用关键词分块技术提升长文档理解效率,减少信息丢失。

ChuLo: Chunk-Level Key Information Representation for Long Document Understanding

  • 基于关键词提取自动分块,保留关键语义内容
  • 在长文档分类与标注任务中显著提升效果
  • 适合需要完整上下文的精细文本分析场景

基于Transformer的模型在自然语言处理任务中表现卓越,但处理长文档时受计算限制。传统方法如截断输入、稀疏自注意力和分块处理常导致信息损失,削弱长距离依赖捕捉能力。本文提出ChuLo,一种新型分块表示方法,通过无监督关键词提取对输入标记分组,聚焦语义重要关键词块,保留核心文档内容的同时减少输入长度。该方法有效降低信息丢失,提升Transformer模型效率。在多个长文档分类与标记任务上进行评估,结果表明其在定性与定量分析中均具优势。代码已开源:https://github.com/adlnlp/Chulo。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Transformer-based models have achieved remarkable success in various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, yet their ability to handle long documents is constrained by computational limitations. Traditional approaches, such as truncating inputs, sparse self-attention, and chunking, attempt to mitigate these issues, but they often lead to information loss and hinder the model's ability to capture long-range dependencies. In this paper, we introduce ChuLo, a novel chunk representation method for long document understanding that addresses these limitations. Our ChuLo groups input tokens using unsupervised keyphrase extraction, emphasizing semantically important keyphrase based chunks to retain core document content while reducing input length. This approach minimizes information loss and improves the efficiency of Transformer-based models. Preserving all tokens in long document understanding, especially token classification tasks, is important to ensure that fine-grained annotations, which depend on the entire sequence context, are not lost. We evaluate our method on multiple long document classification tasks and long document token classification tasks, demonstrating its effectiveness through comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis. Our implementation is open-sourced on https://github.com/adlnlp/Chulo.
