[2203.14655] Few-Shot Learning with Siamese Networks and Label Tuning

Tags:

> the problem of building text classifiers with little or no training data.
>
> In recent years, an approach based on neural textual entailment models has been found to give strong results on a diverse range of tasks.

(cf. #[NLI](tag:nli), using the input text as the premise and the text representing the label as the hypothesis)

> In this work, we show that **with proper pre-training, Siamese Networks that embed texts and labels** offer a competitive alternative.
>
> We introduce **label tuning: fine-tuning the label embeddings only**. While giving lower performance than model fine-tuning (which updates all params of the model), this approach has the architectural advantage that a single encoder can be shared by many different tasks (we only fine-tune the label embeddings)
> The drop in quality can
be compensated by using a variant of **[Knowledge distillation](tag:knowledge_distillation)**

[1911.11506] Word-Class Embeddings for Multiclass Text Classification

Tags:

> In supervised tasks such as multiclass
text classification (the focus of this article) it seems appealing to enhance word representations
with ad-hoc embeddings that encode task-specific information. We propose (supervised) word-class
embeddings (WCEs), and show that, when concatenated to (unsupervised) pre-trained word embeddings,
they substantially facilitate the training of deep-learning models in multiclass classification by
topic.
>
> A differentiating aspect of our method is that it keeps the modelling of word-class interactions separate from the
original word embedding. Word-class correlations are confined in a dedicated vector space, whose vectors enhance
(by concatenation) the unsupervised representations. The net effect is an embedding matrix that is better suited to
classification, and imposes no restriction to the network architecture using it.

[github](https://github.com/AlexMoreo/word-class-embeddings). Refers to [LEAM](doc:2020/02/joint_embedding_of_words_and_la) :

> [in LEAM] Once words and labels are embedded in a common vector space, word-label
compatibility is measured via cosine similarity. Our method instead models these compatibilities directly, without
generating intermediate embeddings for words or labels.

[1909.01259] Neural Attentive Bag-of-Entities Model for Text Classification

Tags:

A model that performs **text classification using entities in a knowledge base**.

> Entities provide unambiguous and relevant semantic signals that are beneficial for capturing semantics in texts. We combine **simple high-recall entity detection based on a dictionary** (word->list of entities), to detect entities in a document, with a novel neural **attention mechanism that enables the model to focus on a small number of unambiguous and relevant entities**.

2 steps:

1. Entity detection
2. Classification using the detected entities (+text) as inputs

Regarding entity linking, a local model which uses cosine
similarity between the embedding of the target
entity and the word-based representation of
the document to capture the relevance of an entity
given a document.

Embeddings from the KB: computed using [#Wikipedia2Vec](tag:wikipedia2vec) (similar words and entities
close to one another in a unified vector space)

Model using attention, with 2 features :

- cosine similarity between the
embedding of the entity and the word based
representation of the document
- the probability that the entity
name refers to the entity in KB.

Somewhat [related](doc:2020/01/investigating_entity_knowledge_)

### Conclusion:

>a neural
network model that performs text classification using
entities in Wikipedia. We combined simple
dictionary-based entity detection with a neural attention
mechanism to enable the model to focus
on a small number of unambiguous and relevant
entities in a document.
