  • Distilling Task Knowledge from How-To Communities

    Cuong Xuan Chu, Niket Tandon, and Gerhard WeikumWWW2017 Knowledge graphs have become a fundamental asset for search engines. A fair amount of user queries seek information on problem-solving tasks such as building a fence or repairing a bicycle. However, knowledge graphs completely lack this kind of how-to…
  • Domain-Targeted, High Precision Knowledge Extraction

    Bhavana Dalvi, Niket Tandon, and Peter ClarkTACL2017 Our goal is to construct a domain-targeted, high precision knowledge base (KB), containing general (subject,predicate,object) statements about the world, in support of a downstream question-answering (QA) application. Despite recent advances in information…
  • End-to-End Neural Ad-hoc Ranking with Kernel Pooling

    Chenyan Xiong, Zhuyun Dai, Jamie Callan, Zhiyuan Liu, and Russell PowerSIGIR2017 This paper proposes K-NRM, a kernel based neural model for document ranking. Given a query and a set of documents, K-NRM uses a translation matrix that models word-level similarities via word embeddings, a new kernel-pooling technique that uses kernels to…
  • End-to-end Neural Coreference Resolution

    Kenton Lee, Luheng He, Mike Lewis, and Luke ZettlemoyerEMNLP2017 We introduce the first end-to-end coreference resolution model and show that it significantly outperforms all previous work without using a syntactic parser or handengineered mention detector. The key idea is to directly consider all spans in a document as…
  • Explicit Semantic Ranking for Academic Search via Knowledge Graph Embedding

    Chenyan Xiong, Russell Power and Jamie CallanWWW2017 This paper introduces Explicit Semantic Ranking (ESR), a new ranking technique that leverages knowledge graph embedding. Analysis of the query log from our academic search engine, SemanticScholar.org, reveals that a major error source is its inability to…
  • How Good Are My Predictions? Efficiently Approximating Precision-Recall Curves for Massive Datasets

    Ashish Sabharwal and Hanie SedghiUAI2017 Large scale machine learning produces massive datasets whose items are often associated with a confidence level and can thus be ranked. However, computing the precision of these resources requires human annotation, which is often prohibitively expensive and…
  • Incorporating Ethics into Artificial Intelligence

    Amitai Etzioni and Oren EtzioniJournal of Ethics2017 This article reviews the reasons scholars hold that driverless cars and many other AI equipped machines must be able to make ethical decisions, and the difficulties this approach faces. It then shows that cars have no moral agency, and that the term…
  • Interactive Visualization for Linguistic Structure

    Aaron Sarnat, Vidur Joshi, Cristian Petrescu-Prahova, Alvaro Herrasti, Brandon Stilson, and Mark HopkinsEMNLP2017 We provide a visualization library and web interface for interactively exploring a parse tree or a forest of parses. The library is not tied to any particular linguistic representation, but provides a generalpurpose API for the interactive exploration of…
  • LCNN: Lookup-based Convolutional Neural Network

    Hessam Bagherinezhad, Mohammad Rastegari, and Ali FarhadiCVPR2017 Porting state of the art deep learning algorithms to resource constrained compute platforms (e.g. VR, AR, wearables) is extremely challenging. We propose a fast, compact, and accurate model for convolutional neural networks that enables efficient learning and…
  • Learning to Predict Citation-Based Impact Measures

    Luca Weihs and Oren EtzioniJCDL2017 Citations implicitly encode a community's judgment of a paper's importance and thus provide a unique signal by which to study scientific impact. Efforts in understanding and refining this signal are reflected in the probabilistic modeling of citation networks…
