Research from Samsung Research will be presented in the oral and poster sessions of the 2018 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP 2018). One of the top-tier conferences in natural language processing, EMNLP is organized by the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). First held in 1996, this year will be its 23rd and will be held in Brussels, Belgium from November 2 to 4, 2018. Last year, the acceptance rates of long and short papers were 26% and 18%, respectively.

Accepted Papers

This paper proposes a novel memory-augmented deep neural network architecture with skip connections to handle long-range dependency in reading comprehension tasks, as well as an expanded GRU architecture with dense connections that compensate potential information distortion occurring in the memory.

Sathish Indurthi, Seunghak Yu, Seohyun Back and Heriberto Cuayáhuitl

This paper presents a novel neural-based architecture that can extract relevant regions, based on a given question-document pair and subsequently generate a well-formed answer.

Iryna Haponchyk, Antonio Uva, Seunghak Yu, Olga Uryupina and Alessandro Moschitti

This paper proposes a model for automatic clustering of questions into user intents using semantic classifiers, along with a novel idea of supervised clustering methods based on a structured output.
