  2. • ‘Good’ data augmentation: – Fidelity = preserve the original

    meaning – Diversity = increase lexical/syntactical variation • Existing work of paraphrasing is basically fidelity-based and word-level • This work proposed a way to take diversity into account 2 (Kumar+, ’19) Overview ⇤2 † Manik Bhandari1 Partha Talukdar1 ence, Bangalore, India gy and Science, Pilani, India 55, mbbhandarimanik}@gmail.com SOURCE – how do i increase body height ? REFERENCE – what do i do to increase my height ? BEAM SEARCH – how do i increase my height ? – how do i increase my body height ? – how do i increase the height ? – how would i increase my body height ? DIPS (OURS) – how could i increase my height ? – what should i do to increase my height ? – what are the fastest ways to increase my height ? – is there any proven method to increase height ? Table 1: Sample paraphrases generated by beam search and DiPS (our method). DiPS offers lexically diverse paraphrases without compromising on fidelity.
  3. • This work adopts a seq2seq-based paraphrasing model • The

    decoder uses a diversity-aware function to choose a good subset of candidates (instead of standard beam search algorithms) • To make it mathematically possible, the function is implemented as a submodular function 4 Proposed method Proposed method Subset Selection how do i increase my … how can i decrease the … how can i grow the … what ways exist to increase … how would I increase the … how do I decrease the … i am 17 , what … are there ways to increase … Vt how do i increase my … how can i grow the … what ways exist to increase … are there ways to increase … X argmaxX⊆Vt, |X|= k F(X) k

  8. • Functions that take a set as the argument and

    hold diminishing returns property • ‘You have more to gain from something new, if you have less to begin with’ • Useful for economics, networks, machine learning – See this slide for more introduction 10 A bit mathematics Submodular functions Sub-modularity # Items = 4 F = 2 # Items = 4 + 1 F = 2 + 1 # Items = 5 + 1 F = 3 + 0 Diminishing Returns F = # Unique Coloured items
  9. • The authors implement fidelity and diversity as submodular functions

    of paraphrase candidate selection – i.e., functions introduced earlier • They are formed as the optimisation problem – There is an efficient algorithm (the left list) to solve maximisation problems of submodular functions if the functions also meet monotonicity 11 A bit mathematics Usage of submod. f.

However, they are in- herently restrictive in terms of the diversity they can offer. Our work offers a data-augmentation scheme via high quality paraphrases.

  10. • To check fidelity, this work measures BLEU (, METEOR,

    and TER+) of generated paraphrases against reference paraphrases • For diversity, the count of unique 1-4 grams in generated paraphrases is measured • The result looks better than baselines – though I doubt BLEU works well with diverse paraphrases 13 Experimental results Intrinsic evaluation Fidelity & Diversity (Quora Dataset) 27 30 33 36 SBS DBS VAE-SVG DPP SSR DiPS (Ours) BLEU (Fidelity) 30 39 48 57 66 Models SBS DBS VAE-SVG DPP SSR DiPS (Ours) 4-Distinct (Diversity) IUUQTXXXLBHHMFDPNDRVPSBRVFTUJPOQBJST

    by the proposed method • Two simple models are used – LogReg = Logistic regression with simple features – LSTM = 1-layer LSTM • No information about how much data was augmented (!) 14 Experimental results Extrinsic evaluation Data Augmentation for Intent Classification Dataset : SNIPS Accuracy 93 94 95 96 97 98 Models No. Aug SBS DBS Syn.
