EROS: Entity-Driven Controlled Policy Document Summarization

no code implementations29 Feb 2024 Joykirat Singh, Sehban Fazili, Rohan Jain, Md Shad Akhtar

In this paper, we propose to enhance the interpretability and readability of policy documents by using controlled abstractive summarization -- we enforce the generated summaries to include critical privacy-related entities (e. g., data and medium) and organization's rationale (e. g., target and reason) in collecting those entities.

Persona-aware Generative Model for Code-mixed Language

no code implementations6 Sep 2023 Ayan Sengupta, Md Shad Akhtar, Tanmoy Chakraborty

We propose a Persona-aware Generative Model for Code-mixed Generation, PARADOX, a novel Transformer-based encoder-decoder model that encodes an utterance conditioned on a user's persona and generates code-mixed texts without monolingual reference data.

Multi-modal Sarcasm Detection and Humor Classification in Code-mixed Conversations

1 code implementation20 May 2021 Manjot Bedi, Shivani Kumar, Md Shad Akhtar, Tanmoy Chakraborty

In this work, we make two major contributions considering the above limitations: (1) we develop a Hindi-English code-mixed dataset, MaSaC, for the multi-modal sarcasm detection and humor classification in conversational dialog, which to our knowledge is the first dataset of its kind; (2) we propose MSH-COMICS, a novel attention-rich neural architecture for the utterance classification.
