• Abstract: Phrase representations play an important role in data science and natural language processing, benefiting various tasks like Entity Alignment, Record Linkage, Fuzzy Joins, and Paraphrase Classification. The current state-of-the-art method involves fine-tuning pre-trained language models for phrasal embeddings using contrastive learning. However, we have identified areas for improvement. First, these pre-trained models tend to be unnecessarily complex and require to be pre-trained on a corpus with context sentences. Second, leveraging the phrase type and morphology gives phrase representations that are both more precise and more flexible. We propose an improved framework to learn phrase representations in a context-free fashion. The framework employs phrase type classification as an auxiliary task and incorporates character-level information more effectively into the phrase representation. Furthermore, we design three granularities of data augmentation to increase the diversity of training samples. Our experiments across a wide range of tasks show that our approach generates superior phrase embeddings compared to previous methods while requiring a smaller model size.

  Recent foundational language models have shown state-of-the-art performance in many NLP tasks in zero- and few-shot settings. An advantage of these models over more standard approaches is the ability to understand instructions written in natural language (prompts) This makes them suitable for addressing text classification problems for domains with limited amounts of annotated instances.

  Recent Vision-Language Pretrained models have become the backbone for many downstream tasks. MLE training can lead the context vector to over-fit dominant image features in the training data. This paper presents a Bayesian-based framework of prompt learning, which could alleviate the overfitting issues on few-shot learning application.

  We present EXnet, a model specifically designed to perform in-context learning without limitations on the number of examples. We argue that in-context learning is an effective method to increase task accuracy, and providing examples facilitates cross-task generalization. With extensive experiments, we show that even our smallest model (15M parameters) generalizes to several unseen classification tasks and domains.
