, into low-dimensional node-based feature representations tha... | 13 |
