• Abstract: Previous approaches to the task of implicit discourse relation recognition (IDRR) generally view it as a classification task. Even with pre-trained language models, like BERT and RoBERTa, IDRR still relies on complicated neural networks with multiple intermediate layers to proper capture the interaction between two discourse units. As a result, the outputs of these intermediate layers may have different capability in discriminating instances of different classes. To this end, we propose to adapt a supervised contrastive learning (CL) method, label- and instance-centered CL, to enhance representation learning. Moreover, we propose a novel constrained multi-layer CL approach to properly impose a constraint that the contrastive loss of higher layers should be smaller than that of lower layers. Experimental results on PDTB 2.0 and PDTB 3.0 show that our approach can significantly improve the performance on both multi-class classification and binary classification.

  We propose a progressive multi-scale consistent network (PMCNet) that integrates the proposed progressive feature fusion (PFF) block and dynamic attention block (DAB) PFF block progressively integrates multi-scale features from adjacent encoding layers, facilitating feature learning of each layer by aggregating fine-grained details and high-level semantics. DAB is designed to dynamically learn the attentive cues from the fused features at different scales, thus aiming to smooth the essential conflicts existing in multi-scale features.

  This paper argues that learning by contextually comparing sequence-to-sequence distinctions offers an essential inductive bias in weakly-supervised action localization. Under a differentiable dynamic programming formulation, two complementary contrastive objectives are designed, including Fine-grained Sequence Distance (FSD) contrasting and Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) contrasting. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on two popular benchmarks.

We propose unbiased Dense Contrastive Visual-Linguistic Pretraining to replace the region regression and classification with cross-modality region contrastive learning.
