Autoencoding Conditional Neural Processes for Representation Learning

1 code implementation29 May 2023 Victor Prokhorov, Ivan Titov, N. Siddharth

Conditional neural processes (CNPs) are a flexible and efficient family of models that learn to learn a stochastic process from data.

StrAE: Autoencoding for Pre-Trained Embeddings using Explicit Structure

no code implementations9 May 2023 Mattia Opper, Victor Prokhorov, N. Siddharth

This work presents StrAE: a Structured Autoencoder framework that through strict adherence to explicit structure, and use of a novel contrastive objective over tree-structured representations, enables effective learning of multi-level representations.

Unsupervised Representation Disentanglement of Text: An Evaluation on Synthetic Datasets

1 code implementation ACL (RepL4NLP) 2021 Lan Zhang, Victor Prokhorov, Ehsan Shareghi

To highlight the challenges of achieving representation disentanglement for text domain in an unsupervised setting, in this paper we select a representative set of successfully applied models from the image domain.

Learning Sparse Sentence Encoding without Supervision: An Exploration of Sparsity in Variational Autoencoders

1 code implementation ACL (RepL4NLP) 2021 Victor Prokhorov, Yingzhen Li, Ehsan Shareghi, Nigel Collier

It has been long known that sparsity is an effective inductive bias for learning efficient representation of data in vectors with fixed dimensionality, and it has been explored in many areas of representation learning.

On the Importance of the Kullback-Leibler Divergence Term in Variational Autoencoders for Text Generation

1 code implementation WS 2019 Victor Prokhorov, Ehsan Shareghi, Yingzhen Li, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Nigel Collier

While the explicit constraint naturally avoids posterior collapse, we use it to further understand the significance of the KL term in controlling the information transmitted through the VAE channel.

Generating Knowledge Graph Paths from Textual Definitions using Sequence-to-Sequence Models

1 code implementation NAACL 2019 Victor Prokhorov, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Nigel Collier

We present a novel method for mapping unrestricted text to knowledge graph entities by framing the task as a sequence-to-sequence problem.

Card-660: Cambridge Rare Word Dataset - a Reliable Benchmark for Infrequent Word Representation Models

no code implementations EMNLP 2018 Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Dimitri Kartsaklis, Victor Prokhorov, Nigel Collier

Rare word representation has recently enjoyed a surge of interest, owing to the crucial role that effective handling of infrequent words can play in accurate semantic understanding.

Learning Rare Word Representations using Semantic Bridging

no code implementations24 Jul 2017 Victor Prokhorov, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar, Dimitri Kartsaklis, Pietro Lió, Nigel Collier

We propose a methodology that adapts graph embedding techniques (DeepWalk (Perozzi et al., 2014) and node2vec (Grover and Leskovec, 2016)) as well as cross-lingual vector space mapping approaches (Least Squares and Canonical Correlation Analysis) in order to merge the corpus and ontological sources of lexical knowledge.
