This is the wiki page for topics to be discussed in the LIL group meetings. While one person will be officially leading the group in each session, the meeting will be structured in the form of a discussion.

Fall 2014

When: 3:30PM Friday

Where: CSE 503

Course number: 591T

We also have a mailing list lil-group (https://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/lil-group).

Potential Papers

Structured Learning for Structured Knowledge:

- Structured Learning for Taxonomy Induction with Belief Propagation. Mohit Bansal, David Burkett, Gerard de Melo, and Dan Klein. Proceedings of ACL 2014. Baltimore, MD, USA.[pdf, errata][slides][bib] (Best Long Paper Honorable Mention)

Event, Time, Fact, Veridicality :

- de Marneffe, Marie-Catherine; Christopher D. Manning; and Christopher Potts. 2012. Did it happen? The pragmatic complexity of veridicality assessment. Computational Linguistics 38(2): 301-333. [bibtex; PragBank]
  • Below is a cool application paper, probably good to read so that we get to think about creative evaluation strategies. Since it's only a short paper, we probably want to add another short paper.
- Modeling Factuality Judgments in Social Media Text. Sandeep Soni, Tanushree Mitra, Eric Gilbert, and Jacob Eisenstein. Proceedings of ACL (short papers). [pdf] [data]
  • need to add some papers on temporal stuff! (not sure what you have already read…)

Reasoning, Causality, Entailment :

- NaturalLI: Natural Logic Inference for Common Sense Reasoning Gabor Angeli , Chris Manning Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). 2014

- Jonathan Berant*, Vivek Srikumar*, Pei-Chun Chen, Abby Vander Linden, Brittany Harding, Brad Huang, Christopher D. Manning Modeling Biological Processes for Reading Comprehension Long paper in EMNLP 2014. supplementary material project page

Crowdsourcing for complex NLP tasks, Human-computer Collaboration:

- Spence Green, Sida Wang, Jason Chuang, Jeffrey Heer, and Christopher D. Manning. 2014. Human Effort and Machine Learnability in Computer Aided Translation. In EMNLP.[pdf, with minor typographical corrections][code] -

  • Above paper evolved from the following CHI paper, worth checking out both.


Spence Green, Sida Wang, Jason Chuang, Jeffrey Heer, and Christopher D. Manning. 2014. Human Effort and Machine Learnability in Computer Aided Translation. In EMNLP. [pdf, with minor typographical corrections][code] - See more at: http://www.spencegreen.com/#sthash.GF6zYNET.dpuf - Spence Green, Jeffrey Heer, and Christopher D. Manning. 2013. The Efficacy of Human Post-Editing for Language Translation. In CHI. Best Paper Award. [pdf, with minor typographical corrections] [slides] [data]

  • did Ellie give a talk on the following paper? I really like the idea of deeply integrating crowdsourcing into structural learning process, especially for NLP tasks for which one-time collection of annotation does not seem sufficient, e.g., sentence compression, summarization etc.

- Are Two Heads are Better than One? Crowdsourced Translation via a Two-Step Collaboration between Translators and Editors. Rui Yan, Mingkun Gao, Ellie Pavlick, and Chris Callison-Burch. In ACL-2014. [abstract] [bib]
