• Abstract: Scientific claim verification can help the researchers to easily find the target scientific papers with the sentence evidence from a large corpus for the given claim. Some existing works propose pipeline models on the three tasks of abstract retrieval, rationale selection and stance prediction. Such works have the problems of error propagation among the modules in the pipeline and lack of sharing valuable information among modules. We thus propose an approach, named as ARSJoint, that jointly learns the modules for the three tasks with a machine reading comprehension framework by including claim information. In addition, we enhance the information exchanges and constraints among tasks by proposing a regularization term between the sentence attention scores of abstract retrieval and the estimated outputs of rational selection. The experimental results on the benchmark dataset SciFact show that our approach outperforms the existing works.

  Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) aims to extract relations between entities from unstructured document text. To overcome these challenges, we propose GEGA, a novel model for DocRE. We evaluate the GEGA model on three widely used benchmark datasets: DocRED, Re-DocRED, and Revisit-DocRED.

  We propose a hybrid methodology for research paper summarisation. We use two models based on unsupervised learning for the extraction stage and two transformer language models. We find that using certain combinations of hyper parameters, it is possible for automated summarisation systems to exceed the abstractiveness of summaries written by humans.

  We introduce a Structural Causal Model (SCM) to induce the underlying causal structure of the summarization data. We propose a Causality Inspired Sequence-to-Sequence model (CI-Seq2Seq) to learn the causal representations that can mimic the causal factors. Experimental results on two widely used text summarization datasets demonstrate the advantages of our approach.

  A notable challenge in Multi-Document Summarization (MDS) is the extremely-long length of the input. We present an extract-then-abstract Transformer framework to overcome the problem. We propose a loss weighting mechanism that makes the model aware of the unequal importance for the sentences not in the pseudo extraction oracle.

  We propose to explicitly teach the model to capture relevant contexts and entity types by supervising and augmenting intermediate steps (SAIS) for relation extraction. Based on a broad spectrum of carefully designed tasks, our proposed SAIS method not only extracts relations of better quality due to more effective supervision, but also retrieves the corresponding supporting evidence more accurately.

• Multi-Fact Correction in Abstractive Text Summarization [98.27031108197944]
  Span-Fact is a suite of two factual correction models that leverages knowledge learned from question answering models to make corrections in system-generated summaries via span selection. Our models employ single or multi-masking strategies to either iteratively or auto-regressively replace entities in order to ensure semantic consistency w.r.t. the source text. Experiments show that our models significantly boost the factual consistency of system-generated summaries without sacrificing summary quality in terms of both automatic metrics and human evaluation.
