SLHCat: Mapping Wikipedia Categories and Lists to DBpedia by Leveraging Semantic, Lexical, and Hierarchical Features

Wikipedia articles are hierarchically organized through categories and lists, providing one of the most comprehensive and universal taxonomy, but its open creation is causing redundancies and inconsistencies. Assigning DBPedia classes to Wikipedia categories and lists can alleviate the problem, realizing a large knowledge graph which is essential for categorizing digital contents through entity linking and typing. However, the existing approach of CaLiGraph is producing incomplete and non-fine grained mappings. In this paper, we tackle the problem as ontology alignment, where structural information of knowledge graphs and lexical and semantic features of ontology class names are utilized to discover confident mappings, which are in turn utilized for finetuing pretrained language models in a distant supervision fashion. Our method SLHCat consists of two main parts: 1) Automatically generating training data by leveraging knowledge graph structure, semantic similarities, and named entity typing. 2) Finetuning and prompt-tuning of the pre-trained language model BERT are carried out over the training data, to capture semantic and syntactic properties of class names. Our model SLHCat is evaluated over a benchmark dataset constructed by annotating 3000 fine-grained CaLiGraph-DBpedia mapping pairs. SLHCat is outperforming the baseline model by a large margin of 25% in accuracy, offering a practical solution for large-scale ontology mapping.

Few-Shot Multi-Label Aspect Category Detection Utilizing Prototypical Network with Sentence-Level Weighting and Label Augmentation

Multi-label aspect category detection is intended to detect multiple aspect categories occurring in a given sentence. Since aspect category detection often suffers from limited datasets and data sparsity, the prototypical network with attention mechanisms has been applied for few-shot aspect category detection. Nevertheless, most of the prototypical networks used so far calculate the prototypes by taking the mean value of all the instances in the support set. This seems to ignore the variations between instances in multi-label aspect category detection. Also, several related works utilize label text information to enhance the attention mechanism. However, the label text information is often short and limited, and not specific enough to discern categories. In this paper, we first introduce support set attention along with the augmented label information to mitigate the noise at word-level for each support set instance. Moreover, we use a sentence-level attention mechanism that gives different weights to each instance in the support set in order to compute prototypes by weighted averaging. Finally, the calculated prototypes are further used in conjunction with query instances to compute query attention and thereby eliminate noises from the query set. Experimental results on the Yelp dataset show that our proposed method is useful and outperforms all baselines in four different scenarios.

Enhancing Keyphrase Generation by BART Finetuning with Splitting and Shuffling

Keyphrase generation is a task of identifying a set of phrases that best repre-sent the main topics or themes of a given text. Keyphrases are dividend int pre-sent and absent keyphrases. Recent approaches utilizing sequence-to-sequence models show effectiveness on absent keyphrase generation. However, the per-formance is still limited due to the hardness of finding absent keyphrases. In this paper, we propose Keyphrase-Focused BART, which exploits the differ-ences between present and absent keyphrase generations, and performs fine-tuning of two separate BART models for present and absent keyphrases. We further show effective approaches of shuffling keyphrases and candidate keyphrase ranking. For absent keyphrases, our Keyphrase-Focused BART achieved new state-of-the-art score on F1@5 in two out of five keyphrase gen-eration benchmark datasets.
