• Abstract: This report explores how (potentially constrained) natural language can be used to enable non-experts to develop process models by simply describing scenarios in plain text. To this end, a framework, called BeePath, is proposed. It allows users to write process descriptions in a constrained pattern-based language, which can then be translated into formal models such as Petri nets and DECLARE. The framework also leverages large language models (LLMs) to help convert unstructured descriptions into this constrained language.

  We propose a Descriptive Speech-Text Alignment approach that leverages speech captioning to bridge the gap between speech and text modalities. Our model demonstrates superior performance on the Dynamic-SUPERB benchmark, particularly in generalizing to unseen tasks. These findings highlight the potential to reshape instruction-following SLMs by incorporating descriptive rich, speech captions.

  InstructCTG is a controlled text generation framework that incorporates different constraints. We first extract the underlying constraints of natural texts through a combination of off-the-shelf NLP tools and simple verbalizes. By prepending natural language descriptions of the constraints and a few demonstrations, we fine-tune a pre-trained language model to incorporate various types of constraints.

  We present nl2spec, a framework for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) derive formal specifications from unstructured natural language. We introduce a new methodology to detect and resolve the inherent ambiguity of system requirements in natural language. Users iteratively add, delete, and edit these sub-translations to amend erroneous formalizations, which is easier than manually redrafting the entire formalization.

  We present a structured prompting approach for linguistic structured prediction tasks. We evaluate this approach on part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and sentence chunking. We find that while PLMs contain significant prior knowledge of task labels due to task leakage into the pretraining corpus, structured prompting can also retrieve linguistic structure with arbitrary labels.
