LoRA adapts large language models (LLMs) by restricting updates to low-rank subspaces of pre-trained weights. While this substantially reduces training cost, the effectiveness of adaptation critically depends on which subspace is chosen at initialization: a poor initialization that allocates capacit…
The capability of In-Context Learning (ICL) is crucial for large language models to generalize across a wide range of tasks. By utilizing prompts, these models can accurately predict outcomes for previously unseen tasks without necessitating retraining. However, this generalization ability does not…
Explainable Recommendation task is designed to receive a pair of user and item and output explanations to justify why an item is recommended to a user. Many models approach review generation as a proxy for explainable recommendations. While these models can produce fluent and grammatically correct s…
We present CFEVER, a Chinese dataset designed for Fact Extraction and VERification. CFEVER comprises 30,012 manually created claims based on content in Chinese Wikipedia. Each claim in CFEVER is labeled as “Supports”, “Refutes”, or “Not Enough Info” to depict its degree of factualness. Similar to th…
Recent research on multi-criteria Chinese word segmentation (MCCWS) mainly focuses on building complex private structures, adding more handcrafted features, or introducing complex optimization processes. In this work, we show that through a simple yet elegant input-hint-based MCCWS model, we can ach…
Dense retrieval models have exhibited remarkable effectiveness, but they rely on abundant labeled data and face challenges when applied to different domains. Previous domain adaptation methods have employed generative models to generate pseudo queries, creating pseudo datasets to enhance the perform…
Unsupervised Chinese word segmentation (UCWS) has made progress by incorporating linguistic knowledge from pre-trained language models using parameter-free probing techniques. However, such approaches suffer from increased training time due to the need for multiple inferences using a pre-trained lan…
Recent Chinese word segmentation (CWS) models have shown competitive performance with pre-trained language models' knowledge. However, these models tend to learn the segmentation knowledge through in-vocabulary words rather than understanding the meaning of the entire context. To address this issue,…
Currently, adversarial training has become a popular and powerful regularization method in the natural language domain. In this paper, we Regularized Adversarial Training (R-AT) via dropout, which forces the output probability distributions of different sub-models generated by dropout to be consiste…
We pioneer the first extractive summarization-based collaborative filtering model called ESCOFILT. Our proposed model specifically produces extractive summaries for each item and user. Unlike other types of explanations, summary-level explanations closely resemble real-life explanations. The strengt…
As one of the most popular social media platforms, Twitter has become a primary source of information for many people. Unfortunately, both valid information and rumors are propagated on Twitter due to the lack of an automatic information verification system. Twitter users communicate by replying to…
