• Title: Jointly Improving Language Understanding and Generation with Quality-Weighted Weak Supervision of Automatic Labeling
• Authors: Ernie Chang, Vera Demberg, Alex Marin
• Abstract summary: We propose a framework for automatically constructing a large-scale weakly-labeled data with a fine-tuned GPT-2 framework. We show that this weakly supervised training paradigm is an effective approach under low resource scenarios and outperforming benchmark systems on both datasets.

• Abstract: Neural natural language generation (NLG) and understanding (NLU) models are data-hungry and require massive amounts of annotated data to be competitive. Recent frameworks address this bottleneck with generative models that synthesize weak labels at scale, where a small amount of training labels are expert-curated and the rest of the data is automatically annotated. We follow that approach, by automatically constructing a large-scale weakly-labeled data with a fine-tuned GPT-2, and employ a semi-supervised framework to jointly train the NLG and NLU models. The proposed framework adapts the parameter updates to the models according to the estimated label-quality. On both the E2E and Weather benchmarks, we show that this weakly supervised training paradigm is an effective approach under low resource scenarios and outperforming benchmark systems on both datasets when 100% of training data is used.

  We propose a novel co-training method that assigns weights based on the training dynamics of the classifiers to the distantly supervised labels. By assigning importance weights instead of filtering out examples based on an arbitrary threshold on the predicted confidence, we maximize the usage of automatically labeled data. The proposed method obtains an improvement of 1.5% in Macro F1 over the distant supervision baseline, and substantial improvements over several other strong SSL baselines.

  Federated Learning (FL) relies on the effectiveness of utilizing knowledge from distributed datasets. Traditional FL methods adopt an aggregate-then-adapt framework, where clients update local models based on a global model aggregated by the server from the previous training round. We introduce FedAF, a novel aggregation-free FL algorithm.

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.
