UNBNLP at SemEval-2021 Task 1: Predicting lexical complexity with masked language models and character-level encoders

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2021 Milton King, Ali Hakimi Parizi, Samin Fakharian, Paul Cook

In this paper, we present three supervised systems for English lexical complexity prediction of single and multiword expressions for SemEval-2021 Task 1.

Lexical Complexity Prediction

Joint Training for Learning Cross-lingual Embeddings with Sub-word Information without Parallel Corpora

no code implementations Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics 2020 Ali Hakimi Parizi, Paul Cook

In this paper, we propose a novel method for learning cross-lingual word embeddings, that incorporates sub-word information during training, and is able to learn high-quality embeddings from modest amounts of monolingual data and a bilingual lexicon.

Evaluating Sub-word Embeddings in Cross-lingual Models

no code implementations LREC 2020 Ali Hakimi Parizi, Paul Cook

This is particularly problematic for low-resource and morphologically-rich languages, which often have relatively high OOV rates.

UNBNLP at SemEval-2019 Task 5 and 6: Using Language Models to Detect Hate Speech and Offensive Language

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2019 Ali Hakimi Parizi, Milton King, Paul Cook

In this paper we apply a range of approaches to language modeling {--} including word-level n-gram and neural language models, and character-level neural language models {--} to the problem of detecting hate speech and offensive language.

Do Character-Level Neural Network Language Models Capture Knowledge of Multiword Expression Compositionality?

no code implementations COLING 2018 Ali Hakimi Parizi, Paul Cook

In this paper, we propose the first model for multiword expression (MWE) compositionality prediction based on character-level neural network language models.

UNBNLP at SemEval-2018 Task 10: Evaluating unsupervised approaches to capturing discriminative attributes

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2018 Milton King, Ali Hakimi Parizi, Paul Cook

In this paper we present three unsupervised models for capturing discriminative attributes based on information from word embeddings, WordNet, and sentence-level word co-occurrence frequency.
