Acquiring a large vocabulary is an important aspect of human intelligence. Onecommon approach for human to populating vocabulary is to learn words duringreading or listening, and then use them in writing or speaking. This ability totransfer…

Many tasks in natural language understanding require learning relationships between two sequences for various tasks such as natural language inference, paraphrasing and entailment. These aforementioned tasks are similar in nature, yet they…

Few-shot learning deals with problems such as image classification using very few training examples. Recent vision foundation models show excellent few-shot transfer abilities, but are large and slow at inference. Using knowledge…

In this paper, we explore meta-learning for few-shot text classification. Meta-learning has shown strong performance in computer vision, where low-level patterns are transferable across learning tasks. However, directly applying this…

Few-shot classification is a challenging problem due to the uncertainty caused by using few labelled samples. In the past few years, many methods have been proposed with the common aim of transferring knowledge acquired on a previously…

Few-shot learning aims to train models that can recognize novel classes given just a handful of labeled examples, known as the support set. While the field has seen notable advances in recent years, they have often focused on multi-class…

When trained at sufficient scale, auto-regressive language models exhibit the notable ability to learn a new language task after being prompted with just a few examples. Here, we present a simple, yet effective, approach for transferring…

Non-parallel text style transfer is an important task in natural language generation. However, previous studies concentrate on the token or sentence level, such as sentence sentiment and formality transfer, but neglect long style transfer…

Few-shot relation extraction aims to recognize novel relations with few labeled sentences in each relation. Previous metric-based few-shot relation extraction algorithms identify relationships by comparing the prototypes generated by the…

This paper tackles the problem of few-shot learning, which aims to learn new visual concepts from a few examples. A common problem setting in few-shot classification assumes random sampling strategy in acquiring data labels, which is…

Pre-trained vision and language models such as CLIP have witnessed remarkable success in connecting images and texts with a primary focus on English texts. Despite recent efforts to extend CLIP to support other languages, disparities in…

Providing pretrained language models with simple task descriptions in natural language enables them to solve some tasks in a fully unsupervised fashion. Moreover, when combined with regular learning from examples, this idea yields…

Multimodal few-shot learning is challenging due to the large domain gap between vision and language modalities. Existing methods are trying to communicate visual concepts as prompts to frozen language models, but rely on hand-engineered…

Authorship style transfer involves altering text to match the style of a target author whilst preserving the original meaning. Existing unsupervised approaches like STRAP have largely focused on style transfer to target authors with many…

In this study, we address the importance of modeling behavior style in virtual agents for personalized human-agent interaction. We propose a machine learning approach to synthesize gestures, driven by prosodic features and text, in the…

Language Models (LMs) can perform new tasks by adapting to a few in-context examples. For humans, explanations that connect examples to task principles can improve learning. We therefore investigate whether explanations of few-shot examples…

Humans are naturally endowed with the ability to write in a particular style. They can, for instance, re-phrase a formal letter in an informal way, convey a literal message with the use of figures of speech or edit a novel by mimicking the…

We investigate the potential of ChatGPT as a multidimensional evaluator for the task of \emph{Text Style Transfer}, alongside, and in comparison to, existing automatic metrics as well as human judgements. We focus on a zero-shot setting,…

The recent advances in transfer learning techniques and pre-training of large contextualized encoders foster innovation in real-life applications, including dialog assistants. Practical needs of intent recognition require effective data…

We generalize the formulation of few-shot learning by introducing the concept of an aspect. In the traditional formulation of few-shot learning, there is an underlying assumption that a single "true" label defines the content of each data…
