Attribution and Alignment: Effects of Local Context Repetition on Utterance Production and Comprehension in Dialogue
Aron Molnar, Jaap Jumelet, Mario Giulianelli +1
Language models are often used as the backbone of modern dialogue systems. These models are pre-trained on large amounts of written fluent language. Repetition is typically penalis…
Information Value: Measuring Utterance Predictability as Distance from Plausible Alternatives
Mario Giulianelli, Sarenne Wallbridge, Raquel Fernández
We present information value, a measure which quantifies the predictability of an utterance relative to a set of plausible alternatives. We introduce a method to obtain interpretab…
Speaking the Language of Your Listener: Audience-Aware Adaptation via Plug-and-Play Theory of Mind
Ece Takmaz, Nicolo' Brandizzi, Mario Giulianelli +2
Dialogue participants may have varying levels of knowledge about the topic under discussion. In such cases, it is essential for speakers to adapt their utterances by taking their a…
Interpretable Word Sense Representations via Definition Generation: The Case of Semantic Change Analysis
Mario Giulianelli, Iris Luden, Raquel Fernandez +1
We propose using automatically generated natural language definitions of contextualised word usages as interpretable word and word sense representations. Given a collection of usag…
What Comes Next? Evaluating Uncertainty in Neural Text Generators Against Human Production Variability
Mario Giulianelli, Joris Baan, Wilker Aziz +2
In Natural Language Generation (NLG) tasks, for any input, multiple communicative goals are plausible, and any goal can be put into words, or produced, in multiple ways. We charact…
