BinaryAlign: Word Alignment as Binary Sequence Labeling

ACL 2024long

Real world deployments of word alignment are almost certain to cover both high and low resource languages. However, the state-of-the-art for this task recommends a different model class depending on the availability of gold alignment training data for a particular language pair. We propose BinaryAli…

Zero-shot Cross-Lingual Transfer for Synthetic Data Generation in Grammatical Error Detection

EMNLP 2024main

Grammatical Error Detection (GED) methods rely heavily on human annotated error corpora. However, these annotations are unavailable in many low-resource languages. In this paper, we investigate GED in this context. Leveraging the zero-shot cross-lingual transfer capabilities of multilingual pre-trai…

Scaling Up Multi-Task Robotic Reinforcement Learning

CoRL 2021poster

General-purpose robotic systems must master a large repertoire of diverse skills. While reinforcement learning provides a powerful framework for acquiring individual behaviors, the time needed to acquire each skill makes the prospect of a generalist robot trained with RL daunting. In this paper, we…

Never Stop Learning: The Effectiveness of Fine-Tuning in Robotic Reinforcement Learning

CoRL 2020

One of the great promises of robot learning systems is that they will be able to learn from their mistakes and continuously adapt to ever-changing environments. Despite this potential, most of the robot learning systems today produce static policies that are not further adapted during deployment, be
