TextLearner at SemEval-2020 Task 10: A Contextualized Ranking System in Solving Emphasis Selection in Text

AbstractThis paper describes the emphasis selection system of the team TextLearner for SemEval 2020 Task 10: Emphasis Selection For Written Text in Visual Media. The system aims to learn the emphasis selection distribution using contextual representations extracted from pre-trained language models and a two-staged ranking model. The experimental results demonstrate the strong contextual representation power of the recent advanced transformer-based language model RoBERTa, which can be exploited using a simple but effective architecture on top.
