Robust language processing systems are becoming increasingly important given the recent awareness of dangerous situations where brittle machine learning models can be easily broken with the presence of noises. In this paper, we introduce a robust word recognition framework that captures multi-level sequential dependencies in noised sentences. The proposed framework employs a sequence-to-sequence model over characters of each word, whose output is given to a word-level bi-directional recurrent neural network. We conduct extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of the framework. The results show that the proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin and they also suggest that character-level dependencies can play an important role in word recognition.

Fine-Grained Named Entity Recognition (FG-NER) is critical for many NLP applications. While classical named entity recognition (NER) has attracted a substantial amount of research, FG-NER is still an open research domain. The current state-of-the-art (SOTA) model for FG-NER relies heavily on manual efforts for building a dictionary and designing hand-crafted features. The end-to-end framework which achieved the SOTA result for NER did not get the competitive result compared to SOTA model for FG-NER. In this paper, we investigate how effective multi-task learning approaches are in an end-to-end framework for FG-NER in different aspects. Our experiments show that using multi-task learning approaches with contextualized word representation can help an end-to-end neural network model achieve SOTA results without using any additional manual effort for creating data and designing features.
Biomedical Named Entity Recognition (BioNER) is a crucial step for analyzing Biomedical texts, which aims at extracting biomedical named entities from a given text. Different supervised machine learning algorithms have been applied for BioNER by vari ous researchers. The main requirement of these approaches is an annotated dataset used for learning the parameters of machine learning algorithms. Segment Representation (SR) models comprise of different tag sets used for representing the annotated data, such as IOB2, IOE2 and IOBES. In this paper, we propose an extension of IOBES model to improve the performance of BioNER. The proposed SR model, FROBES, improves the representation of multi-word entities. We used Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network; an instance of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), to design a baseline system for BioNER and evaluated the new SR model on two datasets, i2b2/VA 2010 challenge dataset and JNLPBA 2004 shared task dataset. The proposed SR model outperforms other models for multi-word entities with length greater than two. Further, the outputs of different SR models have been combined using majority voting ensemble method which outperforms the baseline models performance.
Spoken communication occurs in a noisy channel characterized by high levels of environmental noise, variability within and between speakers, and lexical and syntactic ambiguity. Given these properties of the received linguistic input, robust spoken w ord recognition -- and language processing more generally -- relies heavily on listeners prior knowledge to evaluate whether candidate interpretations of that input are more or less likely. Here we compare several broad-coverage probabilistic generative language models in their ability to capture human linguistic expectations. Serial reproduction, an experimental paradigm where spoken utterances are reproduced by successive participants similar to the childrens game of Telephone, is used to elicit a sample that reflects the linguistic expectations of English-speaking adults. When we evaluate a suite of probabilistic generative language models against the yielded chains of utterances, we find that those models that make use of abstract representations of preceding linguistic context (i.e., phrase structure) best predict the changes made by people in the course of serial reproduction. A logistic regression model predicting which words in an utterance are most likely to be lost or changed in the course of spoken transmission corroborates this result. We interpret these findings in light of research highlighting the interaction of memory-based constraints and representations in language processing.
Different linguistic perspectives causes many diverse segmentation criteria for Chinese word segmentation (CWS). Most existing methods focus on improve the performance for each single criterion. However, it is interesting to exploit these different c riteria and mining their common underlying knowledge. In this paper, we propose adversarial multi-criteria learning for CWS by integrating shared knowledge from multiple heterogeneous segmentation criteria. Experiments on eight corpora with heterogeneous segmentation criteria show that the performance of each corpus obtains a significant improvement, compared to single-criterion learning. Source codes of this paper are available on Github.
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have succeeded in inducing cross-lingual word embeddings -- maps of matching words across languages -- without supervision. Despite these successes, GANs performance for the difficult case of distant languages i s still not satisfactory. These limitations have been explained by GANs incorrect assumption that source and target embedding spaces are related by a single linear mapping and are approximately isomorphic. We assume instead that, especially across distant languages, the mapping is only piece-wise linear, and propose a multi-adversarial learning method. This novel method induces the seed cross-lingual dictionary through multiple mappings, each induced to fit the mapping for one subspace. Our experiments on unsupervised bilingual lexicon induction show that this method improves performance over previous single-mapping methods, especially for distant languages.
