失风检测是实时对话系统中的关键任务。然而，尽管重要的是，它仍然是一个相对未开发的领域，主要是由于缺乏适当的数据集。与此同时，现有数据集遭受各种问题，包括类别不平衡问题，这可能会显着影响稀有类别的模型的性能，因为本文证明了它。为此，我们提出猪油，一种用于产生复杂和逼真的人工失败的方法，几乎​​没有努力。所提出的方法可以处理三种最常见的多种多变类型：重复，替换和重新启动。此外，我们释放了一个具有可能在四个不同任务中使用的大规模数据集：失败检测，分类，提取和校正。 LARD DataSet上的实验结果表明，通过所提出的方法产生的数据可以有效地用于检测和消除不流化，同时还解决了现有数据集的限制。

Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) is the task of automatically detecting and correcting errors in text. The task not only includes the correction of grammatical errors, such as missing prepositions and mismatched subject-verb agreement, but also orthographic and semantic errors, such as misspellings and word choice errors respectively. The field has seen significant progress in the last decade, motivated in part by a series of five shared tasks, which drove the development of rule-based methods, statistical classifiers, statistical machine translation, and finally neural machine translation systems which represent the current dominant state of the art. In this survey paper, we condense the field into a single article and first outline some of the linguistic challenges of the task, introduce the most popular datasets that are available to researchers (for both English and other languages), and summarise the various methods and techniques that have been developed with a particular focus on artificial error generation. We next describe the many different approaches to evaluation as well as concerns surrounding metric reliability, especially in relation to subjective human judgements, before concluding with an overview of recent progress and suggestions for future work and remaining challenges. We hope that this survey will serve as comprehensive resource for researchers who are new to the field or who want to be kept apprised of recent developments.

Natural Language Generation (NLG) has improved exponentially in recent years thanks to the development of sequence-to-sequence deep learning technologies such as Transformer-based language models. This advancement has led to more fluent and coherent NLG, leading to improved development in downstream tasks such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and data-to-text generation. However, it is also apparent that deep learning based generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades the system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, many studies have been presented in measuring and mitigating hallucinated texts, but these have never been reviewed in a comprehensive manner before. In this survey, we thus provide a broad overview of the research progress and challenges in the hallucination problem in NLG. The survey is organized into two parts: (1) a general overview of metrics, mitigation methods, and future directions; and (2) an overview of task-specific research progress on hallucinations in the following downstream tasks, namely abstractive summarization, dialogue generation, generative question answering, data-to-text generation, machine translation, and visual-language generation. This survey serves to facilitate collaborative efforts among researchers in tackling the challenge of hallucinated texts in NLG.

The rapid advancement of AI technology has made text generation tools like GPT-3 and ChatGPT increasingly accessible, scalable, and effective. This can pose serious threat to the credibility of various forms of media if these technologies are used for plagiarism, including scientific literature and news sources. Despite the development of automated methods for paraphrase identification, detecting this type of plagiarism remains a challenge due to the disparate nature of the datasets on which these methods are trained. In this study, we review traditional and current approaches to paraphrase identification and propose a refined typology of paraphrases. We also investigate how this typology is represented in popular datasets and how under-representation of certain types of paraphrases impacts detection capabilities. Finally, we outline new directions for future research and datasets in the pursuit of more effective paraphrase detection using AI.

了解用户的意图并从句子中识别出语义实体，即自然语言理解（NLU），是许多自然语言处理任务的上游任务。主要挑战之一是收集足够数量的注释数据来培训模型。现有有关文本增强的研究并没有充分考虑实体，因此对于NLU任务的表现不佳。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种新型的NLP数据增强技术，实体意识数据增强（EADA），该技术应用了树结构，实体意识到语法树（EAST），以表示句子与对实体的注意相结合。我们的EADA技术会自动从少量注释的数据中构造东方，然后生成大量的培训实例，以进行意图检测和插槽填充。四个数据集的实验结果表明，该技术在准确性和泛化能力方面显着优于现有数据增强方法。

