• Abstract summary: We aim to resolve the issues of the lack of representation of null morphemes, highly productive derivational processes, and syncretic morphemes of Turkish in the BOUN Treebank without diverging from the Universal Dependencies framework. New annotation conventions were introduced by splitting certain lemmas and employing the MISC (miscellaneous) tab in the UD framework to denote derivation. Representational capabilities of the re-annotated treebank were tested on a LSTM-based dependency and an updated version of the BoAT Tool is introduced.

• Abstract: In this study, we aim to offer linguistically motivated solutions to resolve the issues of the lack of representation of null morphemes, highly productive derivational processes, and syncretic morphemes of Turkish in the BOUN Treebank without diverging from the Universal Dependencies framework. In order to tackle these issues, new annotation conventions were introduced by splitting certain lemmas and employing the MISC (miscellaneous) tab in the UD framework to denote derivation. Representational capabilities of the re-annotated treebank were tested on a LSTM-based dependency parser and an updated version of the BoAT Tool is introduced.

• Thai Universal Dependency Treebank [0.0]
  We introduce Thai Universal Dependency Treebank (TUD), a new largest Thai treebank consisting of 3,627 trees annotated in accordance with the Universal Dependencies (UD) framework. We then benchmark dependency parsing models that incorporate pretrained encoders and train them on Thai-PUD and our TUD. The results show that most of our models can outperform other models reported in previous papers and provide insight into the optimal choices of components in Thai dependencys.

  We propose Factuality Evaluation of summarization based on Natural language Inference and Claim Extraction (FENICE) FENICE leverages an NLI-based alignment between information in the source document and a set of atomic facts, referred to as claims, extracted from the summary. Our metric sets a new state of the art on AGGREFACT, the de-facto benchmark for factuality evaluation.

• Enhancing Systematic Decompositional Natural Language Inference Using Informal Logic [51.967603572656266]
  We introduce a consistent and theoretically grounded approach to annotating decompositional entailment. We find that our new dataset, RDTE, has a substantially higher internal consistency (+9%) than prior decompositional entailment datasets. We also find that training an RDTE-oriented entailment classifier via knowledge distillation and employing it in an entailment tree reasoning engine significantly improves both accuracy and proof quality.

  Cross-lingual relation extraction (XRE) aggressively leverage the language-consistent structural features from the universal dependency (UD) resource. We investigate an unbiased UD-based XRE transfer by constructing a type of code-mixed UD forest. With such forest features, the gaps of UD-based XRE between the training and predicting phases can be effectively closed.

  unsupervised neural machine translation almost completely relieves the parallel corpus curse. We propose a new reference language-based framework for UNMT, RUNMT, in which the reference language only shares a parallel corpus with the source. Experimental results show that our methods improve the quality of UNMT over that of a strong baseline that uses only one auxiliary language.
