ACL 2023 Workshop on SustaiNLP2023We examine the effects of model size and pre-finetuning in an active learning setting where classifiers are trained from scratch on 14 binary and 3 multi-class text classification tasks. We make an important observation that, in realistic active learning settings, where the human annotator and the active learning system operate in asynchronous mode, a compact pre-finetuned 1-layer transformer model with

ACL Findings 20232023Semi-parametric Nearest Neighbor Language Models (kNN-LMs) have produced impressive gains over purely parametric LMs, by leveraging large-scale neighborhood retrieval over external memory datastores. However, there has been little investigation into adapting such models for new domains. This work attempts to fill that gap and suggests the following approaches for adapting kNN-LMs — 1) adapting the underlying

CVPR 2023 Workshop on AI for Content Creation, NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on AI for Content Creation, WACV 20242023Diffusion models have demonstrated impressive performance in text-guided image generation. Current methods that leverage the knowledge of these models for image editing either fine-tune them using the input image (e.g., Imagic) or incorporate structure information as additional constraints (e.g., ControlNet). However, fine-tuning largescale diffusion models on a single image can lead to severe overfitting

CVPR 20232023Contrastive loss has been increasingly used in learning representations from multiple modalities. In the limit, the nature of the contrastive loss encourages modalities to exactly match each other in the latent space. Yet it remains an open question how the modality alignment affects the downstream task performance. In this paper, based on an information-theoretic argument, we first prove that exact modality

Interspeech 20232023Phonetic information and linguistic knowledge are an essential component of a Text-to-speech (TTS) front-end. Given a language, a lexicon can be collected offline and Grapheme-toPhoneme (G2P) relationships are usually modeled in order to predict the pronunciation for out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. Additionally, post-lexical phonology, often defined in the form of rule-based systems, is used to correct pronunciation
