DeepZensols: Deep Natural Language Processing Framework

Reproducing results in publications by distributing publicly available source code is becoming ever more popular. Given the difficulty of reproducing machine learning (ML) experiments, there have been significant efforts in reducing the variance of these results. As in any science, the ability to consistently reproduce results effectively strengthens the underlying hypothesis of the work, and thus, should be regarded as important as the novel aspect of the research itself. The contribution of this work is a framework that is able to reproduce consistent results and provides a means of easily creating, training, and evaluating natural language processing (NLP) deep learning (DL) models.

A Supervised Approach To The Interpretation Of Imperative To-Do Lists

To-do lists are a popular medium for personal information management. As to-do tasks are increasingly tracked in electronic form with mobile and desktop organizers, so does the potential for software support for the corresponding tasks by means of intelligent agents. While there has been work in the area of personal assistants for to-do tasks, no work has focused on classifying user intention and information extraction as we do. We show that our methods perform well across two corpora that span sub-domains, one of which we released.
