Speech Aware Dialog System Technology Challenge (DSTC11)
Hagen Soltau, Izhak Shafran, Mingqiu Wang +6
Most research on task oriented dialog modeling is based on written text input. However, users interact with practical dialog systems often using speech as input. Typically, systems…
AnyTOD: A Programmable Task-Oriented Dialog System
Jeffrey Zhao, Yuan Cao, Raghav Gupta +6
We propose AnyTOD, an end-to-end, zero-shot task-oriented dialog (TOD) system capable of handling unseen tasks without task-specific training. We view TOD as a program executed by…
Knowledge-grounded Dialog State Tracking
Dian Yu, Mingqiu Wang, Yuan Cao +3
Knowledge (including structured knowledge such as schema and ontology, and unstructured knowledge such as web corpus) is a critical part of dialog understanding, especially for uns…
Unsupervised Slot Schema Induction for Task-oriented Dialog
Dian Yu, Mingqiu Wang, Yuan Cao +3
Carefully-designed schemas describing how to collect and annotate dialog corpora are a prerequisite towards building task-oriented dialog systems. In practical applications, manual…
RNN Transducers for Nested Named Entity Recognition with constraints on alignment for long sequences
Hagen Soltau, Izhak Shafran, Mingqiu Wang +1
Popular solutions to Named Entity Recognition (NER) include conditional random fields, sequence-to-sequence models, or utilizing the question-answering framework. However, they are…
