Label Verbalization and Entailment for Effective Zero and Few-Shot Relation Extraction

1 code implementation EMNLP 2021 Oscar Sainz, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Gorka Labaka, Ander Barrena, Eneko Agirre

In our experiments on TACRED we attain 63% F1 zero-shot, 69% with 16 examples per relation (17% points better than the best supervised system on the same conditions), and only 4 points short to the state-of-the-art (which uses 20 times more training data).

NLP Evaluation in trouble: On the Need to Measure LLM Data Contamination for each Benchmark

1 code implementation27 Oct 2023 Oscar Sainz, Jon Ander Campos, Iker García-Ferrero, Julen Etxaniz, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Eneko Agirre

In this position paper, we argue that the classical evaluation on Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks using annotated benchmarks is in trouble.

GoLLIE: Annotation Guidelines improve Zero-Shot Information-Extraction

1 code implementation5 Oct 2023 Oscar Sainz, Iker García-Ferrero, Rodrigo Agerri, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, German Rigau, Eneko Agirre

In this paper, we propose GoLLIE (Guideline-following Large Language Model for IE), a model able to improve zero-shot results on unseen IE tasks by virtue of being fine-tuned to comply with annotation guidelines.

Do Multilingual Language Models Think Better in English?

1 code implementation2 Aug 2023 Julen Etxaniz, Gorka Azkune, Aitor Soroa, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Mikel Artetxe

In this work, we introduce a new approach called self-translate, which overcomes the need of an external translation system by leveraging the few-shot translation capabilities of multilingual language models.

Textual Entailment for Event Argument Extraction: Zero- and Few-Shot with Multi-Source Learning

1 code implementation Findings (NAACL) 2022 Oscar Sainz, Itziar Gonzalez-Dios, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Bonan Min, Eneko Agirre

In this work we show that entailment is also effective in Event Argument Extraction (EAE), reducing the need of manual annotation to 50% and 20% in ACE and WikiEvents respectively, while achieving the same performance as with full training.

Image Captioning for Effective Use of Language Models in Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering

1 code implementation15 Sep 2021 Ander Salaberria, Gorka Azkune, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Aitor Soroa, Eneko Agirre

Our results on a visual question answering task which requires external knowledge (OK-VQA) show that our text-only model outperforms pretrained multimodal (image-text) models of comparable number of parameters.

Detection of Reading Absorption in User-Generated Book Reviews: Resources Creation and Evaluation

no code implementations LREC 2020 Piroska Lendvai, S{\'a}ndor Dar{\'a}nyi, Christian Geng, Moniek Kuijpers, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Jean-Christophe Mensonides, Simone Rebora, Uwe Reichel

To detect how and when readers are experiencing engagement with a literary work, we bring together empirical literary studies and language technology via focusing on the affective state of absorption.

Linguistic Appropriateness and Pedagogic Usefulness of Reading Comprehension Questions

no code implementations LREC 2020 Andrea Horbach, Itziar Aldabe, Marie Bexte, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Montse Maritxalar

Automatic generation of reading comprehension questions is a topic receiving growing interest in the NLP community, but there is currently no consensus on evaluation metrics and many approaches focus on linguistic quality only while ignoring the pedagogic value and appropriateness of questions.

Domain Adapted Distant Supervision for Pedagogically Motivated Relation Extraction

no code implementations LREC 2020 Oscar Sainz, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Itziar Aldabe, Montse Maritxalar

In this paper we present a relation extraction system that given a text extracts pedagogically motivated relation types, as a previous step to obtaining a semantic representation of the text which will make possible to automatically generate questions for reading comprehension.

Word Sense-Aware Machine Translation: Including Senses as Contextual Features for Improved Translation Models

no code implementations LREC 2016 Steven Neale, Lu{\'\i}s Gomes, Eneko Agirre, Oier Lopez de Lacalle, Ant{\'o}nio Branco

Although it is commonly assumed that word sense disambiguation (WSD) should help to improve lexical choice and improve the quality of machine translation systems, how to successfully integrate word senses into such systems remains an unanswered question.
