As a step toward better document-level understanding, we explore classification of a sequence of sentences into their corresponding categories, a task that requires understanding sentences in context of the document. Recent successful models for this task have used hierarchical models to contextualize sentence representations, and Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to incorporate dependencies between subsequent labels. In this work, we show that pretrained language models, BERT (Devlin et al., 2018) in particular, can be used for this task to capture contextual dependencies without the need for hierarchical encoding nor a CRF. Specifically, we construct a joint sentence representation that allows BERT Transformer layers to directly utilize contextual information from all words in all sentences. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art results on four datasets, including a new dataset of structured scientific abstracts.

The massive growth of digital biomedical data is making biomedical text indexing and classification increasingly important. Accordingly, previous research has devised numerous deep learning techniques focused on using feedforward, convolutional or re current neural architectures. More recently, fine-tuned transformers-based pretrained models (PTMs) have demonstrated superior performance compared to such models in many natural language processing tasks. However, the direct use of PTMs in the biomedical domain is only limited to the target documents, ignoring the rich semantic information in the label descriptions. In this paper, we develop an improved label attention-based architecture to inject semantic label description into the fine-tuning process of PTMs. Results on two public medical datasets show that the proposed fine-tuning scheme outperforms the conventionally fine-tuned PTMs and prior state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, we show that fine-tuning with the label attention mechanism is interpretable in the interpretability study.
Metadata attributes (e.g., user and product IDs from reviews) can be incorporated as additional inputs to neural-based NLP models, by modifying the architecture of the models, in order to improve their performance. Recent models however rely on pretr ained language models (PLMs), where previously used techniques for attribute injection are either nontrivial or ineffective. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and memory-efficient method to inject attributes to PLMs. We extend adapters, i.e. tiny plug-in feed-forward modules, to include attributes both independently of or jointly with the text. To limit the increase of parameters especially when the attribute vocabulary is large, we use low-rank approximations and hypercomplex multiplications, significantly decreasing the total parameters. We also introduce training mechanisms to handle domains in which attributes can be multi-labeled or sparse. Extensive experiments and analyses on eight datasets from different domains show that our method outperforms previous attribute injection methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance on various datasets.
Intent classification is a task in spoken language understanding. An intent classification system is usually implemented as a pipeline process, with a speech recognition module followed by text processing that classifies the intents. There are also s tudies of end-to-end system that takes acoustic features as input and classifies the intents directly. Such systems dont take advantage of relevant linguistic information, and suffer from limited training data. In this work, we propose a novel intent classification framework that employs acoustic features extracted from a pretrained speech recognition system and linguistic features learned from a pretrained language model. We use knowledge distillation technique to map the acoustic embeddings towards linguistic embeddings. We perform fusion of both acoustic and linguistic embeddings through cross-attention approach to classify intents. With the proposed method, we achieve 90.86% and 99.07% accuracy on ATIS and Fluent speech corpus, respectively.
Text generation has become one of the most important yet challenging tasks in natural language processing (NLP). The resurgence of deep learning has greatly advanced this field by neural generation models, especially the paradigm of pretrained langua ge models (PLMs). In this paper, we present an overview of the major advances achieved in the topic of PLMs for text generation. As the preliminaries, we present the general task definition and briefly describe the mainstream architectures of PLMs for text generation. As the core content, we discuss how to adapt existing PLMs to model different input data and satisfy special properties in the generated text. We further summarize several important fine-tuning strategies for text generation. Finally, we present several future directions and conclude this paper. Our survey aims to provide text generation researchers a synthesis and pointer to related research.

Product key memory (PKM) proposed by Lample et al. (2019) enables to improve prediction accuracy by increasing model capacity efficiently with insignificant computational overhead. However, their empirical application is only limited to causal langua ge modeling. Motivated by the recent success of pretrained language models (PLMs), we investigate how to incorporate large PKM into PLMs that can be finetuned for a wide variety of downstream NLP tasks. We define a new memory usage metric, and careful observation using this metric reveals that most memory slots remain outdated during the training of PKM-augmented models. To train better PLMs by tackling this issue, we propose simple but effective solutions: (1) initialization from the model weights pretrained without memory and (2) augmenting PKM by addition rather than replacing a feed-forward network. We verify that both of them are crucial for the pretraining of PKM-augmented PLMs, enhancing memory utilization and downstream performance. Code and pretrained weights are available at https://github.com/clovaai/pkm-transformers.
