Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) are often criticized for producing repetitive and homogeneous text, despite possessing vast latent vocabularies. While previous research has focused on model knowledge and training data, we investigate…
We study open-world multi-label text classification under extremely weak supervision (XWS), where the user only provides a brief description for classification objectives without any labels or ground-truth label space. Similar single-label…
Electronic Healthcare Records contain large volumes of unstructured data, including extensive free text. Yet this source of detailed information often remains under-used because of a lack of methodologies to extract interpretable content in…
Brain tumor segmentation remains challenging because the three standard sub-regions, i.e., whole tumor (WT), tumor core (TC), and enhancing tumor (ET), often exhibit ambiguous visual boundaries. Integrating radiological description texts…
Weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) trains dense pixel-level segmentation models from partial or coarse annotations such as bounding boxes, scribbles, or image-level tags. While recent work leverages foundation models such as the…
Object counting is a fundamental task in computer vision, with broad applicability in many real-world scenarios. Fully-supervised counting methods require costly point-level annotations per object. Few weakly-supervised methods leverage…
Multi-class colorectal tissue classification is a challenging problem that is typically addressed in a setting, where it is assumed that ample amounts of training data is available. However, manual annotation of fine-grained colorectal…
To overcome the data sparsity issue in short text topic modeling, existing methods commonly rely on data augmentation or the data characteristic of short texts to introduce more word co-occurrence information. However, most of them do not…
In this research, we use user defined labels from three internet text sources (Reddit, Stackexchange, Arxiv) to train 21 different machine learning models for the topic classification task of detecting cybersecurity discussions in natural…
The task of weakly supervised temporal sentence grounding (WSTSG) aims to detect temporal intervals corresponding to a language description from untrimmed videos with only video-level video-language correspondence. For an anchor sample,…
Sentiment analysis, a popular technique for opinion mining, has been used by the software engineering research community for tasks such as assessing app reviews, developer emotions in issue trackers and developer opinions on APIs. Past…
Due to the high number of users on social media and the massive amounts of queries requested every second to share a new video, picture, or message, social platforms struggle to manage this humungous amount of data that is endlessly coming…
Sentiment Analysis is a branch of Affective Computing usually considered a binary classification task. In this line of reasoning, Sentiment Analysis can be applied in several contexts to classify the attitude expressed in text samples, for…
Recently, sentiment-aware pre-trained language models (PLMs) demonstrate impressive results in downstream sentiment analysis tasks. However, they neglect to evaluate the quality of their constructed sentiment representations; they just…
Hierarchical text classification, which aims to classify text documents into a given hierarchy, is an important task in many real-world applications. Recently, deep neural models are gaining increasing popularity for text classification due…
Training automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems requires large amounts of well-curated paired data. However, human annotators usually perform "non-verbatim" transcription, which can result in poorly trained models. In this paper, we…
Semantic segmentation is a core computer vision problem, but the high costs of data annotation have hindered its wide application. Weakly-Supervised Semantic Segmentation (WSSS) offers a cost-efficient workaround to extensive labeling in…
Automatic text classification (TC) research can be used for real-world problems such as the classification of in-patient discharge summaries and medical text reports, which is beneficial to make medical documents more understandable to…
This paper explores semi-supervised training for sequence tasks, such as Optical Character Recognition or Automatic Speech Recognition. We propose a novel loss function $\unicode{x2013}$ SoftCTC $\unicode{x2013}$ which is an extension of…
Health Mention Classification (HMC) plays a critical role in leveraging social media posts for real-time tracking and public health monitoring. Nevertheless, the process of HMC presents significant challenges due to its intricate nature,…
