Preserving Zero-shot Capability in Supervised Fine-tuning for Multi-label Text Classification

NAACL 2025findings

Zero-shot multi-label text classification (ZMTC) requires models to predict multiple labels for a document, including labels unseen during training. Previous work assumes that models leveraging label descriptions ensures zero-shot capability. However, we find that supervised methods, despite achievi…

TableRAG: Million-Token Table Understanding with Language Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

Recent advancements in language models (LMs) have notably enhanced their ability to reason with tabular data, primarily through program-aided mechanisms that manipulate and analyze tables. However, these methods often require the entire table as input, leading to scalability challenges due to the po…

Linear Classifier: An Often-Forgotten Baseline for Text Classification

ACL 2023short

Large-scale pre-trained language models such as BERT are popular solutions for text classification. Due to the superior performance of these advanced methods, nowadays, people often directly train them for a few epochs and deploy the obtained model. In this opinion paper, we point out that this way…

Even the Simplest Baseline Needs Careful Re-investigation: A Case Study on XML-CNN

NAACL 2022long

The power and the potential of deep learning models attract many researchers to design advanced and sophisticated architectures. Nevertheless, the progress is sometimes unreal due to various possible reasons. In this work, through an astonishing example we argue that more efforts should be paid to e…

Parameter Selection: Why We Should Pay More Attention to It

ACL 2021short

The importance of parameter selection in supervised learning is well known. However, due to the many parameter combinations, an incomplete or an insufficient procedure is often applied. This situation may cause misleading or confusing conclusions. In this opinion paper, through an intriguing example…
