To achieve deep natural language understanding, syntactic constituent parsing plays a crucial role and is widely required by many artificial intelligence systems for processing both text and speech. A recent approach involves using standard…

We present KERMIT, a simple insertion-based approach to generative modeling for sequences and sequence pairs. KERMIT models the joint distribution and its decompositions (i.e., marginals and conditionals) using a single neural network and,…

Consider a general machine learning setting where the output is a set of labels or sequences. This output set is unordered and its size varies with the input. Whereas multi-label classification methods seem a natural first resort, they are…

Neural translation models have proven to be effective in capturing sufficient information from a source sentence and generating a high-quality target sentence. However, it is not easy to get the best effect for bidirectional translation,…

Transfer learning in natural language processing (NLP), as realized using models like BERT (Bi-directional Encoder Representation from Transformer), has significantly improved language representation with models that can tackle challenging…

Current grammatical error correction (GEC) models typically consider the task as sequence generation, which requires large amounts of annotated data and limit the applications in data-limited settings. We try to incorporate contextual…

Sequential dependencies present a fundamental bottleneck in deploying large-scale autoregressive models, particularly for real-time applications. While traditional optimization approaches like pruning and quantization often compromise model…

We present significant extensions to diffusion-based sequence generation models, blurring the line with autoregressive language models. We introduce hyperschedules, which assign distinct noise schedules to individual token positions,…

Autoregressive sequence models based on deep neural networks, such as RNNs, Wavenet and the Transformer attain state-of-the-art results on many tasks. However, they are difficult to parallelize and are thus slow at processing long…

Generative models reliant on sequential autoregression have been at the forefront of language generation for an extensive period, particularly following the introduction of widely acclaimed transformers. Despite its excellent performance,…

Recently, the text-to-table generation task has attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications. In this aspect, the dominant model formalizes this task as a sequence-to-sequence generation task and serializes each table into a…

Code generation aims to automatically generate a piece of code given an input natural language utterance. Currently, among dominant models, it is treated as a sequence-to-tree task, where a decoder outputs a sequence of actions…

Pre-trained contextualized language models such as BERT have shown great effectiveness in a wide range of downstream Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, the effective representations offered by the models target at each token…

Pretrained bidirectional Transformers, such as BERT, have achieved significant improvements in a wide variety of language understanding tasks, while it is not straightforward to directly apply them for natural language generation. In this…

Pre-training models are an important tool in Natural Language Processing (NLP), while the BERT model is a classic pre-training model whose structure has been widely adopted by followers. It was even chosen as the reference model for the…

Recent advances in pre-trained language models have significantly improved neural response generation. However, existing methods usually view the dialogue context as a linear sequence of tokens and learn to generate the next word through…

Measuring the quality of a generated sequence against a set of references is a central problem in many learning frameworks, be it to compute a score, to assign a reward, or to perform discrimination. Despite great advances in model…

Tremendous amounts of multimedia associated with speech information are driving an urgent need to develop efficient and effective automatic summarization methods. To this end, we have seen rapid progress in applying supervised deep neural…
