Emotion-cause pair extraction (ECPE) is a new task which aims at extracting the potential clause pairs of emotions and corresponding causes in a document. To tackle this task, a two-step method was proposed by previous study which first extracted emotion clauses and cause clauses individually, then paired the emotion and cause clauses, and filtered out the pairs without causality. Different from this method that separated the detection and the matching of emotion and cause into two steps, we propose a Symmetric Local Search Network (SLSN) model to perform the detection and matching simultaneously by local search. SLSN consists of two symmetric subnetworks, namely the emotion subnetwork and the cause subnetwork. Each subnetwork is composed of a clause representation learner and a local pair searcher. The local pair searcher is a specially-designed cross-subnetwork component which can extract the local emotion-cause pairs. Experimental results on the ECPE corpus demonstrate the superiority of our SLSN over existing state-of-the-art methods.
In this study, yttrium iron garnet co‐doped with Zn and Zr atoms with a chemical formula Y3ZnxZrxFe(5−2x)O12 (x = 0.0‐0.3) has been successfully prepared by the solid‐state reaction method. The effects of doping concentration on the microstructure, crystal structure, magnetic properties, and dielectric properties of Y3ZnxZrxFe(5−2x)O12 were investigated. The microstructure analysis indicates that co‐doping of YIG with Zn and Zr can effectively reduce the grain size of the ceramic. The crystal structure results reveal that the doping concentration of Zn–Zr has substantial influence on the lattice parameters of YIG, such as, increases the lattice constant, crystal cell size, and interplanar spacing. However, the second phase of ZrO2 appears once x ≥ 0.15. Additionally, the dielectric properties of YIG ferrite can be regulated using this Zn–Zr co‐doping method. Zn–Zr co‐doping can improve the dielectric stability and reduce the dielectric loss at high temperature. The magnetization measurement shows that the saturation magnetization is stabilized at x < 0.15, and the magnetic loss is decreased with the increase in the doping concentration. Overall, the findings show that the ceramic with x = 0.1 exhibits better properties included high saturation magnetization (24.607 emu/g), low magnetic loss (0.0025 @ 1 MHz), and relatively low dielectric loss (496 @ 400°C).
Emotion-cause pair extraction (ECPE) is a recently proposed task that aims to extract the potential clause pairs of emotions and its corresponding causes in a document. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for the ECPE task. We cast the task as a two-turn machine reading comprehension (MRC) task, i.e., the extraction of emotions and causes is transformed to the task of identifying answer clauses from the input document specific to a query. This two-turn MRC formalization brings several key advantages: firstly, the QA manner provides an explicit pairing way to identify causes specific to the target emotion; secondly, it provides a natural way of jointly modeling the emotion extraction, the cause extraction, and the pairing of emotion and cause; and thirdly, it allows us to exploit the well developed MRC models. Based on the two-turn MRC formalization, we propose a dual-MRC framework to extract emotion-cause pairs in a dual-direction way, which enables a more comprehensive coverage of all pairing cases. Furthermore, we propose a consistent training strategy for the second-turn query, so that the model is able to filter the errors produced by the first turn at inference. Experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms previous methods and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
