• Abstract summary: We introduce BenchCLAMP, a Benchmark to evaluate Constrained LAnguage Model Parsing. We benchmark eight language models, including two GPT-3 variants available only through an API. Our experiments show that encoder-decoder pretrained language models can achieve similar performance or surpass state-of-the-art methods for syntactic and semantic parsing when the model output is constrained to be valid.

• Abstract: Recent work has shown that generation from a prompted or fine-tuned language model can perform well at semantic parsing when the output is constrained to be a valid semantic representation. We introduce BenchCLAMP, a Benchmark to evaluate Constrained LAnguage Model Parsing, that includes context-free grammars for seven semantic parsing datasets and two syntactic parsing datasets with varied output representations, as well as a constrained decoding interface to generate only valid outputs covered by these grammars. We provide low, medium, and high resource splits for each dataset, allowing accurate comparison of various language models under different data regimes. Our benchmark supports evaluation of language models using prompt-based learning as well as fine-tuning. We benchmark eight language models, including two GPT-3 variants available only through an API. Our experiments show that encoder-decoder pretrained language models can achieve similar performance or surpass state-of-the-art methods for syntactic and semantic parsing when the model output is constrained to be valid.

  We propose a representation model to encode speech in bidirectional rich encodings. The approach uses a masked language modelling objective to learn the representations. We show that the performance of the resulting encodings is better than comparable models on multiple datasets.

  The paper conceptualizes the LM as a conditional model generating text given a desired semantic message formalized as a set of entity-relationship triples. It embeds the LM in an auto-encoder by feeding its output to a semantic fluency whose output is in the same representation domain as the input message. We show that our proposed approaches significantly improve on the greedy search baseline.

  We analyze zero-shot learning by paraphrasing training examples of canonical utterances and programs from a grammar. We propose bridging these gaps using improved grammars, stronger paraphrasers, and efficient learning methods. Our model achieves strong performance on two semantic parsing benchmarks (Scholar, Geo) with zero labeled data.

• Constrained Language Models Yield Few-Shot Semantic Parsers [73.50960967598654]
  We explore the use of large pretrained language models as few-shot semantics. The goal in semantic parsing is to generate a structured meaning representation given a natural language input. We use language models to paraphrase inputs into a controlled sublanguage resembling English that can be automatically mapped to a target meaning representation.
