Excited to share our work in collaboration with @whi_rl! We propose a multi-agent RL technique to improve generalization across scenarios where the types and quantities of agents change by "imagining" sub-scenarios. arxiv.org/abs/2006.04222

Is multi-task learning useful in NLP? Our (@shalabusc) extensive empirical study appearing at @coling2018 suggests so, at least half of the time for sequence tagging tasks. arxiv.org/abs/1808.04151
