Weakly Supervised Data Augmentation Through Prompting for Dialogue Understanding

Maximillian Chen, Alexandros Papangelis, Chenyang Tao +5

Dialogue understanding tasks often necessitate abundant annotated data to achieve good performance and that presents challenges in low-resource settings. To alleviate this barrier,…

CLASP: Few-Shot Cross-Lingual Data Augmentation for Semantic Parsing

Andy Rosenbaum, Saleh Soltan, Wael Hamza +3

A bottleneck to developing Semantic Parsing (SP) models is the need for a large volume of human-labeled training data. Given the complexity and cost of human annotation for SP, lab…

LINGUIST: Language Model Instruction Tuning to Generate Annotated Utterances for Intent Classification and Slot Tagging

Andy Rosenbaum, Saleh Soltan, Wael Hamza +2

We present LINGUIST, a method for generating annotated data for Intent Classification and Slot Tagging (IC+ST), via fine-tuning AlexaTM 5B, a 5-billion-parameter multilingual seque…

AlexaTM 20B: Few-Shot Learning Using a Large-Scale Multilingual Seq2Seq Model

Saleh Soltan, Shankar Ananthakrishnan, Jack FitzGerald +13

In this work, we demonstrate that multilingual large-scale sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models, pre-trained on a mixture of denoising and Causal Language Modeling (CLM) tasks, ar…

Alexa Teacher Model: Pretraining and Distilling Multi-Billion-Parameter Encoders for Natural Language Understanding Systems

Jack FitzGerald, Shankar Ananthakrishnan, Konstantine Arkoudas +38

We present results from a large-scale experiment on pretraining encoders with non-embedding parameter counts ranging from 700M to 9.3B, their subsequent distillation into smaller m…
