Does the "most sinfully decadent cake ever" taste good? Answering Yes/No Questions from Figurative Contexts
Geetanjali Rakshit, Jeffrey Flanigan
Figurative language is commonplace in natural language, and while making communication memorable and creative, can be difficult to understand. In this work, we investigate the robu…
Diverse Retrieval-Augmented In-Context Learning for Dialogue State Tracking
Brendan King, Jeffrey Flanigan
There has been significant interest in zero and few-shot learning for dialogue state tracking (DST) due to the high cost of collecting and annotating task-oriented dialogues. Recen…
Dependency Dialogue Acts -- Annotation Scheme and Case Study
Jon Z. Cai, Brendan King, Margaret Perkoff +9
In this paper, we introduce Dependency Dialogue Acts (DDA), a novel framework for capturing the structure of speaker-intentions in multi-party dialogues. DDA combines and adapts fe…
Automatic Identification of Motivation for Code-Switching in Speech Transcripts
Ritu Belani, Jeffrey Flanigan
Code-switching, or switching between languages, occurs for many reasons and has important linguistic, sociological, and cultural implications. Multilingual speakers code-switch for…
Forming Trees with Treeformers
Nilay Patel, Jeffrey Flanigan
Human language is known to exhibit a nested, hierarchical structure, allowing us to form complex sentences out of smaller pieces. However, many state-of-the-art neural networks mod…
DocAMR: Multi-Sentence AMR Representation and Evaluation
Tahira Naseem, Austin Blodgett, Sadhana Kumaravel +7
Despite extensive research on parsing of English sentences into Abstraction Meaning Representation (AMR) graphs, which are compared to gold graphs via the Smatch metric, full-docum…
ASQ: Automatically Generating Question-Answer Pairs using AMRs
Geetanjali Rakshit, Jeffrey Flanigan
We introduce ASQ, a tool to automatically mine questions and answers from a sentence using the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR). Previous work has used question-answer pairs t…
Athena: Constructing Dialogues Dynamically with Discourse Constraints
Vrindavan Harrison, Juraj Juraska, Wen Cui +11
This report describes Athena, a dialogue system for spoken conversation on popular topics and current events. We develop a flexible topic-agnostic approach to dialogue management t…
The Materials Science Procedural Text Corpus: Annotating Materials Synthesis Procedures with Shallow Semantic Structures
Sheshera Mysore, Zach Jensen, Edward Kim +6
Materials science literature contains millions of materials synthesis procedures described in unstructured natural language text. Large-scale analysis of these synthesis procedures…
Toward Abstractive Summarization Using Semantic Representations
Fei Liu, Jeffrey Flanigan, Sam Thomson +2
We present a novel abstractive summarization framework that draws on the recent development of a treebank for the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR). In this framework, the sour…
