Grounded Conversation Generation as Guided Traverses in Commonsense Knowledge Graphs

Houyu Zhang, Zhenghao Liu, Chenyan Xiong +1

Human conversations naturally evolve around related concepts and scatter to multi-hop concepts. This paper presents a new conversation generation model, ConceptFlow, which leverage…

An Axiomatic Approach to Regularizing Neural Ranking Models

Corby Rosset, Bhaskar Mitra, Chenyan Xiong +3

Axiomatic information retrieval (IR) seeks a set of principle properties desirable in IR models. These properties when formally expressed provide guidance in the search for better…
