DIFM:An effective deep interaction and fusion model for sentence matching

“Natural language sentence matching is the task of comparing two sentences and identifying the relationship between them. It has a wide range of applications in natural language processing tasks such as reading comprehension, question and answer systems. The main approach is to compute the interaction between text representations and sentence pairs through an attention mechanism, which can extract the semantic information between sentence pairs well. However, this kind of methods fail to capture deep semantic information and effectively fuse the semantic information of the sentence. To solve this problem, we propose a sentence matching method based on deep interaction and fusion. We first use pre-trained word vectors Glove and characterlevel word vectors to obtain word embedding representations of the two sentences. In the encoding layer, we use bidirectional LSTM to encode the sentence pairs. In the interaction layer, we initially fuse the information of the sentence pairs to obtain low-level semantic information; at the same time, we use the bi-directional attention in the machine reading comprehension model and self-attention to obtain the high-level semantic information. We use a heuristic fusion function to fuse the low-level semantic information and the high-level semantic information to obtain the final semantic information, and finally we use the convolutional neural network to predict the answer. We evaluate our model on two tasks: text implication recognition and paraphrase recognition. We conducted experiments on the SNLI datasets for the recognizing textual entailment task, the Quora dataset for the paraphrase recognition task. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively fuse different semantic information that verify the effectiveness of the algorithm on sentence matching tasks.”

Incorporating translation quality estimation into Chinese-Korean neural machine translation

Exposure bias and poor translation diversity are two common problems in neural machine trans-lation (NMT) which are caused by the general of the teacher forcing strategy for training inthe NMT models. Moreover the NMT models usually require the large-scale and high-quality parallel corpus. However Korean is a low resource language and there is no large-scale parallel corpus between Chinese and Korean which is a challenging for the researchers. Therefore wepropose a method which is to incorporate translation quality estimation into the translation processand adopt reinforcement learning. The evaluation mechanism is used to guide the training of the model so that the prediction cannot converge completely to the ground truth word. When the model predicts a sequence different from the ground truth word the evaluation mechanism cangive an appropriate evaluation and reward to the model. In addition we alleviated the lack of Korean corpus resources by adding training data. In our experiment we introduce a monolingual corpus of a certain scale to construct pseudo-parallel data. At the same time we also preprocessed the Korean corpus with different granularities to overcome the data sparsity. Experimental results show that our work is superior to the baselines in Chinese-Korean and Korean-Chinese translation tasks which fully certificates the effectiveness of our method.

Recognition Method of Important Words in Korean Text based on Reinforcement Learning

Proceedings of the 19th Chinese National Conference on Computational Linguistics

The manual labeling work for constructing the Korean corpus is too time-consuming and laborious. It is difficult for low-minority languages to integrate resources. As a result, the research progress of Korean language information processing is slow. From the perspective of representation learning, reinforcement learning was combined with traditional deep learning methods. Based on the Korean text classification effect as a benchmark, and studied how to extract important Korean words in sentences. A structured model Information Distilled of Korean (IDK) was proposed. The model recognizes the words in Korean sentences and retains important words and deletes non-important words. Thereby transforming the reconstruction of the sentence into a sequential decision problem. So you can introduce the Policy Gradient method in reinforcement learning to solve the conversion problem. The results show that the model can identify the important words in Korean instead of manual annotation for representation learning. Furthermore, compared with traditional text classification methods, the model also improves the effect of Korean text classification.
