Seq2Emo: A Sequence to Multi-Label Emotion Classification Model
Multi-label emotion classification is an important task in NLP and is essential to many applications. In this work, we propose a sequence-to-emotion (Seq2Emo) approach, which implicitly models emotion correlations in a bi-directional decoder. Experiments on SemEval'18 and GoEmotions datasets show that our approach outp...

Attentive Gated Lexicon Reader with Contrastive Contextual Co-Attention for Sentiment Classification

The key idea is that that incorporating a word-level prior can aid in the representation learning process, eventually improving model performance. To this end, our model employs two distinctly unique components, i...

Distant Supervision Relation Extraction with Intra-Bag and Inter-Bag Attentions
This paper presents a neural relation extraction method to deal with the noisy training data generated by distant supervision. Previous studies mainly focus on sentence-level de-noising by designing neural networks with intra-bag attentions. In this paper, both intrabag and inter-bag attentions are considered in order ...

An HPSG-based Shared-Grammar for the Chinese Languages: ZHONG [|]
This paper introduces our attempts to model the Chinese language using HPSG and MRS.

To model these, we are buil...

Generating Referential Descriptions in Multimedia Environments
All known algorithms dedicated to the generation of referential descriptions use natural language alone to accomplish this communicative goal. Motivated by some limitations underlying these algorithms and the resulting restrictions in their scope, we attempt to extend the basic schema of these procedures to multimedia ...

Alternations: From Lexicon to Grammar And Back Again
An excellent example of a phenomenon bridging a lexicon and a grammar is provided by grammaticalized alternations (e.g., passivization, reflexivity, and reciprocity): these alternations represent productive grammatical processes which are, however, lexically determined. While grammaticalized alternations keep lexical m...
