• Abstract: Natural Language Inference (NLI) models are known to learn from biases and artefacts within their training data, impacting how well the models generalise to other unseen datasets. While previous de-biasing approaches focus on preventing models learning from these biases, we instead provide models with information about how a human would approach the task, with the aim of encouraging the model to learn features that will generalise better to out-of-domain datasets. Using natural language explanations, we supervise a model's attention weights to encourage more attention to be paid to the words present in these explanations. For the first time, we show that training with human generated explanations can simultaneously improve performance both in-distribution and out-of-distribution for NLI, whereas most related work on robustness involves a trade-off between the two. Training with the human explanations encourages models to attend more broadly across the sentences, paying more attention to words in the premise and less attention to stop-words and punctuation. The supervised models attend to words humans believe are important, creating more robust and better performing NLI models.

  We introduce DIFfusionHOI, a new HOI detector shedding light on text-to-image diffusion models. We first devise an inversion-based strategy to learn the expression of relation patterns between humans and objects in embedding space. These learned relation embeddings then serve as textual prompts, to steer diffusion models generate images that depict specific interactions.

  Modern neural language models (LMs) are powerful tools for modeling human sentence production and comprehension. But to achieve these results, LMs must be trained in distinctly un-human-like ways. Do models trained more naturalistically -- with grounded supervision -- exhibit more humanlike language learning? We investigate this question in the context of word learning, a key sub-task in language acquisition.

  We introduce commonsense knowledge transfer, a framework to transfer the commonsense knowledge stored in a neural commonsense knowledge model to a general-purpose pre-trained language model. It first exploits general texts to form queries for extracting commonsense knowledge from the neural commonsense knowledge model. It then refines the language model with two self-supervised objectives: commonsense mask infilling and commonsense relation prediction.

  We propose a novel technique, Chain of Hindsight, that is easy to optimize and can learn from any form of feedback, regardless of its polarity. We convert all types of feedback into sequences of sentences, which are then used to fine-tune the model. By doing so, the model is trained to generate outputs based on feedback, while learning to identify and correct negative attributes or errors.

  State-of-the-art models achieve slightly above 45% of F-score by using hand-crafted features. We find that the pre-trained language models, when finetuned, are powerful enough to replace the linguistic features. This is the first time when a model outperforms the knowledge intensive models without employing any linguistic features.
