Exploiting Syntactic Structure for Better Language Modeling: A Syntactic Distance Approach

It is commonly believed that knowledge of syntactic structure should improve language modeling. However, effectively and computationally efficiently incorporating syntactic structure into neural language models has been a challenging topic. In this …

A Multi-Task Learning Approach for Answer Selection: A Study and a Chinese Law Dataset

In this paper, we propose a Multi-Task learning approach for Answer Selection (MTAS), motivated by the fact that humans have no difficulty performing such task because they possess capabilities of multiple domains (tasks). Specifically, MTAS consists …
