• Abstract: Wordle, a word guessing game rose to global popularity in the January of 2022. The goal of the game is to guess a five-letter English word within six tries. Each try provides the player with hints by means of colour changing tiles which inform whether or not a given character is part of the solution as well as, in cases where it is part of the solution, whether or not it is in the correct placement. Numerous attempts have been made to find the best starting word and best strategy to solve the daily wordle. This study uses character statistics of five-letter words to determine the best three starting words.

  The segmentation ambiguity problem, which arises when using language models based on subwords, leads to occasional decoding failures. We propose a novel secure disambiguation method named SyncPool, which effectively addresses the segmentation ambiguity problem. SyncPool does not change the size of the candidate pool or the distribution of tokens and thus is applicable to provably secure language steganography methods.

  We can design parameterized strategies for solving Wordle, based on probabilistic, statistical, and information-theoretical information about the games. The strategies can handle a reasonably large family of Wordle-like games both systematically and dynamically. This paper will provide the results of using two families of parameterized strategies to solve the current Wordle.

  We explore the possibility of developing BERT-style pretrained model over a vocabulary of words instead of wordpieces. Results show that, compared to standard wordpiece-based BERT, WordBERT makes significant improvements on cloze test and machine reading comprehension. Since the pipeline is language-independent, we train WordBERT for Chinese language and obtain significant gains on five natural language understanding datasets.

  The problem of comparing two bodies of text and searching for words that differ in their usage arises often in digital humanities and computational social science. This is commonly approached by training word embeddings on each corpus, aligning the vector spaces, and looking for words whose cosine distance in the aligned space is large. We propose an alternative approach that does not use vector space alignment, and instead considers the neighbors of each word.

  We propose a novel hierarchical noise filtering model, namely Match-Ignition, to tackle the effectiveness and efficiency problem. The basic idea is to plug the well-known PageRank algorithm into the Transformer, to identify and filter both sentence and word level noisy information. Noisy sentences are usually easy to detect because the sentence is the basic unit of a long-form text, so we directly use PageRank to filter such information.
