Deep Learning Architectures for Semantic Relation Detection Tasks
Recognizing and distinguishing specific semantic relations from other types of semantic relations is an essential part of language understanding systems. Identifying expressions with similar and contrasting meanings is valuable for NLP systems which go beyond recognizing semantic relatedness and require to identify specific semantic relations. In this talk, I will first present novel techniques for creating labelled datasets required for training deep learning models for classifying semantic relations between phrases. I will further present various neural network architectures that integrate morphological features into integrated path-based and distributional relation detection algorithms and demonstrate that this model outperforms state-of-the-art models in distinguishing semantic relations and is capable of efficiently handling multi-word expressions.

The Presentation contains about Word Sense Diassambiguation. I had tried to explain about the Word Sense in terms of Python language. But it can be also done using nltk.
Words can have more than one distinct meaning and many words can be interpreted in multiple ways
depending on the context in which they occur. The process of automatically identifying the meaning of
a polysemous word in a sentence is a fundamental task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This
phenomenon poses challenges to Natural Language Processing systems. There have been many efforts
on word sense disambiguation for English; however, the amount of efforts for Amharic is very little.
Many natural language processing applications, such as Machine Translation, Information Retrieval,
Question Answering, and Information Extraction, require this task, which occurs at the semantic level.
In this thesis, a knowledge-based word sense disambiguation method that employs Amharic WordNet
is developed. Knowledge-based Amharic WSD extracts knowledge from word definitions and relations
among words and senses. The proposed system consists of preprocessing, morphological analysis and
disambiguation components besides Amharic WordNet database. Preprocessing is used to prepare the
input sentence for morphological analysis and morphological analysis is used to reduce various forms
of a word to a single root or stem word. Amharic WordNet contains words along with its different
meanings, synsets and semantic relations with in concepts. Finally, the disambiguation component is
used to identify the ambiguous words and assign the appropriate sense of ambiguous words in a
sentence using Amharic WordNet by using sense overlap and related words.
We have evaluated the knowledge-based Amharic word sense disambiguation using Amharic
WordNet system by conducting two experiments. The first one is evaluating the effect of Amharic
WordNet with and without morphological analyzer and the second one is determining an optimal
windows size for Amharic WSD. For Amharic WordNet with morphological analyzer and Amharic
WordNet without morphological analyzer we have achieved an accuracy of 57.5% and 80%,
respectively. In the second experiment, we have found that two-word window on each side of the
ambiguous word is enough for Amharic WSD. The test results have shown that the proposed WSD
methods have performed better than previous Amharic WSD methods.

Word sense disambiguation using wsd specific wordnet of polysemy wordsijnlc
This paper presents a new model of WordNet that is used to disambiguate the correct sense of polysemy
word based on the clue words. The related words for each sense of a polysemy word as well as single sense
word are referred to as the clue words. The conventional WordNet organizes nouns, verbs, adjectives and
adverbs together into sets of synonyms called synsets each expressing a different concept. In contrast to the
structure of WordNet, we developed a new model of WordNet that organizes the different senses of
polysemy words as well as the single sense words based on the clue words. These clue words for each sense
of a polysemy word as well as for single sense word are used to disambiguate the correct meaning of the
polysemy word in the given context using knowledge based Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) algorithms.
The clue word can be a noun, verb, adjective or adverb.
Anaphora resolution in hindi language using gazetteer methodijcsa
Anaphora resolution is one of the active research areas within the realm of natural language processing.
Resolution of anaphoric reference is one of the most challenging and complex task to be handled. This
paper completely emphasis on pronominal anaphora resolution for Hindi Language. There are various
methodologies for resolving anaphora. This paper presents a computational model for anaphora resolution
in Hindi that is based on Gazetteer method. Gazetteer method is a creation of lists and then applies
operations to classify elements present in the list. There are many salient factors for resolving anaphora.
The proposed model resolves anaphora by using two factors that is Animistic and Recency. Animistic factor
always represent living things and non living things whereas Recency describes that the referents
mentioned in current sentence tends to have higher weights than those in previous sentence. This paper
demonstrate the experiments conducted on short Hindi stories ,news articles and biography content from
Wikipedia, its result & future directions to improve accuracy.

When people speak, they produce sequences of words. When people listen or read, they also deal with sequences of words. Speakers systematically organize those sequences of words into phrases, clauses, and sentences.
The study of syntax involves discovering the cues that languages provide that show how words in sentences relate to one another.
The study of syntactic parsing involves discovering how comprehenders use those cues to determine how words in sentences relate to one another during the process of interpreting sentence.
Parsing means to breaking down a sentence into its component parts so that the meaning of the sentence can be understood.
This can either be the category of words (Nouns, Pronouns, verbs, adjectives. Etc.)
Or other elements such as verbs tense (present, past, future)
In a phrase structure tree, the labels, like NP, VP, and S, are called nodes and the connections between the different nodes form branches.
The patterns of nodes and branches show how the words in the sentence are grouped together to form phrases and clauses.

