In this paper, we address the performance degradation of efficient diffusion models by introducing Multi-architecturE Multi-Expert diffusion models (MEME). We identify the need for tailored operations at different time-steps in diffusion processes and leverage this insight to create compact yet high…
Text classification in education, usually called auto-tagging, is the automated process of assigning relevant tags to educational content, such as questions and textbooks. However, auto-tagging suffers from a data scarcity problem, which stems from two major challenges: 1) it possesses a large tag s…
Question generation (QG) is the task of generating a valid and fluent question based on a given context and the target answer. According to various purposes, even given the same context, instructors can ask questions about different concepts, and even the same concept can be written in different way…
Diffusion-based generative models have achieved remarkable success in image generation. Their guidance formulation allows an external model to plug-and-play control the generation process for various tasks without fine-tuning the diffusion model. However, the direct use of publicly available off-the…
Despite the super-human accuracy of recent deep models in NLP tasks, their robustness is reportedly limited due to their reliance on spurious patterns. We thus aim to leverage contrastive learning and counterfactual augmentation for robustness. For augmentation, existing work either requires humans…
The automatic generation of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) has the potential to reduce the time educators spend on student assessment significantly. However, existing evaluation metrics for MCQ generation, such as BLEU, ROUGE, and METEOR, focus on the n-gram based similarity of the generated MCQ to…
This paper studies the keyphrase generation (KG) task for scenarios where structure plays an important role. For example, a scientific publication consists of a short title and a long body, where the title can be used for de-emphasizing unimportant details in the body. Similarly, for short social me…
