Abstract
  • Most tasks in natural language processing (NLP) involves structured information from both input (e.g., a sentence or a paragraph) and output (e.g., a tag sequence, a parse tree or a translated sentence). While neural models achieve great successes in other domains such as computer vision, applying those frameworks to NLP remains challenging for the following reasons. On the source side, we are dealing with input sentences with very complex structures. A simple local swap between two adjacent words could lead to opposite meanings. In addition, input sentences are often noisy as they are collected from real-world scenarios, e.g. online reviews or tweets. Our models need to be able to deal with syntactic variety and polysemy. On the target side, we are often expected to generate structured outputs like translated sentences or parse trees, by searching over an exponentially large search space. In this case, when exact search is intractable, we resort to inexact search methods such as beam search. In this thesis, we start by introducing several classification algorithms with structured information from the source side but unstructured outputs (sentence level classifications, e.g., sentiment analysis). Then we explore models which generate structured output from the unstructured input signal (e.g., image captioning). Finally, we investigate more complex frameworks that deal with structured information on both input and output sides (e.g., machine translation).
