New framework boosts Rhetorical Role Labeling accuracy on hard text examples

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed RISE, a new framework designed to improve the accuracy of Rhetorical Role Labeling (RRL) on challenging text segments. This method operates at inference time, semantically reranking predictions for sentences where the language model shows low confidence. By utilizing the semantic meaning of label names, RISE refines predictions without requiring model retraining, leading to significant performance gains on difficult examples across various domains and language models.

    Semantic Reranking at Inference Time for Hard Examples in Rhetorical Role Labeling

    Rhetorical Role Labeling (RRL) assigns a functional role to each sentence in a document and is widely used in legal, medical, and scientific domains. While language models (LMs) achieve strong average performance, they remain unreliable on hard examples, where prediction confiden…
