## Welcome to NAACL 2022!
The Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) is taking place July 10-15, 2022 as a hybrid event, in Seattle, WA and online. We are happy to welcome all of you to conference! 
 
The main conference program features oral presentations, in-person and virtual posters and demo sessions, a plenary session for our best paper presentations and awards, keynote presentations, a plenary panel on the place of linguistics and symbolic structures in NLP, and an Industrial Track panel on Careers in NLP.
 
Posters (including Findings of NAACL 2022) and demos are grouped by areas for both the in-person and the virtual sessions. For the virtual component, the talks will be on Zoom and the posters and the demos will be in GatherTown. The Student Research Workshop and will have an oral session and a poster session.
 
The program also features 6 Tutorials and 26 Workshops.
 
 We wish you a wonderful conference!

2022 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics

Generative dialogue models suffer badly from the generic response problem, limiting
their applications to a few toy scenarios. Recently, an interesting approach, namely
negative training, has been proposed to alleviate this problem by reminding the model
not to gener- ate high-frequency responses during training. However, its performance is hindered by two issues, ignoring low-frequency but generic responses and bringing low-frequency but meaningless responses. In this paper, we propose a novel negative training paradigm, called nega- tive distillation, to keep the model away from the
undesirable generic responses while avoiding the above problems. First, we introduce a negative teacher model that can produce query- wise generic responses, and then
the student model is required to maximize the distance with multi-level negative
knowledge. Em- pirical results show that our method outperforms previous negative
training methods significantly.

Diversifying Neural Dialogue Generation via Negative Distillation

Document Information Extraction (DIE) has attracted increasing attention due to its various advanced applications in the real world. Although recent literature has already achieved competitive results, these approaches usually fail when dealing with complex documents with noisy OCR results or mutative layouts. We proposes Generative Multi-modal Network (GMN) for real-world scenarios to address these problems, which is a robust multi-modal generation method without predefined label categories. With the carefully designed spatial encoder and modal-aware mask module, GMN can deal with complex documents that are hard to serialized into sequential order. Moreover, GMN tolerates errors in OCR results and requires no character-level annotation, which is vital because fine-grained annotation of numerous documents is laborious and even requires annotators with specialized domain knowledge.

GMN: Generative Multi-modal Network for Practical Document Information Extraction

We propose a novel framework ConceptX, to analyze how latent concepts are encoded in representations learned within pre-trained language models. It uses clustering to discover the encoded concepts and explains them by aligning with a large set of human-defined concepts. Our analysis on seven transformer language models reveal interesting insights: i) the latent space within the learned representations overlap with different linguistic concepts to a varying degree, ii) the lower layers in the model are dominated by lexical concepts (e.g., affixation), whereas the core-linguistic concepts (e.g., morphological or syntactic relations) are better represented in the middle and higher layers, iii) some encoded concepts are multi-faceted and cannot be adequately explained using the existing human-defined concepts.

Analyzing Encoded Concepts in Transformer Language Models

The presentation is to introduce our paper "Nearest Neighbor Knowledge Distillation for Neural Machine Translation".
