Addressing the Training-Inference Discrepancy in Discrete Diffusion for Text Generation

COLING 2025main

This study addresses the discrepancy between training and inference in discrete diffusion models for text generation. We propose two novel strategies: (1) a training schema that considers two-step diffusion processes, allowing the model to use its own predicted output as input for subsequent steps d…

ELAINE-medLLM: Lightweight English Japanese Chinese Trilingual Large Language Model for Bio-medical Domain

COLING 2025main

We propose ELAINE (EngLish-jApanese-chINesE)-medLLM, a trilingual (English, Japanese, Chinese) large language model adapted for the bio-medical domain based on Llama-3-8B. The training dataset was carefully curated in terms of volume and diversity to adapt to the biomedical domain and endow trilingu…

Enhancing NER by Harnessing Multiple Datasets with Conditional Variational Autoencoders

ACL 2025short

We propose a novel method to integrate a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) into a span-based Named Entity Recognition (NER) model to model the shared and unshared information among labels in multiple datasets and ease the training on the datasets. Experimental results using multiple biomedi…

Improving Relation Extraction by Sequence-to-sequence-based Dependency Parsing Pre-training

COLING 2025main

Relation extraction is a crucial natural language processing task that extracts relational triplets from raw text. Syntactic dependencies information has shown its effectiveness for relation extraction tasks. However, in most existing studies, dependency information is used only for traditional enco…

Learning Disentangled Representations of Negation and Uncertainty

ACL 2022long

Negation and uncertainty modeling are long-standing tasks in natural language processing. Linguistic theory postulates that expressions of negation and uncertainty are semantically independent from each other and the content they modify. However, previous works on representation learning do not expl…

Distantly Supervised Relation Extraction with Sentence Reconstruction and Knowledge Base Priors

NAACL 2021long

We propose a multi-task, probabilistic approach to facilitate distantly supervised relation extraction by bringing closer the representations of sentences that contain the same Knowledge Base pairs. To achieve this, we bias the latent space of sentences via a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) that is tr…
