Organized by the Association for Computer Linguistics special interest group on linguistic data (SIGDAT), Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing is a prominent conference in the area of Natural Language Processing. The conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing, EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 was held in Hong Kong from November 3 to 7, 2019. NAVER Corporation attended the conference as a gold-level sponsor.
The following papers were accepted at the EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019.
Subword Language Model for Query Auto-Completion | Gyuwan Kim | Subword language model for query auto-completion (QAC) to decode faster while maintaining close accuracy compared to the character language model baseline, and proposing a new evaluation metric for QAC. | arXiv Github |
NL2pSQL: Generating Pseudo-SQL Queries from Under-specified Natural Language Questions | Fuxiang Chen, Seung-won Hwang, Jaegul Choo, Jung-Woo Ha, Sung Kim | A new dataset which has a better performance in managing and generating tables and is more applicable to the general situation than existing NL2SQL | Paper Github |

Minjoon Seo (Clova AI Research) participated in the Machine Reading for Question Answering (MRQA) workshop as a member of the organizing committee. To promote research on MRQA, the workshop sought submissions in two tracks: a research track and a new shared task track. The shared task of the workshop was specifically designed to test how well MRQA systems can generalize to new domains.
