what If...? Pandemic Policy-decision-support to Guide a Cost-benefit-optimised, Country- Specific Response

Martin Jaggi, Mary-Anne Hartley, Thierry Bossy, Tatjana Chavdarova, Prakhar Gupta

Background After 18 months of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is still no agreement on the optimal combination of mitigation strategies. The efficacy and collateral damage of pandemic policies are dependent on constantly evolving viral epidemiol ...

Learning computationally efficient static word and sentence representations

Prakhar Gupta

Most of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms involve use of distributed vector representations of linguistic units (primarily words and sentences) also known as embeddings in one way or another. These embeddings come in two flavours namely, sta ...

Lightweight Cross-Lingual Sentence Representation Learning

Martin Jaggi, Prakhar Gupta, Zhuoyuan Mao

Large-scale models for learning fixed-dimensional cross-lingual sentence representations like LASER (Artetxe and Schwenk, 2019b) lead to significant improvement in performance on downstream tasks. However, further increases and modifications based on such ...

Design Patterns for Resource-Constrained Automated Deep-Learning Methods

Prakhar Gupta

We present an extensive evaluation of a wide variety of promising design patterns for automated deep-learning (AutoDL) methods, organized according to the problem categories of the 2019 AutoDL challenges, which set the task of optimizing both model accurac ...

Better Word Embeddings by Disentangling Contextual n-Gram Information

Martin Jaggi, Matteo Pagliardini, Prakhar Gupta

Pre-trained word vectors are ubiquitous in Natural Language Processing applications. In this paper, we show how training word embeddings jointly with bigram and even trigram embeddings, results in improved unigram embeddings. We claim that training word em ...

Unsupervised Learning of Sentence Embeddings using Compositional n-Gram Features

Martin Jaggi, Matteo Pagliardini, Prakhar Gupta

The recent tremendous success of unsupervised word embeddings in a multitude of applications raises the obvious question if similar methods could be derived to improve embeddings (i.e. semantic representations) of word sequences as well. We present a simpl ...
