Improving negation detection with negation-focused pre-training
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Negation is a common linguistic feature that is crucial in many language understanding tasks, yet it remains a hard problem due to diversity in its expression in different types of text. ...
Extensive experiments on common benchmarks show that our proposed approach improves negation detection performance and generalizability over the strong baseline NegBERT (Khandewal and Sawant, 2020). ...
