Selective Regenerative Decoding: Trajectory-Level Intervention for Inference-Time Reasoning
Sophia Xiao Pu, Yumo Xu, Sailik Sengupta +5
Inference-time decoding methods improve LLM reasoning by exploring multiple candidate trajectories, yet treat each trajectory as atomic: either retaining it whole or discarding it…
MemToolAgent: Leveraging Memory for Tool Using Agents Based on Environment and User Feedback
Suleyman Armagan Er, Danilo Ribeiro, Yogesh Virkar +5
Modern large language model (LLM) agents can use external tools to help users solve complex tasks. However, for problems that require learning from long-term historical events or f…
ConvApparel: A Benchmark Dataset and Validation Framework for User Simulators in Conversational Recommenders
Ofer Meshi, Krisztian Balog, Sally Goldman +5
The promise of LLM-based user simulators to improve conversational AI is hindered by a critical "realism gap," leading to systems that are optimized for simulated interactions, but…
Controllable Conversational Theme Detection Track at DSTC 12
Igor Shalyminov, Hang Su, Jake Vincent +5
Conversational analytics has been on the forefront of transformation driven by the advances in Speech and Natural Language Processing techniques. Rapid adoption of Large Language M…
CONFETTI: Conversational Function-Calling Evaluation Through Turn-Level Interactions
Tamer Alkhouli, Katerina Margatina, James Gung +4
We introduce Conversational Function-Calling Evaluation Through Turn-Level Interactions (CONFETTI), a conversational benchmark1 designed to evaluate the function-calling capabiliti…
Optimizing LLM-Based Multi-Agent System with Textual Feedback: A Case Study on Software Development
Ming Shen, Raphael Shu, Anurag Pratik +4
We have seen remarkable progress in large language models (LLMs) empowered multi-agent systems solving complex tasks necessitating cooperation among experts with diverse skills. Ho…
Structured List-Grounded Question Answering
Mujeen Sung, Song Feng, James Gung +3
Document-grounded dialogue systems aim to answer user queries by leveraging external information. Previous studies have mainly focused on handling free-form documents, often overlo…
DFlow: Diverse Dialogue Flow Simulation with Large Language Models
Wanyu Du, Song Feng, James Gung +4
Developing language model-based dialogue agents requires effective data to train models that can follow specific task logic. However, most existing data simulation methods focus on…
User Simulation with Large Language Models for Evaluating Task-Oriented Dialogue
Sam Davidson, Salvatore Romeo, Raphael Shu +4
One of the major impediments to the development of new task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems is the need for human evaluation at multiple stages and iterations of the development pr…
DiactTOD: Learning Generalizable Latent Dialogue Acts for Controllable Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems
Qingyang Wu, James Gung, Raphael Shu +1
Dialogue act annotations are important to improve response generation quality in task-oriented dialogue systems. However, it can be challenging to use dialogue acts to control resp…
Measuring and Mitigating Constraint Violations of In-Context Learning for Utterance-to-API Semantic Parsing
Shufan Wang, Sebastien Jean, Sailik Sengupta +3
In executable task-oriented semantic parsing, the system aims to translate users' utterances in natural language to machine-interpretable programs (API calls) that can be executed…
NatCS: Eliciting Natural Customer Support Dialogues
James Gung, Emily Moeng, Wesley Rose +3
Despite growing interest in applications based on natural customer support conversations, there exist remarkably few publicly available datasets that reflect the expected character…
Pre-training Intent-Aware Encoders for Zero- and Few-Shot Intent Classification
Mujeen Sung, James Gung, Elman Mansimov +5
Intent classification (IC) plays an important role in task-oriented dialogue systems. However, IC models often generalize poorly when training without sufficient annotated examples…
Intent Induction from Conversations for Task-Oriented Dialogue Track at DSTC 11
James Gung, Raphael Shu, Emily Moeng +6
With increasing demand for and adoption of virtual assistants, recent work has investigated ways to accelerate bot schema design through the automatic induction of intents or the i…
