Studying the Effects of Cognitive Biases in Evaluation of Conversational Agents
Sashank Santhanam, Alireza Karduni, Samira Shaikh
Humans quite frequently interact with conversational agents. The rapid advancement in generative language modeling through neural networks has helped advance the creation of intell…
Natural Language Generation Using Reinforcement Learning with External Rewards
Vidhushini Srinivasan, Sashank Santhanam, Samira Shaikh
We propose an approach towards natural language generation using a bidirectional encoder-decoder which incorporates external rewards through reinforcement learning (RL). We use att…
Emotional Neural Language Generation Grounded in Situational Contexts
Sashank Santhanam, Samira Shaikh
Emotional language generation is one of the keys to human-like artificial intelligence. Humans use different type of emotions depending on the situation of the conversation. Emotio…
Towards Best Experiment Design for Evaluating Dialogue System Output
Sashank Santhanam, Samira Shaikh
To overcome the limitations of automated metrics (e.g. BLEU, METEOR) for evaluating dialogue systems, researchers typically use human judgments to provide convergent evidence. Whil…
A Survey of Natural Language Generation Techniques with a Focus on Dialogue Systems - Past, Present and Future Directions
Sashank Santhanam, Samira Shaikh
One of the hardest problems in the area of Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence is automatically generating language that is coherent and understandable to human…
