• Authors: Andres Garcia-Silva, Ronald Denaux, Jose Manuel Gomez-Perez
• Abstract summary: We conduct a study on the use of explicit linguistic annotations to generate embeddings from a scientific corpus. Our results show how the effect of such annotations in the embeddings varies depending on the evaluation task. In general, we observe that learning embeddings using linguistic annotations contributes to achieve better evaluation results.

• Abstract: In essence, embedding algorithms work by optimizing the distance between a word and its usual context in order to generate an embedding space that encodes the distributional representation of words. In addition to single words or word pieces, other features which result from the linguistic analysis of text, including lexical, grammatical and semantic information, can be used to improve the quality of embedding spaces. However, until now we did not have a precise understanding of the impact that such individual annotations and their possible combinations may have in the quality of the embeddings. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive study on the use of explicit linguistic annotations to generate embeddings from a scientific corpus and quantify their impact in the resulting representations. Our results show how the effect of such annotations in the embeddings varies depending on the evaluation task. In general, we observe that learning embeddings using linguistic annotations contributes to achieve better evaluation results.

  We introduce a method for the analysis of text that takes implicitly communicated content explicitly into account. We use a large language model to produce sets of propositions that are inferentially related to the text that has been observed. Our results suggest that modeling the meanings behind observed language, rather than the literal text alone, is a valuable direction for NLP.

  We consider simple language-conditioned navigation problems in a grid world environment with disentangled observations. We design an agent that encourages sparse correlations between words in the instruction and attributes of objects, composing them together to find the goal. Our agent maintains a high level of performance on goals containing novel combinations of properties even when learning from a handful of demonstrations.

  We propose a system that incorporates an adaptation of word embedding post-processing, which we call "interactive refitting" Our approach allows a human to identify and address potential quality issues with word embeddings interactively. It also allows for better insight into what effect word embeddings, and refinements to word embeddings, have on machine learning pipelines.

  Target-oriented opinion words extraction (TOWE) is a new subtask of target-oriented sentiment analysis. We show that BiLSTM-based models can effectively encode position information into word representations. We also adapt a graph convolutional network (GCN) to enhance word representations by incorporating syntactic information.

We show that an informational approach to representing the meaning of a text has offered a way to effectively predict the scientific impact of research papers.
