Distributional properties of political dogwhistle representations in Swedish BERT

no code implementations NAACL (WOAH) 2022 Niclas Hertzberg, Robin Cooper, Elina Lindgren, Björn Rönnerstrand, Gregor Rettenegger, Ellen Breitholtz, Asad Sayeed

“Dogwhistles” are expressions intended by the speaker have two messages: a socially-unacceptable “in-group” message understood by a subset of listeners, and a benign message intended for the out-group.

Visual Writing Prompts: Character-Grounded Story Generation with Curated Image Sequences

no code implementations20 Jan 2023 Xudong Hong, Asad Sayeed, Khushboo Mehra, Vera Demberg, Bernt Schiele

The image sequences are aligned with a total of 12K stories which were collected via crowdsourcing given the image sequences and a set of grounded characters from the corresponding image sequence.

Multi-Task Learning for Joint Semantic Role and Proto-Role Labeling

no code implementations13 Oct 2022 Aashish Arora, Harshitha Malireddi, Daniel Bauer, Asad Sayeed, Yuval Marton

Unlike previous work, our model does not require pre-training or fine-tuning on additional tasks, beyond using off-the-shelf (static or contextual) embeddings and supervision.

Where's the Learning in Representation Learning for Compositional Semantics and the Case of Thematic Fit

no code implementations9 Aug 2022 Mughilan Muthupari, Samrat Halder, Asad Sayeed, Yuval Marton

Observing that for certain NLP tasks, such as semantic role prediction or thematic fit estimation, random embeddings perform as well as pretrained embeddings, we explore what settings allow for this and examine where most of the learning is encoded: the word embeddings, the semantic role embeddings, or ``the network''.

Thematic Fit Bits: Annotation Quality and Quantity Interplay for Event Participant Representation

1 code implementation LREC 2022 Yuval Marton, Asad Sayeed

We compare the old and new corpus versions' impact on a verb--argument fit modeling task, using a high-performing neural approach.

Diverse and Relevant Visual Storytelling with Scene Graph Embeddings

no code implementations CONLL 2020 Xudong Hong, Rakshith Shetty, Asad Sayeed, Khushboo Mehra, Vera Demberg, Bernt Schiele

A problem in automatically generated stories for image sequences is that they use overly generic vocabulary and phrase structure and fail to match the distributional characteristics of human-generated text.

Visual Storytelling

Exploiting Cross-Lingual Hints to Discover Event Pronouns

no code implementations LREC 2020 Sharid Lo{\'a}iciga, Christian Hardmeier, Asad Sayeed

Non-nominal co-reference is much less studied than nominal coreference, partly because of the lack of annotated corpora.

An Annotation Approach for Social and Referential Gaze in Dialogue

no code implementations LREC 2020 Vidya Somashekarappa, Christine Howes, Asad Sayeed

This paper introduces an approach for annotating eye gaze considering both its social and the referential functions in multi-modal human-human dialogue.

A Hybrid Model for Globally Coherent Story Generation

no code implementations WS 2019 Fangzhou Zhai, Vera Demberg, Pavel Shkadzko, Wei Shi, Asad Sayeed

The model exploits a symbolic text planning module to produce text plans, thus reducing the demand of data; a neural surface realization module then generates fluent text conditioned on the text plan.

Story Generation

Verb-Second Effect on Quantifier Scope Interpretation

no code implementations WS 2019 Asad Sayeed, Matthias Lindemann, Vera Demberg

Sentences like {``}Every child climbed a tree{''} have at least two interpretations depending on the precedence order of the universal quantifier and the indefinite.
