• Abstract: Task-oriented compositional semantic parsing (TCSP) handles complex nested user queries and serves as an essential component of virtual assistants. Current TCSP models rely on numerous training data to achieve decent performance but fail to generalize to low-resource target languages or domains. In this paper, we present X2Parser, a transferable Cross-lingual and Cross-domain Parser for TCSP. Unlike previous models that learn to generate the hierarchical representations for nested intents and slots, we propose to predict flattened intents and slots representations separately and cast both prediction tasks into sequence labeling problems. After that, we further propose a fertility-based slot predictor that first learns to dynamically detect the number of labels for each token, and then predicts the slot types. Experimental results illustrate that our model can significantly outperform existing strong baselines in cross-lingual and cross-domain settings, and our model can also achieve a good generalization ability on target languages of target domains. Furthermore, our model tackles the problem in an efficient non-autoregressive way that reduces the latency by up to 66% compared to the generative model.

  We propose a Multi-Task Semantic Decomposition Framework via Joint Task-specific Pre-training for few-shot NER. We introduce two novel pre-training tasks: Demonstration-based Masked Language Modeling (MLM) and Class Contrastive Discrimination. In the downstream main task, we introduce a multi-task joint optimization framework with the semantic decomposing method, which facilitates the model to integrate two different semantic information for entity classification.

• Prototype-based Embedding Network for Scene Graph Generation [105.97836135784794]
  Current Scene Graph Generation (SGG) methods explore contextual information to predict relationships among entity pairs. Due to the diverse visual appearance of numerous possible subject-object combinations, there is a large intra-class variation within each predicate category. Prototype-based Embedding Network (PE-Net) models entities/predicates with prototype-aligned compact and distinctive representations. PL is introduced to help PE-Net efficiently learn such entitypredicate matching, and Prototype Regularization (PR) is devised to relieve the ambiguous entity-predicate matching.

  Few-shot Named Entity Recognition (NER) aims to identify named entities with very little annotated data. We propose a seminal span-based prototypical network (SpanProto) that tackles few-shot NER via a two-stage approach. In the span extraction stage, we transform the sequential tags into a global boundary matrix, enabling the model to focus on the explicit boundary information. For mention classification, we leverage prototypical learning to capture the semantic representations for each labeled span and make the model better adapt to novel-class entities.

  We focus on aspect-based sentiment analysis, which involves extracting aspect term, category, and predicting their corresponding polarities. We propose to reformulate the extraction and prediction tasks into the sequence generation task, using a generative language model with unidirectional attention. Our approach outperforms the previous state-of-the-art (based on BERT) on average performance by a large margins in few-shot and full-shot settings.

  We introduce scenario-based semantic parsing: a variant of the original task which first requires disambiguating an utterance's "scenario" This formulation enables us to isolate coarse-grained and fine-grained aspects of the task, each of which we solve with off-the-shelf neural modules. Our model is modular, differentiable, interpretable, and allows us to garner extra supervision from scenarios.

Our studies reveal stable model performance despite a lack of annotated data with improvements of up to 47 F1 points when only 250 labeled sentences are available. Our results highlight the importance of specialized language models as CLIN-X for concept extraction in non-standard domains.
