• Title: Unsupervised Paraphrase Generation using Pre-trained Language Models
• Authors: Chaitra Hegde, Shrikumar Patil
• Abstract summary: OpenAI's GPT-2 is notable for its capability to generate fluent, well formulated, grammatically consistent text. We leverage this generation capability of GPT-2 to generate paraphrases without any supervision from labelled data. Our experiments show that paraphrases generated with our model are of good quality, are diverse and improves the downstream task performance when used for data augmentation.

• Abstract: Large scale Pre-trained Language Models have proven to be very powerful approach in various Natural language tasks. OpenAI's GPT-2 \cite{radford2019language} is notable for its capability to generate fluent, well formulated, grammatically consistent text and for phrase completions. In this paper we leverage this generation capability of GPT-2 to generate paraphrases without any supervision from labelled data. We examine how the results compare with other supervised and unsupervised approaches and the effect of using paraphrases for data augmentation on downstream tasks such as classification. Our experiments show that paraphrases generated with our model are of good quality, are diverse and improves the downstream task performance when used for data augmentation.

  We focus on investigating dataset artifacts and developing strategies to address these issues. We propose several automatic data augmentation strategies spanning character to word levels. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed approaches effectively enhance model accuracy and reduce biases by up to 0.66% and 1.14%, respectively.

  We focus on aspect-based sentiment analysis, which involves extracting aspect term, category, and predicting their corresponding polarities. We propose to reformulate the extraction and prediction tasks into the sequence generation task, using a generative language model with unidirectional attention. Our approach outperforms the previous state-of-the-art (based on BERT) on average performance by a large margins in few-shot and full-shot settings.

  End-to-end sign language generation models do not accurately represent the prosody in sign language. We aim to improve the prosody in generated sign languages by modeling intensification in a data-driven manner. We find that our efforts in intensification modeling yield better results when evaluated with automatic metrics.

  We propose a novel approach to generate high-quality paraphrases with weak supervision data. Specifically, we tackle the weakly-supervised paraphrase generation problem by:. obtaining abundant weakly-labeled parallel sentences via retrieval-based pseudo paraphrase expansion. We demonstrate that our approach achieves significant improvements over existing unsupervised approaches, and is even comparable in performance with supervised state-of-the-arts.

  BURT (BERT inspired Universal Representation from Twin Structure) is capable of generating universal, fixed-size representations for input sequences of any granularity. Our proposed BURT adopts the Siamese network, learning sentence-level representations from natural language inference dataset and word/phrase-level representations from paraphrasing dataset. We evaluate BURT across different granularities of text similarity tasks, including STS tasks, SemEval2013 Task 5(a) and some commonly used word similarity tasks.
