Joint Models in NLP - Slides - Tutorial (EMNLP 2018) - Yue Zhang

Tags:

**Joint models: solve 2 tasks at once.**

Related tasks: POS tagging, NER, chuncking. Pipeline tasks

Motivations:

- reduce error propagation
- information exchange between tasks

Challenges:

- Joint learning
- Search

History: statistical models. 2 kinds:

- Graph-Based Methods
    - Traditional solution:
        - Score each candidate, select the highest-scored output
        - Search-space typically exponential
- Transition-Based Methods
    - Transition-Based systems: Automata
        - State: partial result during decoding, Action: operations that can be applied for state transition
        - Output constructed incrementally

- Deep learning based model
    - Neural transition based models
    - Neural graph-based models
        - Cross task
