• Authors: Yuval Marton, Asad Sayeed
• Abstract summary: Modeling thematic fit (a verb--argument compositional semantics task) currently requires a very large burden of data. We take a high-performing neural approach to modeling verb--argument fit, previously trained on a linguistically machine-annotated large corpus, and replace corpus layers with output from higher-quality taggers.

• Abstract: Modeling thematic fit (a verb--argument compositional semantics task) currently requires a very large burden of data. We take a high-performing neural approach to modeling verb--argument fit, previously trained on a linguistically machine-annotated large corpus, and replace corpus layers with output from higher-quality taggers. Contrary to popular beliefs that, in the deep learning era, more data is as effective as higher quality annotation, we discover that higher annotation quality dramatically reduces our data requirement while demonstrating better supervised predicate-argument classification. But in applying the model to a psycholinguistic task outside the training objective, we saw only small gains in one of two thematic fit estimation tasks, and none in the other. We replicate previous studies while modifying certain role representation details, and set a new state-of-the-art in event modeling, using a fraction of the data.

  In short texts, co-occurrence information is minimal, which results in feature sparsity in document representation. Existing topic models (probabilistic or neural) mostly fail to mine patterns from them to generate coherent topics. We extend short text into longer sequences using existing pre-trained language models (PLMs)

  Models pretrained with self-supervised objectives on large text corpora achieve state-of-the-art performance on English text summarization tasks. Models are typically fine-tuned on hundreds of thousands of data points, an infeasible requirement when applying summarization to new, niche domains. We introduce a novel and generalizable method, called WikiTransfer, for fine-tuning pretrained models for summarization in an unsupervised, dataset-specific manner.
