VLUE: A New Benchmark and Multi-task Knowledge Transfer Learning for Vietnamese Natural Language Understanding
VLUE: A New Benchmark and Multi-task Knowledge Transfer Learning for Vietnamese Natural Language Understanding

Phong Nguyen-Thuan Do, Son Quoc Tran, Phu Gia Hoang, Kiet Van Nguyen, Ngan Luu-Thuy Nguyen

Findings of North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) 2024

We introduce VLUE, the first standardized Vietnamese NLU benchmark spanning five tasks and evaluate seven SOTA models on it. Our model CafeBERT, a Vietnamese-adapted version of XLM-R, sets a new state-of-the-art across all VLUE tasks and is released for public research use.

Phu Gia Hoang, Le Thanh, Hai-Long Trieu

International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval) 2023

We enhanced fine-grained NER performance for English and Bangla in SemEval-2023 by augmenting limited training data using BabelNet and Wikipedia redirections, and training mDeBERTa models on this enriched data. Our approach significantly outperformed baseline systems, achieving notable macro-F1 improvements in both languages.

Neural Computing and Applications Journal 2023

An end-to-end Vietnamese hate speech detection system combining PhoBERT with Text-CNN, enhanced by tailored preprocessing and data augmentation. Our model achieves state-of-the-art results on benchmark datasets and is deployed in a real-time streaming application, demonstrating both high performance and practical utility.

Phu Gia Hoang, Luan Thanh Nguyen, Kiet Nguyen

International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval) 2021

To tackle toxic language detection in SemEval-2021 Task 5, we explored both NER and QA-based approaches. Our spaCy-based NER model achieved the best F1-score of 66.99% in identifying toxic spans from text.
