Explicating the Implicit: Argument Detection Beyond Sentence Boundaries

ACL 2024long

Detecting semantic arguments of a predicate word has been conventionally modeled as a sentence-level task. The typical reader, however, perfectly interprets predicate-argument relations in a much wider context than just the sentence where the predicate was evoked. In this work, we reformulate the pr…

Factually Consistent Summarization via Reinforcement Learning with Textual Entailment Feedback

ACL 2023long

Despite the seeming success of contemporary grounded text generation systems, they often tend to generate factually inconsistent text with respect to their input. This phenomenon is emphasized in tasks like summarization, in which the generated summaries should be corroborated by their source articl…

Extending Multi-Text Sentence Fusion Resources via Pyramid Annotations

NAACL 2022long

NLP models that process multiple texts often struggle in recognizing corresponding and salient information that is often differently phrased, and consolidating the redundancies across texts. To facilitate research of such challenges, the sentence fusion task was proposed, yet previous datasets for t…

Asking It All: Generating Contextualized Questions for any Semantic Role

EMNLP 2021main

Asking questions about a situation is an inherent step towards understanding it. To this end, we introduce the task of role question generation, which, given a predicate mention and a passage, requires producing a set of questions asking about all possible semantic roles of the predicate. We develop…

QA-Align: Representing Cross-Text Content Overlap by Aligning Question-Answer Propositions

EMNLP 2021main

Multi-text applications, such as multi-document summarization, are typically required to model redundancies across related texts. Current methods confronting consolidation struggle to fuse overlapping information. In order to explicitly represent content overlap, we propose to align predicate-argume…
