Information Pursuit (IP) is an explainable prediction algorithm that greedily selects a sequence of interpretable queries about the data in order of information gain, updating its posterior at each step based on observed query-answer pairs.…
Referring expression comprehension (REF) aims at identifying a particular object in a scene by a natural language expression. It requires joint reasoning over the textual and visual domains to solve the problem. Some popular referring…
We present a novel natural language query interface, the AggChecker, aimed at text summaries of relational data sets. The tool focuses on natural language claims that translate into an SQL query and a claimed query result. Similar in spirit…
Textual knowledge bases such as Wikipedia require considerable effort to keep up to date and consistent. While automated writing assistants could potentially ease this burden, the problem of suggesting edits grounded in external knowledge…
Real-world information needs require access to structurally diverse knowledge sources, from unstructured text and relational tables to knowledge graphs and property graphs. Existing retrievers, however, operate over one source at a time…
We provide here a dataset for tasks related to natural language understanding and natural language inference. The dataset contains logical puzzles in natural language from three domains: comparing puzzles, knighs and knaves, and zebra…
In order to simplify a sentence, human editors perform multiple rewriting transformations: they split it into several shorter sentences, paraphrase words (i.e. replacing complex words or phrases by simpler synonyms), reorder components,…
Much of the information processed by Information Retrieval (IR) systems is unreliable, biased, and generally untrustworthy [1], [2], [3]. Yet, factuality & objectivity detection is not a standard component of IR systems, even though it has…
Challenging problems such as open-domain question answering, fact checking, slot filling and entity linking require access to large, external knowledge sources. While some models do well on individual tasks, developing general models is…
Shopping online is more and more frequent in our everyday life. For e-commerce search systems, understanding natural language coming through voice assistants, chatbots or from conversational search is an essential ability to understand what…
We introduce CHEW, a novel dataset of changing events in Wikipedia expressed in naturally occurring text. We use CHEW for probing LLMs for their timeline understanding of Wikipedia entities and events in generative and classification…
In SPARQL, the query forms SELECT and CONSTRUCT have been the subject of several studies, both theoretical and practical. However, the composition of such queries and their interweaving when forming involved nested queries has not yet…
We describe NatCat, a large-scale resource for text classification constructed from three data sources: Wikipedia, Stack Exchange, and Reddit. NatCat consists of document-category pairs derived from manual curation that occurs naturally…
Text simplification research has mostly focused on sentence-level simplification, even though many desirable edits - such as adding relevant background information or reordering content - may require document-level context. Prior work has…
Dictionary-based entity extraction involves finding mentions of dictionary entities in text. Text mentions are often noisy, containing spurious or missing words. Efficient algorithms for detecting approximate entity mentions follow one of…
Search engine returns thousands of web pages for a single user query, in which most of them are not relevant. In this context, effective information retrieval from the expanding web is a challenging task, in particular, if the query is…
The ability to automatically identify whether an entity is referenced in a future context can have multiple applications including decision making, planning and trend forecasting. This paper focuses on detecting implicit future references…
Querying knowledge bases using ontologies is usually performed using dedicated query languages, question-answering systems, or visual query editors for Knowledge Graphs. We propose a novel approach that enables users to query the knowledge…
Most available semantic parsing datasets, comprising of pairs of natural utterances and logical forms, were collected solely for the purpose of training and evaluation of natural language understanding systems. As a result, they do not…
Analysts and scientists are interested in querying streams of video, audio, and text to extract quantitative insights. For example, an urban planner may wish to measure congestion by querying the live feed from a traffic camera. Prior work…
