AcTED: Automatic Acquisition of Typical Event Duration for Semi-supervised Temporal Commonsense QA

arXiv:2403.18504v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a voting-driven semi-supervised approach to automatically acquire the typical duration of an event and use it as pseudo-labeled data. The human evaluation demonstrates that our pseudo labels exhibit surprisingly high accuracy and balanced coverage. In the temporal commonsense QA task, experimental results show that using only pseudo examples of 400 events, we achieve performance comparable to the existing BERT-based weakly supervised approaches that require a significant amount of training examples. When compared to …
