Natural language processing
Beginning with the basic issues of NLP, this chapter aims to chart the major research activities in this area since the last ARIST Chapter in 1996 (Haas, 1996), including: (i) natural language text processing systems - text summarization, information extraction, information retrieval, etc., including domain-specific applications; (ii) natural language interfaces; (iii) NLP in the context of www and digital libraries ; and (iv) evaluation of NLP systems
The scholarly impact of TRECVid (2003-2009)
This paper reports on an investigation into the scholarly impact of the TRECVid (TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation) benchmarking conferences between 2003 and 2009. The contribution of TRECVid to research in video retrieval is assessed by analyzing publication content to show the development of techniques and approaches over time and by analyzing publication impact through publication numbers and citation analysis. Popular conference and journal venues for TRECVid publications are identified in terms of number of citations received. For a selection of participants at different career stages, the relative importance of TRECVid publications in terms of citations vis a vis their other publications is investigated. TRECVid, as an evaluation conference, provides data on which research teams âscoredâ highly against the evaluation criteria and the relationship between âtop scoringâ teams at TRECVid and the âtop scoringâ papers in terms of citations is analysed. A strong relationship was found between âsuccessâ at TRECVid and âsuccessâ at citations both for high scoring and low scoring teams. The implications of the study in terms of the value of TRECVid as a research activity, and the value of bibliometric analysis as a research evaluation tool, are discussed
Machine Learning of Generic and User-Focused Summarization
A key problem in text summarization is finding a salience function which
determines what information in the source should be included in the summary.
This paper describes the use of machine learning on a training corpus of
documents and their abstracts to discover salience functions which describe
what combination of features is optimal for a given summarization task. The
method addresses both "generic" and user-focused summaries.Comment: In Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Conference on AI (AAAI-98),

A Survey of GPT-3 Family Large Language Models Including ChatGPT and GPT-4
Large language models (LLMs) are a special class of pretrained language
models obtained by scaling model size, pretraining corpus and computation.
LLMs, because of their large size and pretraining on large volumes of text
data, exhibit special abilities which allow them to achieve remarkable
performances without any task-specific training in many of the natural language
processing tasks. The era of LLMs started with OpenAI GPT-3 model, and the
popularity of LLMs is increasing exponentially after the introduction of models
like ChatGPT and GPT4. We refer to GPT-3 and its successor OpenAI models,
including ChatGPT and GPT4, as GPT-3 family large language models (GLLMs). With
the ever-rising popularity of GLLMs, especially in the research community,
there is a strong need for a comprehensive survey which summarizes the recent
research progress in multiple dimensions and can guide the research community
with insightful future research directions. We start the survey paper with
foundation concepts like transformers, transfer learning, self-supervised
learning, pretrained language models and large language models. We then present
a brief overview of GLLMs and discuss the performances of GLLMs in various
downstream tasks, specific domains and multiple languages. We also discuss the
data labelling and data augmentation abilities of GLLMs, the robustness of
GLLMs, the effectiveness of GLLMs as evaluators, and finally, conclude with
multiple insightful future research directions. To summarize, this
comprehensive survey paper will serve as a good resource for both academic and
industry people to stay updated with the latest research related to GPT-3
family large language models.Comment: Preprint under review, 58 page
