Grounding Visual Illusions in Language: Do Vision-Language Models Perceive Illusions Like Humans?

Yichi Zhang, Jiayi Pan, Yuchen Zhou +2

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are trained on vast amounts of data captured by humans emulating our understanding of the world. However, known as visual illusions, human's perceptio…

Task-Oriented Dialog Systems that Consider Multiple Appropriate Responses under the Same Context

Yichi Zhang, Zhijian Ou, Zhou Yu

Conversations have an intrinsic one-to-many property, which means that multiple responses can be appropriate for the same dialog context. In task-oriented dialogs, this property le…

Alternating Recurrent Dialog Model with Large-scale Pre-trained Language Models

Qingyang Wu, Yichi Zhang, Yu Li +1

Existing dialog system models require extensive human annotations and are difficult to generalize to different tasks. The recent success of large pre-trained language models such a…

Elastic CRFs for Open-ontology Slot Filling

Yinpei Dai, Yichi Zhang, Hong Liu +3

Slot filling is a crucial component in task-oriented dialog systems that is used to parse (user) utterances into semantic concepts called slots. An ontology is defined by the colle…

Learning Sparse Structured Ensembles with SG-MCMC and Network Pruning

Yichi Zhang, Zhijian Ou

An ensemble of neural networks is known to be more robust and accurate than an individual network, however usually with linearly-increased cost in both training and testing. In thi…
