Incorporating textual information into time-series forecasting holds promise for addressing event-driven non-stationarity; however, a fundamental modality gap hinders effective fusion: textual descriptions express temporal impacts…
Textual entailment is a fundamental task in natural language processing. It refers to the directional relation between text fragments such that the "premise" can infer "hypothesis". In recent years deep learning methods have achieved great…
End-to-end (E2E) spoken language understanding (SLU) systems that generate a semantic parse from speech have become more promising recently. This approach uses a single model that utilizes audio and text representations from pre-trained…