了解用户对话中的毒性无疑是一个重要问题。正如在以前的工作中所说的那样，解决“隐秘”或隐含毒性案件特别困难，需要上下文。以前很少有研究已经分析了会话语境在人类感知或自动检测模型中的影响。我们深入探讨这两个方向。我们首先分析现有的上下文数据集，并得出结论，人类的毒性标记一般受到对话结构，极性和主题的影响。然后，我们建议通过引入（a）神经架构来将这些发现带入计算检测模型中，以了解会话结构的语境毒性检测，以及（b）可以帮助模拟语境毒性检测的数据增强策略。我们的结果表明了了解谈话结构的神经架构的令人鼓舞的潜力。我们还表明，这些模型可以从合成数据中受益，尤其是在社交媒体领域。

数据增强是自然语言处理（NLP）模型的鲁棒性评估的重要组成部分，以及增强他们培训的数据的多样性。在本文中，我们呈现NL-Cogmenter，这是一种新的参与式Python的自然语言增强框架，它支持创建两个转换（对数据的修改）和过滤器（根据特定功能的数据拆分）。我们描述了框架和初始的117个变换和23个过滤器，用于各种自然语言任务。我们通过使用其几个转换来分析流行自然语言模型的鲁棒性来证明NL-Upmenter的功效。基础架构，Datacards和稳健性分析结果在NL-Augmenter存储库上公开可用（\ url {https://github.com/gem-benchmark/nl-augmenter}）。

Damage to the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's area) can cause agrammatic aphasia wherein patients, although able to comprehend, lack the ability to form complete sentences. This inability leads to communication gaps which cause difficulties in their daily lives. The usage of assistive devices can help in mitigating these issues and enable the patients to communicate effectively. However, due to lack of large scale studies of linguistic deficits in aphasia, research on such assistive technology is relatively limited. In this work, we present two contributions that aim to re-initiate research and development in this field. Firstly, we propose a model that uses linguistic features from small scale studies on aphasia patients and generates large scale datasets of synthetic aphasic utterances from grammatically correct datasets. We show that the mean length of utterance, the noun/verb ratio, and the simple/complex sentence ratio of our synthetic datasets correspond to the reported features of aphasic speech. Further, we demonstrate how the synthetic datasets may be utilized to develop assistive devices for aphasia patients. The pre-trained T5 transformer is fine-tuned using the generated dataset to suggest 5 corrected sentences given an aphasic utterance as input. We evaluate the efficacy of the T5 model using the BLEU and cosine semantic similarity scores. Affirming results with BLEU score of 0.827/1.00 and semantic similarity of 0.904/1.00 were obtained. These results provide a strong foundation for the concept that a synthetic dataset based on small scale studies on aphasia can be used to develop effective assistive technology.

The goal of building dialogue agents that can converse with humans naturally has been a long-standing dream of researchers since the early days of artificial intelligence. The well-known Turing Test proposed to judge the ultimate validity of an artificial intelligence agent on the indistinguishability of its dialogues from humans'. It should come as no surprise that human-level dialogue systems are very challenging to build. But, while early effort on rule-based systems found limited success, the emergence of deep learning enabled great advance on this topic. In this thesis, we focus on methods that address the numerous issues that have been imposing the gap between artificial conversational agents and human-level interlocutors. These methods were proposed and experimented with in ways that were inspired by general state-of-the-art AI methodologies. But they also targeted the characteristics that dialogue systems possess.

对于自然语言处理应用可能是有问题的，因为它们的含义不能从其构成词语推断出来。缺乏成功的方法方法和足够大的数据集防止了用于检测成语的机器学习方法的开发，特别是对于在训练集中不发生的表达式。我们提出了一种叫做小鼠的方法，它使用上下文嵌入来实现此目的。我们展示了一个新的多字表达式数据集，具有文字和惯用含义，并使用它根据两个最先进的上下文单词嵌入式培训分类器：Elmo和Bert。我们表明，使用两个嵌入式的深度神经网络比现有方法更好地执行，并且能够检测惯用词使用，即使对于训练集中不存在的表达式。我们展示了开发模型的交叉传输，并分析了所需数据集的大小。

