Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly enhanced video understanding capabilities, opening new possibilities for practical applications. Yet current video benchmarks focus largely on indoor scenes or short-range outdoor activities, leaving the challenges associ
Geocoding is a fundamental technique that links location mentions to their geographic positions, which is important for understanding texts in terms of where the described events occurred. Unlike most geocoding studies that targeted coarse-grained locations, we focus on geocoding at a fine-grained p…
As the fluency of ad texts automatically generated by natural language generation technologies continues to improve, there is an increasing demand to assess the quality of these creatives in real-world setting.We propose **AdTEC**, the first public benchmark to evaluate ad texts from multiple perspe…
Web banner advertisements, which are placed on websites to guide users to a targeted landing page (LP), are still often selected manually because human preferences are important in selecting which ads to deliver. To automate this process, we propose a new benchmark, BannerBench, to evaluate the huma
Human traveling trajectories play a central role in characterizing each travelogue, and automatic trajectory extraction from travelogues is highly desired for tourism services, such as travel planning and recommendation. This work addresses the extraction of human traveling trajectories from travelo…
What kinds of and how much data is necessary for language models to induce grammatical knowledge to judge sentence acceptability? Recent language models still have much room for improvement in their data efficiency compared to humans. This paper investigates whether language models efficiently use i…
Research in low-resource language is often hampered due to the under-representation of how the language is being used in reality. This is particularly true for Indonesian language because there is a limited variety of textual datasets, and majority were acquired from official sources with formal wri…
The imitation of the children’s language acquisition process has been explored to make language models (LMs) more efficient.In particular, errors caused by children’s regularization (so-called overregularization, e.g., using wroted for the past tense of write) have been widely studied to reveal the…
With the success of neural language models (LMs), their language acquisition has gained much attention. This work sheds light on the second language (L2) acquisition of LMs, while previous work has typically explored their first language (L1) acquisition. Specifically, we trained bilingual LMs with…
Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is the task of labeling semantic arguments for marked semantic predicates. Semantic arguments and their predicates are related in various distinct manners, of which certain semantic arguments are a necessity while others serve as an auxiliary to their predicates. To cons…
Masked language models (MLMs) have contributed to drastic performance improvements with regard to zero anaphora resolution (ZAR). To further improve this approach, in this study, we made two proposals. The first is a new pretraining task that trains MLMs on anaphoric relations with explicit supervis…
One critical issue of zero anaphora resolution (ZAR) is the scarcity of labeled data. This study explores how effectively this problem can be alleviated by data augmentation. We adopt a state-of-the-art data augmentation method, called the contextual data augmentation (CDA), that generates labeled t…
