• Abstract: Semantic parsing datasets are expensive to collect. Moreover, even the questions pertinent to a given domain, which are the input of a semantic parsing system, might not be readily available, especially in cross-domain semantic parsing. This makes data augmentation even more challenging. Existing methods to synthesize new data use hand-crafted or induced rules, requiring substantial engineering effort and linguistic expertise to achieve good coverage and precision, which limits the scalability. In this work, we propose a purely neural approach of data augmentation for semantic parsing that completely removes the need for grammar engineering while achieving higher semantic parsing accuracy. Furthermore, our method can synthesize in the zero-shot setting, where only a new domain schema is available without any input-output examples of the new domain. On the Spider cross-domain text-to-SQL semantic parsing benchmark, we achieve the state-of-the-art performance on the development set (77.2% accuracy) using our zero-shot augmentation.

  Single domain generalization (single DG) aims at learning a robust model generalizable to unseen domains from only one training domain. State-of-the-art approaches have mostly relied on data augmentations, such as adversarial perturbation and style enhancement, to synthesize new data. We propose emphStyDeSty, which explicitly accounts for the alignment of the source and pseudo domains in the process of data augmentation.

We show that our novel, bottom-up parsing semantic technique outperforms general-purpose semantics while also being competitive with comparable neurals.

  State-of-the-art (SOTA) semantics are seq2seq architectures based on large language models that have been pretrained on vast amounts of text. Recent work has explored a reformulation of semantic parsing whereby the output sequences are themselves natural language sentences. We show that this method delivers new SOTA few-shot performance on the Overnight dataset.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation for semantic segmentation aims to make models trained on synthetic data adapt to real images. Previous feature-level adversarial learning methods only consider adapting models on the high-level semantic features. We present the first attempt at explicitly using low-level edge information, which has a small inter-domain gap, to guide the transfer of semantic information.

  Synthetic data generation is an appealing approach to generate novel traffic scenarios in autonomous driving. Deep learning techniques trained solely on synthetic data encounter dramatic performance drops when they are tested on real data. We propose a new, unsupervised, end-to-end domain adaptation network architecture that enables semantically consistent domain adaptation between synthetic and real data.

  We propose a generative model which models the composition of programs and maps a program to an utterance. Due to the simplicity of PCFG and pre-trained BART, our generative model can be efficiently learned from existing data at hand. We evaluate our method in both in-domain and out-of-domain settings of text-to-Query parsing on the standard benchmarks of GeoQuery and Spider.

• Domain Adaptation for Semantic Parsing [68.81787666086554]
  We propose a novel semantic for domain adaptation, where we have much fewer annotated data in the target domain compared to the source domain. Our semantic benefits from a two-stage coarse-to-fine framework, thus can provide different and accurate treatments for the two stages. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show that our method consistently outperforms several popular domain adaptation strategies.
