Concept2Text NLG models generate from at best semi-struct input; can we use gold+model output to steer better? Our #INLG2021 work finds 2 model-agnostic ways: KW expands input via gold refs, P2T via "self-introspecting" on own output @stevenyfeng #NLProc tinyurl.com/sapphireNL

Glad to see our work getting attention! Look out for the camera-ready version next week :) BTW, we have also created a corresponding GitHub repo that will be updated with new data augmentation work over time:

Data augmentation is useful in machine learning as more needs for increasing data diversity emerge. It's nice to see this recent survey paper summarizing the latest data augmentation approaches for NLP. A must-read for ML/NLP students and practitioners. arxiv.org/abs/2105.03075

Yesterday I gave a lecture at @Stanford's CS25 class on Transformers! The lecture was on how “emergent abilities” are unlocked by scaling up language models. Emergence is one of the most exciting phenomena in large LMs… Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d…
