Learning under Label Proportions for Text Classification

Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2023

We present one of the preliminary NLP works under the challenging setup of Learning from Label Proportions (LLP), where the data is provided in an aggregate form called bags and only the proportion of samples in each class as the ground truth. This setup is inline with the desired characteristics of training models under Privacy settings and Weakly supervision. By characterizing some irregularities of the most widely used baseline technique DLLP, we propose a novel formulation that is also robust. This is accompanied with a learnability result that provides a generalization bound under LLP. Combining this formulation with a self-supervised objective, our method achieves better results as compared to the baselines in almost 87% of the experimental configurations which include large scale models for both long and short range texts across multiple metrics.

Learning Attention-based Embeddings for Relation Prediction in Knowledge Graphs

Proceedings of the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

The recent proliferation of knowledge graphs (KGs) coupled with incomplete or partial information, in the form of missing relations (links) between entities, has fueled a lot of research on knowledge base completion (also known as relation prediction). Several recent works suggest that convolutional neural network (CNN) based models generate richer and more expressive feature embeddings and hence also perform well on relation prediction. However, we observe that these KG embeddings treat triples independently and thus fail to cover the complex and hidden information that is inherently implicit in the local neighborhood surrounding a triple. To this effect, our paper proposes a novel attention-based feature embedding that captures both entity and relation features in any given entity’s neighborhood. Additionally, we also encapsulate relation clusters and multi-hop relations in our model. Our empirical study offers insights into the efficacy of our attention-based model and we show marked performance gains in comparison to state-of-the-art methods on all datasets.
