The original model compensates by adding sinusoidal encodings of absolute positions to its inputs. Shaw, Uszkoreit and Vaswani instead build order information directly into self-attention. They treat the input as a… 2. **[Improving Compositional Generalization with Latent Structure and Data Augmentation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qiu-2022-improving-compositional-generalization-latent-structure/)** *(2022 · 76 citations)* Pre-trained sequence-to-sequence models such as T5 cope well with natural language variation. However, they often fail when test inputs combine familiar elements in unseen ways. Specialized models with discrete latent structure handle such compositions better, but their gains have mostly been limited to synthetic… ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ashish Vaswani](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ashish-vaswani/) - [Jakob Uszkoreit](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jakob-uszkoreit/) - [Kristina Toutanova](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kristina-toutanova/) - [Linlu Qiu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/linlu-qiu/) - [Panupong Pasupat](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/panupong-pasupat/) - [Pawel Nowak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pawel-nowak/) - [Tal Linzen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tal-linzen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/) ×2: [NAACL 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2022/), [NAACL 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2018/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 467 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [44 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peter-shaw/cited-by/).
