Dataset curation has become a basis for strong large language model (LLM) performance. While various rule-based filtering heuristics exist for English and multilingual datasets, model-based filtering techniques have primarily focused on…
The quality of a multilingual speech recognition system can be improved by adaptation methods if the input language is specified. For systems that can accept multilingual inputs, the popular approach is to apply a language identifier to the…
Face recognition has been widely studied due to its importance in different applications; however, most of the proposed methods fail when face images are occluded or captured under illumination and pose variations. Recently several low-rank…
Open-set face recognition describes a scenario where unknown subjects, unseen during the training stage, appear on test time. Not only it requires methods that accurately identify individuals of interest, but also demands approaches that…
Multilingual (or cross-lingual) embeddings represent several languages in a unique vector space. Using a common embedding space enables for a shared semantic between words from different languages. In this paper, we propose to embed images…
Visual recognition tasks are often limited to dealing with a small subset of classes simply because the labels for the remaining classes are unavailable. We are interested in identifying novel concepts in a dataset through representation…
One-class classification (OCC), which models one single positive class and distinguishes it from the negative class, has been a long-standing topic with pivotal application to realms like anomaly detection. As modern society often deals…
Many NLP applications require disambiguating polysemous words. Existing methods that learn polysemous word vector representations involve first detecting various senses and optimizing the sense-specific embeddings separately, which are…
Interpreting the learned features of vision models has posed a longstanding challenge in the field of machine learning. To address this issue, we propose a novel method that leverages the capabilities of language models to interpret the…
We propose a deep learning-based solution for the problem of feature learning in one-class classification. The proposed method operates on top of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) of choice and produces descriptive features while…
We present a new method for estimating vector space representations of words: embedding learning by concept induction. We test this method on a highly parallel corpus and learn semantic representations of words in 1259 different languages…
The open-set text recognition task is an emerging challenge that requires an extra capability to cognize novel characters during evaluation. We argue that a major cause of the limited performance for current methods is the confounding…
In this paper, we propose the first multilingual study on definition modeling. We use monolingual dictionary data for four new languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German) and perform an in-depth empirical study to test the…
Multilingual pretrained language models (such as multilingual BERT) have achieved impressive results for cross-lingual transfer. However, due to the constant model capacity, multilingual pre-training usually lags behind the monolingual…
Many applications require categorization of text documents using predefined categories. The main approach to performing text categorization is learning from labeled examples. For many tasks, it may be difficult to find examples in one…
A statistical classification algorithm and its application to language identification from noisy input are described. The main innovation is to compute confidence limits on the classification, so that the algorithm terminates when enough…
Real-world recognition system often encounters the challenge of unseen labels. To identify such unseen labels, multi-label zero-shot learning (ML-ZSL) focuses on transferring knowledge by a pre-trained textual label embedding (e.g., GloVe).…
Image-classification datasets have been used to pretrain image recognition models. Recently, web-scale image-caption datasets have emerged as a source of powerful pretraining alternative. Image-caption datasets are more ``open-domain'',…
In this paper we propose and carefully evaluate a sequence labeling framework which solely utilizes sparse indicator features derived from dense distributed word representations. The proposed model obtains (near) state-of-the art…
Slot filling is an important problem in Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), which involves identifying a user's intent and assigning a semantic concept to each word in a sentence. This paper presents a…
