• Authors: Shu'ang Li, Xuming Hu, Li Lin, Lijie Wen
• Abstract summary: We propose a Pair-level Supervised Contrastive Learning approach (PairSCL) A contrastive learning objective is designed to distinguish the varied classes of sentence pairs by pulling those in one class together and pushing apart the pairs in other classes. We evaluate PairSCL on two public datasets of NLI where the accuracy of PairSCL outperforms other methods by 2.1% on average.

• Abstract: Natural language inference (NLI) is an increasingly important task for natural language understanding, which requires one to infer the relationship between the sentence pair (premise and hypothesis). Many recent works have used contrastive learning by incorporating the relationship of the sentence pair from NLI datasets to learn sentence representation. However, these methods only focus on comparisons with sentence-level representations. In this paper, we propose a Pair-level Supervised Contrastive Learning approach (PairSCL). We adopt a cross attention module to learn the joint representations of the sentence pairs. A contrastive learning objective is designed to distinguish the varied classes of sentence pairs by pulling those in one class together and pushing apart the pairs in other classes. We evaluate PairSCL on two public datasets of NLI where the accuracy of PairSCL outperforms other methods by 2.1% on average. Furthermore, our method outperforms the previous state-of-the-art method on seven transfer tasks of text classification.

  We propose a novel denoising objective that inherits from another perspective, i.e., the intra-sentence perspective. By introducing both discrete and continuous noise, we generate noisy sentences and then train our model to restore them to their original form. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that this approach delivers competitive results on both semantic textual similarity (STS) and a wide range of transfer tasks.

  We propose a cross-lingual pre-trained model VECO2.0 based on contrastive learning with multi-granularity alignments. Specifically, the sequence-to-sequence alignment is induced to maximize the similarity of the parallel pairs and minimize the non-parallel pairs. token-to-token alignment is integrated to bridge the gap between synonymous tokens excavated via the thesaurus dictionary from the other unpaired tokens in a bilingual instance.

  Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has recently shown great promise in pixel-level zero-shot learning tasks. Existing approaches utilizing CLIP's text and patch embeddings to generate semantic masks often misidentify input pixels from unseen classes. We propose TagCLIP (Trusty-aware guided CLIP) to address this issue.