插槽填充和意图检测是诸如语音助手的会话代理的骨干，是有效的研究领域。尽管公开的基准上的最先进的技术，但令人印象深刻的性能，他们概括到现实情景的能力尚未得到证明。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种自然，一套简单的口语导向转换，应用于数据集的评估集，在保留话语的语义时引入人类口语变化。我们将大自然应用于共同的插槽填充和意图检测基准，并证明了自然集合的标准评估的简单扰动可以显着降低模型性能。通过我们的实验，我们证明了当自然运营商应用于评估流行基准的评估集时，模型精度可以降低至多40％。

数据饥饿的深度神经网络已经将自己作为许多NLP任务的标准建立为包括传统序列标记的标准。尽管他们在高资源语言上表现最先进的表现，但它们仍然落后于低资源场景的统计计数器。一个方法来反击攻击此问题是文本增强，即，从现有数据生成新的合成训练数据点。虽然NLP最近目睹了一种文本增强技术的负载，但该领域仍然缺乏对多种语言和序列标记任务的系统性能分析。为了填补这一差距，我们调查了三类文本增强方法，其在语法（例如，裁剪子句子），令牌（例如，随机字插入）和字符（例如，字符交换）级别上执行更改。我们系统地将它们与语音标记，依赖解析和语义角色标记的分组进行了比较，用于使用各种模型的各种语言系列，包括依赖于诸如MBERT的普赖金的多语言语境化语言模型的架构。增强最显着改善了解析，然后是语音标记和语义角色标记的依赖性解析。我们发现实验技术通常在形态上丰富的语言，而不是越南语等分析语言。我们的研究结果表明，增强技术可以进一步改善基于MBERT的强基线。我们将字符级方法标识为最常见的表演者，而同义词替换和语法增强仪提供不一致的改进。最后，我们讨论了最大依赖于任务，语言对和模型类型的结果。

Part of Speech (POS) tagging is crucial to Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is a well-studied topic in several resource-rich languages. However, the development of computational linguistic resources is still in its infancy despite the existence of numerous languages that are historically and literary rich. Assamese, an Indian scheduled language, spoken by more than 25 million people, falls under this category. In this paper, we present a Deep Learning (DL)-based POS tagger for Assamese. The development process is divided into two stages. In the first phase, several pre-trained word embeddings are employed to train several tagging models. This allows us to evaluate the performance of the word embeddings in the POS tagging task. The top-performing model from the first phase is employed to annotate another set of new sentences. In the second phase, the model is trained further using the fresh dataset. Finally, we attain a tagging accuracy of 86.52% in F1 score. The model may serve as a baseline for further study on DL-based Assamese POS tagging.

作为有效的策略，数据增强（DA）减轻了深度学习技术可能失败的数据稀缺方案。它广泛应用于计算机视觉，然后引入自然语言处理并实现了许多任务的改进。DA方法的主要重点之一是提高培训数据的多样性，从而帮助模型更好地推广到看不见的测试数据。在本调查中，我们根据增强数据的多样性，将DA方法框架为三类，包括释义，注释和采样。我们的论文根据上述类别，详细分析了DA方法。此外，我们还在NLP任务中介绍了他们的应用以及挑战。

Winograd架构挑战 - 一套涉及代词参考消歧的双句话，似乎需要使用致辞知识 - 是由2011年的赫克托勒维克斯提出的。到2019年，基于大型预先训练的变压器的一些AI系统基于语言模型和微调这些问题，精度优于90％。在本文中，我们审查了Winograd架构挑战的历史并评估了其重要性。

