• Title: Real-World Compositional Generalization with Disentangled Sequence-to-Sequence Learning
• Authors: Hao Zheng and Mirella Lapata
• Abstract summary: A recently proposed Disentangled sequence-to-sequence model (Dangle) shows promising generalization capability. We introduce two key modifications to this model which encourage more disentangled representations and improve its compute and memory efficiency. Specifically, instead of adaptively re-encoding source keys and values at each time step, we disentangle their representations and only re-encode keys periodically.

• Abstract: Compositional generalization is a basic mechanism in human language learning, which current neural networks struggle with. A recently proposed Disentangled sequence-to-sequence model (Dangle) shows promising generalization capability by learning specialized encodings for each decoding step. We introduce two key modifications to this model which encourage more disentangled representations and improve its compute and memory efficiency, allowing us to tackle compositional generalization in a more realistic setting. Specifically, instead of adaptively re-encoding source keys and values at each time step, we disentangle their representations and only re-encode keys periodically, at some interval. Our new architecture leads to better generalization performance across existing tasks and datasets, and a new machine translation benchmark which we create by detecting naturally occurring compositional patterns in relation to a training set. We show this methodology better emulates real-world requirements than artificial challenges.

  Generalization to new domains not seen during training is one of the long-standing challenges in deploying neural networks in real-world applications. We introduce a simple framework for generalizing semantic segmentation networks by employing language as the source of randomization. Our recipe comprises three key ingredients: (i) the preservation of the intrinsic CLIP robustness through minimal fine-tuning, (ii) language-driven local style augmentation, and (iii) randomization by locally mixing the source and augmented styles during training.

  Systematic compositionality is an essential mechanism in human language, allowing the recombination of known parts to create novel expressions.

We propose two auxiliary sequence prediction tasks that track the progress of function and argument semantics.
