• Authors: Dhanasekar Sundararaman, Vivek Subramanian, Guoyin Wang, Liyan Xu, Lawrence Carin
• Abstract summary: Numbers are essential components of text, like any other word tokens, from which natural language processing (NLP) models are built and deployed. In this work, we attempt to tap this potential of state-of-the-art NLP models and transfer their ability to boost performance in related tasks. Our proposed classification of numbers into entities helps NLP models perform well on several tasks, including a handcrafted Fill-In-The-Blank (FITB) task and on question answering using joint embeddings.

• Abstract: Numbers are essential components of text, like any other word tokens, from which natural language processing (NLP) models are built and deployed. Though numbers are typically not accounted for distinctly in most NLP tasks, there is still an underlying amount of numeracy already exhibited by NLP models. In this work, we attempt to tap this potential of state-of-the-art NLP models and transfer their ability to boost performance in related tasks. Our proposed classification of numbers into entities helps NLP models perform well on several tasks, including a handcrafted Fill-In-The-Blank (FITB) task and on question answering using joint embeddings, outperforming the BERT and RoBERTa baseline classification.

  Next-basket recommendation (NBR) aims to infer the items in the next basket given the corresponding basket sequence. HEKP4NBR transforms the knowledge graph (KG) into prompts, namely Knowledge Tree Prompt (KTP), to help PLM encode the Out-Of-Vocabulary (OOV) item IDs. A hypergraph convolutional module is designed to build a hypergraph based on item similarities measured by an MoE model from multiple aspects.

  Existing data augmentation algorithms leverage task-independent rules or fine-tune general-purpose pre-trained language models. These methods have trivial task-specific knowledge and are limited to yielding low-quality synthetic data for weak baselines in simple tasks. We propose the Knowledge Mixture Data Augmentation Model (KnowDA): an encoder-decoder LM pretrained on a mixture of diverse NLP tasks.
