IBM MNLP IE at CASE 2021 Task 2: NLI Reranking for Zero-Shot Text Classification

no code implementations ACL (CASE) 2021 Ken Barker, Parul Awasthy, Jian Ni, Radu Florian

The NLI reranker uses a textual representation of target types that allows it to score the strength with which a type is implied by a text, without requiring training data for the types.

Distilling Event Sequence Knowledge From Large Language Models

no code implementations14 Jan 2024 Somin Wadhwa, Oktie Hassanzadeh, Debarun Bhattacharjya, Ken Barker, Jian Ni

In this work, we explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate event sequences that can effectively be used for probabilistic event model construction.

Towards Lingua Franca Named Entity Recognition with BERT

no code implementations19 Nov 2019 Taesun Moon, Parul Awasthy, Jian Ni, Radu Florian

In this paper we investigate a single Named Entity Recognition model, based on a multilingual BERT, that is trained jointly on many languages simultaneously, and is able to decode these languages with better accuracy than models trained only on one language.

Dual Adversarial Semantics-Consistent Network for Generalized Zero-Shot Learning

no code implementations NeurIPS 2019 Jian Ni, Shanghang Zhang, Haiyong Xie

In particular, the primal GAN learns to synthesize inter-class discriminative and semantics-preserving visual features from both the semantic representations of seen/unseen classes and the ones reconstructed by the dual GAN.

Improving Multilingual Named Entity Recognition with Wikipedia Entity Type Mapping

no code implementations EMNLP 2016 Jian Ni, Radu Florian

Experimental results show that the proposed approaches are effective in improving the accuracy of such systems on unseen entities, especially when a system is applied to a new domain or it is trained with little training data (up to 18. 3 F1 score improvement).

Learning Loosely Connected Markov Random Fields

no code implementations25 Apr 2012 Rui Wu, R. Srikant, Jian Ni

We consider the structure learning problem for graphical models that we call loosely connected Markov random fields, in which the number of short paths between any pair of nodes is small, and present a new conditional independence test based algorithm for learning the underlying graph structure.
