• Abstract: Analogical proportions are statements of the form "$a$ is to $b$ as $c$ is to $d$", which expresses that the comparisons of the elements in pair $(a, b)$ and in pair $(c, d)$ yield similar results. Analogical proportions are creative in the sense that given 3 distinct items, the representation of a 4th item $d$, distinct from the previous items, which forms an analogical proportion with them can be calculated, provided certain conditions are met. After providing an introduction to analogical proportions and their properties, the paper reports the results of an experiment made with a database of animal descriptions and their class, where we try to "create" new animals from existing ones, retrieving rare animals such as platypus. We perform a series of experiments using word embeddings as well as Boolean features in order to propose novel animals based on analogical proportions, showing that word embeddings obtain better results.

  Free-text explanations are expressive and easy to understand, but many datasets lack annotated explanation data. We fine-tune T5-Large and OLMo-7B models and assess the impact of fine-tuning data quality, the number of fine-tuning samples, and few-shot selection methods. The models are evaluated on 19 diverse OOD datasets across three tasks: natural language inference (NLI), fact-checking, and hallucination detection in abstractive summarization.

  This paper focuses on learning part segmentation from synthetic animals, leveraging the Skinned Multi-Animal Linear (SMAL) models. We benchmark Syn-to-Real animal part segmentation from SAP to PartImageNet, namely SynRealPart, with existing semantic segmentation domain adaptation methods. Remarkably, our third contribution is to reveal that the learned parts from synthetic tiger and horse are transferable across all quadrupeds in PartImageNet.

  The rVRAIN team tackled the Budget Argument Mining (BAM) task, consisting of a combination of classification and information retrieval sub-tasks. For the argument classification (AC), the team achieved its best performing results with a five-class BERT-based cascade model complemented with some handcrafted rules. For the information retrieval (i.e., relation ID detection or RID), our best results were achieved by a combination of a BERT-based binary classifier, and the cosine similarity of pairs consisting of the monetary expression and budget dense embeddings.

We propose to utilize an attributed value encoder and partition the KG into subgraphs to model the various types of attribute triples efficiently.

  Supervised neural networks first map an input $x$ to a single representation $z$, and then map $z$ to the output label $y$. We present methods to improve robustness and generality of NLP models from the standpoint of disentangled representation learning. We show that models trained with the proposed criteria provide better robustness and domain adaptation ability in a wide range of supervised learning tasks.
