New paper in Science today on playing the classic negotiation game "Diplomacy" at a human level, by connecting language models with strategic reasoning! Our agent engages in intense and lengthy dialogues to persuade other players to follow its plans. This was really hard! 1/5

New work on autoregressive language models for retrieval! We train our model, SEAL (Search Engines with Autoregressive LMs) to produce text snippets occurring somewhere in the corpus, in relevant documents. We use the generated ngrams to rank documents in the corpus. Thread 👇

Extractive Entity Disambiguation is our (@edoardo_barba @luigi_proc @RNavigli) new paper at #ACL2022! Guess what, we perform ED as a Text Extraction task using only Wikipedia Titles and achieve a new SotA in standard and constrained data regimes. @ERC_Research #NLProc Links: ⬇️

Help this poor guy finding this out… <3
Hey, #NLProc if I create a library with recent SOTA models for WSD and Entity Linking (implementation and checkpoints). Would you use it?