Ted Willke - The Brain’s Guide to Dealing with Context in Language UnderstandingMLconf
The Brain’s Guide to Dealing with Context in Language Understanding
Like the visual cortex, the regions of the brain involved in understanding language represent information hierarchically. But whereas the visual cortex organizes things into a spatial hierarchy, the language regions encode information into a hierarchy of timescale. This organization is key to our uniquely human ability to integrate semantic information across narratives. More and more, deep learning-based approaches to natural language understanding embrace models that incorporate contextual information at varying timescales. This has not only led to state-of-the art performance on many difficult natural language tasks, but also to breakthroughs in our understanding of brain activity.
In this talk, we will discuss the important connection between language understanding and context at different timescales. We will explore how different deep learning architectures capture timescales in language and how closely their encodings mimic the brain. Along the way, we will uncover some surprising discoveries about what depth does and doesn’t buy you in deep recurrent neural networks. And we’ll describe a new, more flexible way to think about these architectures and ease design space exploration. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the exciting applications made possible by these breakthroughs.
Justin Armstrong - Applying Computer Vision to Reduce Contamination in the Re...MLconf
Applying Computer Vision to Reduce Contamination in the Recycling Stream
With China’s recent refusal of most foreign recyclables, North American waste haulers are scrambling to figure out how to make on-shore recycling cost-effective in order to continue providing recycling services. Recyclables that were once being shipped to China for manual sorting are now primarily being redirected to landfills or incinerators. Without a solution, a nearly $5 billion annual recycling market could come to a halt.
Purity in the recycling stream is key to this effort as contaminants in the stream can increase the cost of operations, damage equipment and reduce the ability to create pure commodities suitable for creating recycled goods. This market disruption as a result of China’s new regulations, however, provides us the chance to re-examine and improve our current disposal & collection habits with modern monitoring & artificial intelligence technology.
Using images from our in-dumpster cameras, Compology has developed an ML-based process that helps identify, measure and alert for contaminants in recycling containers before they are picked-up, helping keep the recycling stream clean.
Our convolutional neural network flags potential instances of contamination inside a dumpster, enabling garbage haulers to know which containers have the wrong type of material inside. This allows them to provide targeted, timely education, and when appropriate, assess fines, to improve recycling compliance at the businesses and residences they serve, helping keep recycling services financially viable.
In this presentation, we will walk through our ML-based contamination measurement and scoring process by showing how Waste Management, a national waste hauler, has experienced 57% contamination reduction in nearly 2,000 containers over six months, This progress shows significant strides towards financially viable recycling services.