意图发现是NLP的一项基本任务，它与各种工业应用越来越相关（Quarteroni 2018）。主要的挑战在于需要从投入性话语中识别出新颖的范围。在此，我们提出了Z-Bert-A，这是一种依赖变压器结构的两阶段方法（Vaswani等人，2017; Devlin等人，2018年），用适配器进行了微调（Pfeiffer等，2020），，），等等。最初接受了自然语言推断（NLI）的培训，后来在零射击设置中申请了未知的内部分类。在我们的评估中，我们首先在已知类别的自适应微调后分析模型的质量。其次，我们将其性能铸造意图分类评估为NLI任务。最后，我们在看不见的类别上测试了模型的零射击性能，以表明Z-Bert-A可以通过产生与地面真实者的语义相似（即使不是平等）的意图，如何有效地执行周期发现。我们的实验表明，Z-Bert-A在两个零射击设置中的表现如何超过各种基线：已知意图分类和看不见的意图发现。拟议的管道具有广泛应用于各种客户服务应用程序的潜力。它可以使用轻巧的模型来实现自动化动态分流，该模型与大型语言模型不同，可以轻松地在各种业务场景中进行部署和缩放。尤其是在考虑具有有限的硬件可用性和性能的设置时，必须进行原始或资源云部署低的设置。 Z-Bert-A可以从单一话语中预测新颖的意图，代表了一种创新的意图发现方法，从而使在线一代的新颖意图能够。该管道可作为可安装的Python软件包获得以下链接：https：//github.com/gt4sd/zberta。

当前的语言模型可以产生高质量的文本。他们只是复制他们之前看到的文本，或者他们学习了普遍的语言抽象吗？要取笑这些可能性，我们介绍了乌鸦，这是一套评估生成文本的新颖性，专注于顺序结构（n-gram）和句法结构。我们将这些分析应用于四种神经语言模型（LSTM，变压器，变换器-XL和GPT-2）。对于本地结构 - 例如，单个依赖性 - 模型生成的文本比来自每个模型的测试集的人类生成文本的基线显着不那么新颖。对于大规模结构 - 例如，总句结构 - 模型生成的文本与人生成的基线一样新颖甚至更新颖，但模型仍然有时复制，在某些情况下，在训练集中重复超过1000字超过1,000字的通道。我们还表现了广泛的手动分析，表明GPT-2的新文本通常在形态学和语法中形成良好，但具有合理的语义问题（例如，是自相矛盾）。

深度学习的最新进展，尤其是编码器架构的发明，已大大改善了抽象性摘要系统的性能。尽管大多数研究都集中在书面文件上，但我们观察到过去几年对对话和多方对话的总结越来越兴趣。一个可以可靠地将人类对话的音频或笔录转换为删节版本的系统，该版本在讨论中最重要的一点上可以在各种现实世界中，从商务会议到医疗咨询再到客户都有价值服务电话。本文着重于多党会议的抽象性摘要，对与此任务相关的挑战，数据集和系统进行了调查，并讨论了未来研究的有希望的方向。

命名实体识别是一项信息提取任务，可作为其他自然语言处理任务的预处理步骤，例如机器翻译，信息检索和问题答案。命名实体识别能够识别专有名称以及开放域文本中的时间和数字表达式。对于诸如阿拉伯语，阿姆哈拉语和希伯来语之类的闪族语言，由于这些语言的结构严重变化，指定的实体识别任务更具挑战性。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于双向长期记忆的Amharic命名实体识别系统，并带有条件随机字段层。我们注释了一种新的Amharic命名实体识别数据集（8,070个句子，具有182,691个令牌），并将合成少数群体过度采样技术应用于我们的数据集，以减轻不平衡的分类问题。我们命名的实体识别系统的F_1得分为93％，这是Amharic命名实体识别的新最新结果。

Controllable Text Generation (CTG) is emerging area in the field of natural language generation (NLG). It is regarded as crucial for the development of advanced text generation technologies that are more natural and better meet the specific constraints in practical applications. In recent years, methods using large-scale pre-trained language models (PLMs), in particular the widely used transformer-based PLMs, have become a new paradigm of NLG, allowing generation of more diverse and fluent text. However, due to the lower level of interpretability of deep neural networks, the controllability of these methods need to be guaranteed. To this end, controllable text generation using transformer-based PLMs has become a rapidly growing yet challenging new research hotspot. A diverse range of approaches have emerged in the recent 3-4 years, targeting different CTG tasks which may require different types of controlled constraints. In this paper, we present a systematic critical review on the common tasks, main approaches and evaluation methods in this area. Finally, we discuss the challenges that the field is facing, and put forward various promising future directions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first survey paper to summarize CTG techniques from the perspective of PLMs. We hope it can help researchers in related fields to quickly track the academic frontier, providing them with a landscape of the area and a roadmap for future research.
