StatBot.Swiss: Bilingual Open Data Exploration in Natural Language

ACL 2024findings

The potential for improvements brought by Large Language Models (LLMs) in Text-to-SQL systems is mostly assessed on monolingual English datasets. However, LLMs’ performance for other languages remains vastly unexplored. In this work, we release the StatBot.Swiss dataset, the first bilingual benchmar…

Disfluent Cues for Enhanced Speech Understanding in Large Language Models

EMNLP 2023long findings

In computational linguistics, the common practice is to "clean" disfluent content from spontaneous speech. However, we hypothesize that these disfluencies might serve as more than mere noise, potentially acting as informative cues. We use a range of pre-trained models for a reading comprehension tas…

Improving the Cross-Lingual Generalisation in Visual Question Answering

AAAI 2023technical

While several benefits were realized for multilingual vision-language pretrained models, recent benchmarks across various tasks and languages showed poor cross-lingual generalisation when multilingually pre-trained vision-language models are applied to non-English data, with a large gap between (sup…

Progressive Transformer-Based Generation of Radiology Reports

EMNLP 2021finding

Inspired by Curriculum Learning, we propose a consecutive (i.e., image-to-text-to-text) generation framework where we divide the problem of radiology report generation into two steps. Contrary to generating the full radiology report from the image at once, the model generates global concepts from th…
