Through a comprehensive series of experiments and\nin-depth error analysis, we show that transfer learning via parameter\ninitialization and multi-task learning via parameter sharing can help a neural\nclassification model generalize over a highly skewed distribution of relations.\nFurther, we demonstrate how dual annotation with two distinct sets of relations\nover the same set of compounds can be exploited to improve the overall accuracy\nof a neural classifier and its F1 scores on the less frequent, but more\ndifficult relations.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.06748v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.06748v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"transfer-and-multi-task-learning-for-noun","repo_url":"https://github.com/ltgoslo/fun-nom","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification-1","task_name":"Classification"},{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"},{"task_slug":"multi-task-learning","task_name":"Multi-Task Learning"},{"task_slug":"transfer-learning","task_name":"Transfer Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"noun-ainoun-compound-dataset","name":"Noun-Noun Compound Dataset","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
