• Abstract summary: This paper describes work of the BUT-FIT's team at SemEval 2020 Task 4 - Commonsense Validation and Explanation. In subtasks A and B, our submissions are based on pretrained language representation models (namely ALBERT) and data augmentation. We experimented with solving the task for another language, Czech, by means of multilingual models and machine translated dataset. We show that with a strong machine translation system, our system can be used in another language with a small accuracy loss.

• Abstract: This paper describes work of the BUT-FIT's team at SemEval 2020 Task 4 - Commonsense Validation and Explanation. We participated in all three subtasks. In subtasks A and B, our submissions are based on pretrained language representation models (namely ALBERT) and data augmentation. We experimented with solving the task for another language, Czech, by means of multilingual models and machine translated dataset, or translated model inputs. We show that with a strong machine translation system, our system can be used in another language with a small accuracy loss. In subtask C, our submission, which is based on pretrained sequence-to-sequence model (BART), ranked 1st in BLEU score ranking, however, we show that the correlation between BLEU and human evaluation, in which our submission ended up 4th, is low. We analyse the metrics used in the evaluation and we propose an additional score based on model from subtask B, which correlates well with our manual ranking, as well as reranking method based on the same principle. We performed an error and dataset analysis for all subtasks and we present our findings.

  Given a target word and its context, our method generates substitutes based on the target context and additional contexts sampled from monolingual data. We conduct experiments in English, Portuguese, and Spanish on the TSAR-2022 shared task, and show that our model substantially outperforms other unsupervised systems across all languages.

With access to only 30 labeled samples, our model can generalize the recognition of merchants, amounts, and other fields from English to Arabic.

  A problem that frequently occurs when working with a non-English language is the scarcity of annotated training data. We design a simple but effective ensemble-based framework that combines various transfer learning techniques. We also propose a low-cost TL method that bootstraps coreference resolution models by utilizing Wikipedia anchor texts.

  We present our submission to the sentence-level MQM benchmark at Quality Estimation Shared Task, named UniTE. Specifically, our systems employ the framework of UniTE, which combined three types of input formats during training with a pre-trained language model. Results show that our models reach 1st overall ranking in the Multilingual and English-Russian settings, and 2nd overall ranking in English-German and Chinese-English settings.

During the fine-tuning phase, we use both Direct Assessment (DA) and Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) data from past years' WMT competitions.

  This paper addresses the SemEval-2022 Task 3 PreTENS: Presupposed Taxonomies evaluating Neural Network Semantics. The goal of the task is to identify if a sentence is deemed acceptable or not, depending on the taxonomic relationship that holds between a noun pair contained in the sentence. We propose an effective way to enhance the robustness and the generalizability of language models for better classification.

Inspired by the similarity of the ReCAM task and the language pre-training, we propose a simple yet effective technology, namely, negative augmentation with language model. Our models achieve the 4th rank on both official test sets of Subtask 1 and Subtask 2 with an accuracy of 87.9% and an accuracy of 92.8%, respectively.
