A Surprisingly Robust Trick for the Winograd Schema Challenge
TLDR
We show that the performance of three language models on WSC273 strongly improves when fine-tuned on a similar pronoun disambiguation problem dataset (denoted WSCR) and generate a large unsupervised WSC-like dataset. Expand

  • Computer Science
  • IEEE International Conference on Computational…
  • 5 May 2014
TLDR
The paper proposes a framework for in-home physical exercise monitoring based on a Kinect platform with more advanced reporting capabilities on the movement such as: position and trajectory of each joint, the working envelope of each body member, the average velocity, and a measure of the user's fatigue after an exercise sequence.
