Comparing Convolutional Neural Networks to Traditional Models for Slot Filling

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We address relation classification in the context of slot filling, the task of finding and evaluating fillers like "Steve Jobs" for the slot X in "X founded Apple". We propose a convolutional neural network which …

Neighboring Words Affect Human Interpretation of Saliency Explanations

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Word-level saliency explanations ("heat maps over words") are often used to communicate feature-attribution in text-based models. Recent studies found that superficial factors such as word length can distort human interpretation of the communicated saliency scores. …
