Analyzing the Limits of Self-Supervision in Handling Bias in Language
Lisa Bauer, Karthik Gopalakrishnan, Spandana Gella +3
Prompting inputs with natural language task descriptions has emerged as a popular mechanism to elicit reasonably accurate outputs from large-scale generative language models with l…
Think Before You Speak: Explicitly Generating Implicit Commonsense Knowledge for Response Generation
Pei Zhou, Karthik Gopalakrishnan, Behnam Hedayatnia +5
Implicit knowledge, such as common sense, is key to fluid human conversations. Current neural response generation (RG) models are trained to generate responses directly, omitting u…
"How Robust r u?": Evaluating Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems on Spoken Conversations
Seokhwan Kim, Yang Liu, Di Jin +4
Most prior work in dialogue modeling has been on written conversations mostly because of existing data sets. However, written dialogues are not sufficient to fully capture the natu…
Commonsense-Focused Dialogues for Response Generation: An Empirical Study
Pei Zhou, Karthik Gopalakrishnan, Behnam Hedayatnia +5
Smooth and effective communication requires the ability to perform latent or explicit commonsense inference. Prior commonsense reasoning benchmarks (such as SocialIQA and Commonsen…
Generative Conversational Networks
Alexandros Papangelis, Karthik Gopalakrishnan, Aishwarya Padmakumar +3
Inspired by recent work in meta-learning and generative teaching networks, we propose a framework called Generative Conversational Networks, in which conversational agents learn to…
Go Beyond Plain Fine-tuning: Improving Pretrained Models for Social Commonsense
Ting-Yun Chang, Yang Liu, Karthik Gopalakrishnan +3
Pretrained language models have demonstrated outstanding performance in many NLP tasks recently. However, their social intelligence, which requires commonsense reasoning about the…
Incorporating Commonsense Knowledge Graph in Pretrained Models for Social Commonsense Tasks
Ting-Yun Chang, Yang Liu, Karthik Gopalakrishnan +3
Pretrained language models have excelled at many NLP tasks recently; however, their social intelligence is still unsatisfactory. To enable this, machines need to have a more genera…
VISITRON: Visual Semantics-Aligned Interactively Trained Object-Navigator
Ayush Shrivastava, Karthik Gopalakrishnan, Yang Liu +4
Interactive robots navigating photo-realistic environments need to be trained to effectively leverage and handle the dynamic nature of dialogue in addition to the challenges underl…
Beyond Domain APIs: Task-oriented Conversational Modeling with Unstructured Knowledge Access Track in DSTC9
Seokhwan Kim, Mihail Eric, Behnam Hedayatnia +4
Most prior work on task-oriented dialogue systems are restricted to a limited coverage of domain APIs, while users oftentimes have domain related requests that are not covered by t…
