4.2.2 Recording of Real-World Commands We used eight subjects (male/female, native/non-native) who uttered the command list at a distance of around 1m from the microphone of the Beats Pill™ portable speaker while music was playing. We used four different music tracks in the echo path, where the starting point of the tr...

In order to provide a fair comparison, we also tuned the parameters to maximize the mean opinion score (MOS) using the Perceptual Objective Listening Quality Assessment (POLQA) , through the same GA setup and the same noisy TIMIT database. To assess the performance of our tuning method, we tested on data not used in th...
Scaling through abstractions – high-performance vectorial wave simulations for seismic inversion with Devito

Owing to the very high number of floating-point operations (FLOPs) needed per grid point for the weighted rotated Laplacian, this anisotropic wave-equation is extremely challenging to implement. The version without FLOP-reducing optimizations is a direct translation of the discretized operators into stencil expressions...

Overall, the model with 6 decoder layers and fixed attentive patterns (7Ftoken+1L) achieves higher accuracy than the model with all learnable attention heads (8L), while the 1-layer decoder models show the opposite effect. It appears that having 6 decoder layers can effectively cope with WSD despite having only one lea...

Our submission to the challenge significantly improved all metrics except for NDCG. We report our results in Tab.

We report on case-insensitive BLEU here since English words are lowercased. From the table we can see that syntax-aware RNN models always outperform the RNNsearch baseline.

As FewRel does not have any null instance where there is not any relation between entities, we adopt macro averaged metrics to present the model performances. Since FewRel is built by checking whether the sentences contain facts in Wikidata, we drop the related facts in KGs before pre-training for fair comparison. As t...

From the results, we observe that: (1) BERT achieves comparable results with NFGEC on the macro and micro metrics. However, BERT has lower accuracy than the best NFGEC model. As strict accuracy is the ratio of instances whose predictions are identical to human annotations, it illustrates some wrong labels from distant ...

From the table, we observe that: (1) BERT and ERNIE achieve much higher recall scores than the previous entity typing models, which means pre-training language models make full use of both the unsupervised pre-training and manually-annotated training data for better entity typing.

We notice that ERNIE is consistent with BERTBASE on big datasets like MNLI, QQP, QNLI, and SST-2. The results become more unstable on small datasets, that is, ERNIE is better on CoLA and RTE, but worse on STS-B and MRPC.

The fine-tuning improved the fluency compared with that of the reviews generated by the pre-trained GPT-2. This suggests that an attack can be made more effective by simply fine-tuning existing models.

This means that a large number of fake reviews can be efficiently generated with a desired sentiment by just fine-tuning an LM. The sentiment modeling method had the highest rate for the Amazon database. This was because explicitly modeling sentiment benefits from the additional sentiment information given before the f...

Despite the minimally designed feature representation, relatively few training iterations, and lack of pre-computed embeddings, the parser performed on par with state-of-the-art incremental dependency parsers, and slightly outperformed the state-of-the-art greedy parser.

We found that performance could be improved, however, by factoring out the decision over structural actions (i.e., shift, left-reduce, or right-reduce) and the decision of which arc label to assign upon a reduce. We therefore use separate classifiers for those decisions, each with its own fully-connected hidden and out...

As the results show for MSA, our overall diacritization WER is 6.0% while the state of the art system has a WER of 12.2%. As for CA, our best system produced an error rate of 4.3%, which is significantly better than using our best MSA system to diacritize CA.

For error analysis, we analyzed all the errors (527 errors). The most prominent error type arises from the selection of a valid diacritized form that does not match the context (40.8%).

For example, 1/16 means that we take only 72×1/16=4.5 hours from si284 for training. We find that for all input features, there is a significant increase in WER whenever the training size is reduced by half. When comparing R-APC and T-APC with log Mel, we see the former two always outperform the latter across all propo...

We also include the case where APC is randomly initialized and trained from scratch along with the seq2seq model. We think this is because for a small n, APC can exploit local smoothness in the spectrograms for predicting the target future frame (since xk can be very similar to xk+n when n is small) and thus does not n...

The next aspect we examine is to what extent can we reduce the downstream model size with transfer learning. We see that when using the same number of layers, * -APC and *-APC10 always outperform other features.

However, using only feature set 4 (embeddings), the system performance increases rapidly, so it is even comparable to numbers achieved in the in-domain scenario. These results indicate that embedding features generalize well across domains in our task of argument component identification.

We first note that hard attention underperforms soft attention, even when its expectation is enumerated. This indicates that Jensen’s inequality alone is a poor bound. On the other hand, on both experiments, exact marginal likelihood outperforms soft attention, indicating that when possible it is better to have latent ...

For all methods exact enumeration is better, however K-max is a reasonable approximation. This possibly indicates that soft attention models are approximating latent alignment models. On the other hand, training with latent alignments and testing with soft attention performed badly.
