• Abstract summary: We train a classifier that identifies machine-written sentences, and observe that the linguistic features of the sentences identified as written by a machine are significantly different from those of human-written sentences. The distilled information from the classifier is then used to train a reliable sentence embedding model. Our model trained on synthetic data generalizes well and outperforms the existing baselines.

• Abstract: Semantically meaningful sentence embeddings are important for numerous tasks in natural language processing. To obtain such embeddings, recent studies explored the idea of utilizing synthetically generated data from pretrained language models (PLMs) as a training corpus. However, PLMs often generate sentences much different from the ones written by human. We hypothesize that treating all these synthetic examples equally for training deep neural networks can have an adverse effect on learning semantically meaningful embeddings. To analyze this, we first train a classifier that identifies machine-written sentences, and observe that the linguistic features of the sentences identified as written by a machine are significantly different from those of human-written sentences. Based on this, we propose a novel approach that first trains the classifier to measure the importance of each sentence. The distilled information from the classifier is then used to train a reliable sentence embedding model. Through extensive evaluation on four real-world datasets, we demonstrate that our model trained on synthetic data generalizes well and outperforms the existing baselines. Our implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/ddehun/coling2022_reweighting_sts.

  We propose a novel co-training method that assigns weights based on the training dynamics of the classifiers to the distantly supervised labels. By assigning importance weights instead of filtering out examples based on an arbitrary threshold on the predicted confidence, we maximize the usage of automatically labeled data. The proposed method obtains an improvement of 1.5% in Macro F1 over the distant supervision baseline, and substantial improvements over several other strong SSL baselines.

  Our goal is to understand the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of pre-training models when using synthetic resources. We propose several novel approaches to pre-training translation models that involve different levels of lexical and structural knowledge. Our experiments on multiple language pairs reveal that pre-training benefits can be realized even with high levels of obfuscation or purely synthetic parallel data.

  We propose a method for sentence ordering which does not need a training phase and consequently a large corpus for learning. Our proposed method outperformed other baselines on ROCStories, a corpus of 5-sentence human-made stories. Among other advantages of this method are its interpretability and needlessness to linguistic knowledge.