Project GaitNet: Ushering in the ImageNet moment for human Gait kinematics
The emergence of the upright human bipedal gait can be traced back 4 to 2.8 million years ago, to the now extinct hominin Australopithecus afarensis. Fine grained analysis of gait using the modern MEMS sensors found on all smartphones not just reveals a lot about the person’s orthopedic and neuromuscular health status, but also has enough idiosyncratic clues that it can be harnessed as a passive biometric. While there were many siloed attempts made by the machine learning community to model Bipedal Gait sensor data, these were done with small datasets oft collected in restricted academic environs. In this talk, we will introduce the ImageNet moment for human gait analysis by presenting 'Project GaitNet', the largest ever planet-sized motion sensor based human bipedal gait dataset ever curated. We’ll also present the associated state-of-the-art results in classifying humans harnessing novel deep neural architectures and the related success stories we have enjoyed in transfer-learning into disparate domains of human kinematics analysis.
Jekaterina Novikova - Machine Learning Methods in Detecting Alzheimer’s Disea...MLconf
Machine Learning Methods in Detecting Alzheimer’s Disease from Speech and Language
Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people worldwide, and it is important to predict the disease as early and as accurate as possible. In this talk, I will discuss development of novel ML models that help classifying healthy people from those who develop Alzheimer's, using short samples of human speech. As an input to the model, features of different modalities are extracted from speech audio samples and transcriptions: (1) syntactic measures, such as e.g. production rules extracted from syntactic parse trees, (2) lexical measures, such as e.g. features of lexical richness and complexity and lexical norms, and (3) acoustic measures, such as e.g. standard Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. I will present the ML model that detects cognitive impairment by reaching agreement among modalities. The resulting model is able to achieve state of the art performance in both supervised and semi-supervised manner, using manual transcripts of human speech. Additionally, I will discuss potential limitations of any fully-automated speech-based Alzheimer's disease detection model, focusing mostly on the analysis of the impact of a not-so-accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) on the classification performance. To illustrate this, I will present the experiments with controlled amounts of artificially generated ASR errors and explain how the deletion errors affect Alzheimer's detection performance the most, due to their impact on the features of syntactic and lexical complexity.
Meghana Ravikumar - Optimized Image Classification on the CheapMLconf
Optimized Image Classification on the Cheap
In this talk, we anchor on building an image classifier trained on the Stanford Cars dataset to evaluate two approaches to transfer learning -fine tuning and feature extraction- and the impact of hyperparameter optimization on these techniques. Once we define the most performant transfer learning technique for Stanford Cars, we will double the size of the dataset through image augmentation to boost the classifier’s performance. We will use Bayesian optimization to learn the hyperparameters associated with image transformations using the downstream image classifier’s performance as the guide. In conjunction with model performance, we will also focus on the features of these augmented images and the downstream implications for our image classifier.
To both maximize model performance on a budget and explore the impact of optimization on these methods, we apply a particularly efficient implementation of Bayesian optimization to each of these architectures in this comparison. Our goal is to draw on a rigorous set of experimental results that can help us answer the question: how can resource-constrained teams make trade-offs between efficiency and effectiveness using pre-trained models?
Noam Finkelstein - The Importance of Modeling Data CollectionMLconf
The Importance of Modeling Data Collection
Data sets used in machine learning are often collected in a systematically biased way - certain data points are more likely to be collected than others. We call this "observation bias". For example, in health care, we are more likely to see lab tests when the patient is feeling unwell than otherwise. Failing to account for observation bias can, of course, result in poor predictions on new data. By contrast, properly accounting for this bias allows us to make better use of the data we do have.
In this presentation, we discuss practical and theoretical approaches to dealing with observation bias. When the nature of the bias is known, there are simple adjustments we can make to nonparametric function estimation techniques, such as Gaussian Process models. We also discuss the scenario where the data collection model is unknown. In this case, there are steps we can take to estimate it from observed data. Finally, we demonstrate that having a small subset of data points that are known to be collected at random - that is, in an unbiased way - can vastly improve our ability to account for observation bias in the rest of the data set.
My hope is that attendees of this presentation will be aware of the perils of observation bias in their own work, and be equipped with tools to address it.
The Uncanny Valley of ML
Every so often, the conundrum of the Uncanny Valley re-emerges as advanced technologies evolve from clearly experimental products to refined accepted technologies. We have seen its effects in robotics, computer graphics, and page load times. The debate of how to handle the new technology detracts from its benefits. When machine learning is added to human decision systems a similar effect can be measured in increased response time and decreased accuracy. These systems include radiology, judicial assignments, bus schedules, housing prices, power grids and a growing variety of applications. Unfortunately, the Uncanny Valley of ML can be hard to detect in these systems and can lead to degraded system performance when ML is introduced, at great expense. Here, we'll introduce key design principles for introducing ML into human decision systems to navigate around the Uncanny Valley and avoid its pitfalls.

Building an Incrementally Trained, Local Taste Aware, Global Deep Learned Recommender System Model
At Netflix, our main goal is to maximize our members’ enjoyment of the selected show by minimizing the amount of time it takes for them to find it. We try to achieve this goal by personalizing almost all the aspects of our product -- from what shows to recommend, to how to present these shows and construct their home-pages to what images to select per show, among many other things. Everything is recommendations for us and as an applied Machine Learning group, we spend our time building models for personalization that will eventually increase the joy and satisfaction of our members. In this talk we will primarily focus our attention on a) making a global deep learned recommender model that is regional tastes and popularity aware and b) adapting this model to changing taste preferences as well as dynamic catalog availability.
We will first go through some standard recommender system models that use Matrix Factorization and Topic Models and then compare and contrast them with more powerful and higher capacity deep learning based models such as sequence models that use recurrent neural networks. We will show what it entails to build a global model that is aware of regional taste preferences and catalog availability. We will show how models that are built on simple Maximum Likelihood principle fail to do that. We will then describe one solution that we have employed in order to enable the global deep learned models to focus their attention on capturing regional taste preferences and changing catalog.In the latter half of the talk, we will discuss how we do incremental learning of deep learned recommender system models. Why do we need to do that ? Everything changes with time. Users’ tastes change with time. What’s available on Netflix and what’s popular also change over time. Therefore, updating or improving recommendation systems over time is necessary to bring more joy to users. In addition to how we apply incremental learning, we will discuss some of the challenges we face involving large-scale data preparation, infrastructure setup for incremental model training as well as pipeline scheduling. The incremental training enables us to serve fresher models trained on fresher and larger amounts of data. This helps our recommender system to nicely and quickly adapt to catalog and users’ taste changes, and improve overall performance.

