• Authors: Nelson F. Liu and Kenton Lee and Kristina Toutanova
• Abstract summary: We introduce the task of anchor prediction. The goal is to identify the specific part of the linked target webpage that is most related to the source linking context. We release the AuthorAnchors dataset, a collection of 34K naturally-occurring anchored links.

• Abstract: Internet links enable users to deepen their understanding of a topic by providing convenient access to related information. However, the majority of links are unanchored -- they link to a target webpage as a whole, and readers may expend considerable effort localizing the specific parts of the target webpage that enrich their understanding of the link's source context. To help readers effectively find information in linked webpages, we introduce the task of anchor prediction, where the goal is to identify the specific part of the linked target webpage that is most related to the source linking context. We release the AuthorAnchors dataset, a collection of 34K naturally-occurring anchored links, which reflect relevance judgments by the authors of the source article. To model reader relevance judgments, we annotate and release ReaderAnchors, an evaluation set of anchors that readers find useful. Our analysis shows that effective anchor prediction often requires jointly reasoning over lengthy source and target webpages to determine their implicit relations and identify parts of the target webpage that are related but not redundant. We benchmark a performant T5-based ranking approach to establish baseline performance on the task, finding ample room for improvement.

  We introduce Auto-Intent, a method to adapt a pre-trained large language model (LLM) as an agent for a target domain without direct fine-tuning. Our approach first discovers the underlying intents from target domain demonstrations unsupervisedly. We train our intent predictor to predict the next intent given the agent's past observations and actions.

  Link prediction, a fundamental task on graphs, has proven indispensable in various applications, e.g., friend recommendation, protein analysis, and drug interaction prediction. Evidence in existing literature underscores the absence of a universally best algorithm suitable for all datasets. We recognize three fundamental factors critical to link prediction: local structural proximity, global structural proximity, and feature proximity.

  We train an unsupervised dense retriever, Anchor-DR, with a contrastive learning task that matches the anchor text and the linked document. Experiments show that Anchor-DR outperforms state-of-the-art methods on unsupervised dense retrieval by a large margin. Our analysis further reveals that the pattern of anchor-document pairs is similar to that of search query-document pairs.

  Stance detection deals with identifying an author's stance towards a target. Most existing stance detection models are limited because they do not consider relevant contextual information. We propose an approach to integrate contextual information as text.

  The related work section is an important component of a scientific paper, which highlights the contribution of the target paper in the context of the reference papers. Most of the existing related work section generation methods rely on extracting off-the-shelf sentences. We propose an abstractive target-aware related work generator (TAG), which can generate related work sections consisting of new sentences.

  This work provides a methodology for detecting new links effectively using a short history. We provide statistical models for three targets: the link change rate, the presence of new links, and the number of new links. A notable finding is that, if the history of the target page is not available, then our new features, that represent the history of related pages, are most predictive for new links in the target page.

  We run a series of microtasks experiments to evaluate a large corpus of references, sampled from Wikidata triples with labels in several languages. We use a consolidated, curated version of the crowdsourced assessments to train several machine learning models to scale up the analysis to the whole of Wikidata. The findings help us ascertain the quality of references in Wikidata, and identify common challenges in defining and capturing the quality of user-generated multilingual structured data on the web.

We develop an interactive recommendation interface that proposes candidate links to editors who can confirm, reject, or adapt the recommendation.
