• Abstract: Many tasks in natural language processing, such as named entity recognition and slot-filling, involve identifying and labeling specific spans of text. In order to leverage common models, these tasks are often recast as sequence labeling tasks. Each token is given a label and these labels are prefixed with special tokens such as B- or I-. After a model assigns labels to each token, these prefixes are used to group the tokens into spans. Properly parsing these annotations is critical for producing fair and comparable metrics; however, despite its importance, there is not an easy-to-use, standardized, programmatically integratable library to help work with span labeling. To remedy this, we introduce our open-source library, iobes. iobes is used for parsing, converting, and processing spans represented as token level decisions.

  Multi-instance partial-label learning (MIPL) addresses scenarios where each training sample is represented as a multi-instance bag associated with a candidate label set containing one true label and several false positives. ELIMIPL exploits the conjugate label information to improve the disambiguation performance.

• Substituting Data Annotation with Balanced Updates and Collective Loss in Multi-label Text Classification [19.592985329023733]
  Multi-label text classification (MLTC) is the task of assigning multiple labels to a given text. We study the MLTC problem in annotation-free and scarce-annotation settings in which the magnitude of available supervision signals is linear to the number of labels. Our method follows three steps, (1) mapping input text into a set of preliminary label likelihoods by natural language inference using a pre-trained language model, (2) calculating a signed label dependency graph by label descriptions, and (3) updating the preliminary label likelihoods with message passing along the label dependency graph.

  Label2Label is the first attempt for multi-attribute prediction from the perspective of language modeling. Inspired by the success of pre-training language models in NLP, Label2Label introduces an image-conditioned masked language model. Our intuition is that the instance-wise attribute relations are well grasped if the neural net can infer the missing attributes based on the context and the remaining attribute hints.

  We propose a structured semantic transfer (SST) framework that enables training multi-label recognition models with partial labels. The framework consists of two complementary transfer modules that explore within-image and cross-image semantic correlations. Experiments on the Microsoft COCO, Visual Genome and Pascal VOC datasets show that the proposed SST framework obtains superior performance over current state-of-the-art algorithms.