Vito Ostuni - The Voice: New Challenges in a Zero UI World
The adoption of voice-enabled devices has seen an explosive growth in the last few years and music consumption is among the most popular use cases. Music personalization and recommendation plays a major role at Pandora in providing a daily delightful listening experience for millions of users. In turn, providing the same perfectly tailored listening experience through these novel voice interfaces brings new interesting challenges and exciting opportunities. In this talk we will describe how we apply personalization and recommendation techniques in three common voice scenarios which can be defined in terms of request types: known-item, thematic, and broad open-ended. We will describe how we use deep learning slot filling techniques and query classification to interpret the user intent and identify the main concepts in the query.
We will also present the differences and challenges regarding evaluation of voice powered recommendation systems. Since pure voice interfaces do not contain visual UI elements, relevance labels need to be inferred through implicit actions such as play time, query reformulations or other types of session level information. Another difference is that while the typical recommendation task corresponds to recommending a ranked list of items, a voice play request translates into a single item play action. Thus, some considerations about closed feedback loops need to be made. In summary, improving the quality of voice interactions in music services is a relatively new challenge and many exciting opportunities for breakthroughs still remain. There are many new aspects of recommendation system interfaces to address to bring a delightful and effortless experience for voice users. We will share a few open challenges to solve for the future.

26. Background
• Prior work: Path-based, Distributional
• Integrated neural path-based (improved path-
based) and distributional method for detecting
Hypernymy - HypeNET [Vered et al., 2015]
• Integrated neural path-based (improved path-
based) and distributional method for detecting
multiple semantic relations - LexNET [Vered et al.,
2016]
27. Distributional Approach
Recognize the relation between x and y based on
their separate occurrences in the corpus
Distributional Hypothesis
Words that occur in similar contexts have similar meanings
Using x and y's word embeddings [Mikolov et al., 2013,
Pennington et al. 2014] as distributional vector representations
28. Supervised Distributional
Methods
• Represent (x, y) as a feature vector, based on the
term’s embeddings
• Train a classifier to predict whether y is a <relation>
of x
Concatenation[Baroni et al. 2012]
x + y
They don’t learn the relation between x and y, but mostly that is a
prototypical relation!
E.g. (x, fruit), (x, animal) are always hypernyms
29. Path-based Approach
Recognize the relation between x and y based on
their joint occurrences in the corpus
Hearst Patterns [Hearst, 1992]
Patterns connecting x and y may indicate
that x is a <relation> of y
X is a Y (Hypernym)
Neither X nor Y
(Antonym)
Patterns can be represented using
dependency paths
30. Supervised Path-based Method
• Features: all dependency paths that connect x and
y in a corpus
• Supervised: Labelled training data (word pairs)
• Trained a logistic regression classifier to predict a
relation
Feature space is too sparse!
Similar paths share no information
X inc. is a Y, X group is a Y, X organization is a Y
31. Neural path-based method
HypeNET
• Split each path between X and Y into edges
• Each edge consists of 4 components: lemma/POS/
dependency label/direction
• Learn embedding vectors for each component
LSTM LSTM LSTM LSTM
32. Neural path-based method
• Feed the edges sequentially to an LSTM
• Use the last output vector as the path embedding
• The LSTM may focus on edges that are more informative or
the classification task, while ignoring others
33. Neural path-based method
• The LSTM encodes a single path
• Each pair of terms occurs in multiple paths
• Represent a term-pair as its averaged path embedding
• Classify for hypernym (or other lexical relationship)

34. LexNET: Multiple Semantic
Relations
• LexNET: An extension of HypeNET to classify
multiple semantic relations (E.g. meronymy,
synonymy, antonymy etc.)
•
38. Replacement of word
embeddings
• Rare Paths: neither happy nor sad vs.
neither happy nor unhappy
• Seemingly negated words: valuable -
invaluable
• Multi-Word Expressions: not happy
40. Integrated Model
• Add distributional information with path information
• Concatenate x and y’s word embeddings to the averaged path
• Classify for antonymy (integrated network)

49. Improvements
• In recent years, SOTA performance has been achieved using neural
models by incorporating lexical and syntactic features such as POS tags
and dependency trees.
• Although syntactic features are no doubt helpful, a known challenge is
that parsers are not available for every language, and even when
available, they may not be sufficiently robust, especially for out-of-domain
text, which may even hurt performance
• Recently, the NLP community has seen excitement around neural models
that make heavy use of pre-training based on language modeling
• Without using any external features, a simple BERT-based model can
achieve SOTA performance for Relation Extraction and Semantic Role
Labeling [Shi et. al. 2019, You et. al. 2019].
50. BERT-based models for
Multi-way classification of semantic
relations (SemEval)
The task is, given a sentence and two tagged nominals,
to predict the relation between those nominals and the
direction of the relation.
