There has been a lot of progress towards building NLP models that scale to multiple tasks. However, real-world systems contain multiple components and it is tedious to handle cross-task interaction with varying levels of text granularity.…
Word embeddings, made widely popular in 2013 with the release of word2vec, have become a mainstay of NLP engineering pipelines. Recently, with the release of BERT, word embeddings have moved from the term-based embedding space to the…
While models have reached superhuman performance on popular question answering (QA) datasets such as SQuAD, they have yet to outperform humans on the task of question answering itself. In this paper, we investigate if models are learning…
With the explosive growth of biomedical literature, designing automatic tools to extract information from the literature has great significance in biomedical research. Recently, transformer-based BERT models adapted to the biomedical domain…
BERT is a widely used pre-trained model in natural language processing. However, since BERT is quadratic to the text length, the BERT model is difficult to be used directly on the long-text corpus. In some fields, the collected text data…
This paper focuses on the development of an advanced intelligent article scoring system that not only assesses the overall quality of written work but also offers detailed feature-based scoring tailored to various article genres. By…
Open domain Question Answering (QA) systems must interact with external knowledge sources, such as web pages, to find relevant information. Information sources like Wikipedia, however, are not well structured and difficult to utilize in…
We introduce a new language representation model called BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. Unlike recent language representation models, BERT is designed to pre-train deep bidirectional…
A major focus of recent research in spoken language understanding (SLU) has been on the end-to-end approach where a single model can predict intents directly from speech inputs without intermediate transcripts. However, this approach…
Motivated by the promising performance of pre-trained language models, we investigate BERT in an evidence retrieval and claim verification pipeline for the FEVER fact extraction and verification challenge. To this end, we propose to use two…
