NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP) WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Overtime
Hey Welcome back, another week goes by and so much code/research has been released into the wild.
Oh and btw, The NLP Index is on ??? , and I want to thank all contributors!
Here’s a quick glimpse at the awesome contributions: A collection of Spanish Medical NLP datasets brought to you by Salvador Lima in Barcelona. ?? Will update the NLP Index with these and other assets by tomorrow.
Cantemist (oncology clinical cases for cancer text mining): https://zenodo.org/record/3978041
PharmaCoNER (Pharmacological Substances, Compounds and proteins in Spanish clinical case reports): https://zenodo.org/record/4270158
CodiEsp (Abstracts from Lilacs and Ibecs with ICD10 codes): https://zenodo.org/record/3606662
MEDDOCAN (Medical Document Anonymization): https://zenodo.org/record/4279323
MESINESP2 (Medical Semantic Indexing): https://zenodo.org/record/4722925
Wav2vec-U: Unsupervised Speech Recognition ?
This new FAIR model doesn’t need transcriptions to learn speech. It just needs unsupervised speech recordings and text. They used a GAN to help discriminate phonemes (sounds of language). While Wav2vec-U doesn’t achieve SOTA on the Librispeech benchmark, it still gets a pretty good score given the fact it didn’t require 960 hours of transcribed speech data. ?

Polars Dataframes ?
If you use dataframes often, you should check out Polars. It’s an awesome dataframe library written in Rust (includes Python bindings). Comes with Arrow support and all of its glory including parquet file and AWS S3 IO support.

KELM | Converting WikiData to Natural Language
Google introduces the KELM dataset in a huge win for the factoid nerds. The dataset is a Wikidata knowledge graph converted into natural language with the idea of using the corpus for improving the factual knowledge in pretrained models! A T5 was used for this conversion. The corpus consists of ~18M sentences spanning ~45M triples and ~1500 relations.

Measuring Coding Challenge Competence With APPS
A benchmark for code generation.
Check out the GPT-Neo results when compared to GPT-2/3, very interesting.
wikipiifed — Automated Dataset Creation and Federated Learning
A repo for automating dataset creation from wikipedia biography pages and utilizing the dataset for federated learning of BERT based named entity recognizer.
OpenMEVA Benchmark
OpenMEVA is a benchmark for evaluating open-ended story generation.
KLUE: Korean Language Understanding Evaluation
KLUE benchmark is composed of 8 tasks:
- Topic Classification (TC)
- Sentence Textual Similarity (STS)
- Natural Language Inference (NLI)
- Named Entity Recognition (NER)
- Relation Extraction (RE)
- (Part-Of-Speech) + Dependency Parsing (DP)
- Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC)
- Dialogue State Tracking (DST)
Contextual Machine Translation
Context-aware models for document-level machine translation. Also includes SCAT, an English-French dataset comprising supporting context words for 14K translations that professional translators found useful for pronoun disambiguation.
Most MT models are on the sentence level, so this is an interesting repo for those looking to go onto the document level.
Dataset of the Week: Few-NERD
What is it?
Few-NERD is a large-scale, fine-grained manually annotated named entity recognition dataset, which contains 8 coarse-grained types, 66 fine-grained types, 188,200 sentences, 491,711 entities and 4,601,223 tokens. Three benchmark tasks are built, one is supervised: Few-NERD (SUP) and the other two are few-shot: Few-NERD (INTRA) and Few-NERD (INTER).
