Prompt reinforcing for long-term planning of large language models
Hsien-Chin Lin, Benjamin Matthias Ruppik, Carel van Niekerk +6
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in a wide range of natural language processing tasks and can be adapted through prompting. However, they remain subopt…
Text-to-SQL Task-oriented Dialogue Ontology Construction
Renato Vukovic, Carel van Niekerk, Michael Heck +5
Large language models (LLMs) are widely used as general-purpose knowledge sources, but they rely on parametric knowledge, limiting explainability and trustworthiness. In task-orien…
Post-Training Large Language Models via Reinforcement Learning from Self-Feedback
Carel van Niekerk, Renato Vukovic, Benjamin Matthias Ruppik +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) often produce plausible but poorly-calibrated answers, limiting their reliability on reasoning-intensive tasks. We present Reinforcement Learning from…
Emotionally Intelligent Task-oriented Dialogue Systems: Architecture, Representation, and Optimisation
Shutong Feng, Hsien-chin Lin, Nurul Lubis +5
Task-oriented dialogue (ToD) systems are designed to help users achieve specific goals through natural language interaction. While recent advances in large language models (LLMs) h…
Dialogue Ontology Relation Extraction via Constrained Chain-of-Thought Decoding
Renato Vukovic, David Arps, Carel van Niekerk +4
State-of-the-art task-oriented dialogue systems typically rely on task-specific ontologies for fulfilling user queries. The majority of task-oriented dialogue data, such as custome…
A Confidence-based Acquisition Model for Self-supervised Active Learning and Label Correction
Carel van Niekerk, Christian Geishauser, Michael Heck +6
Supervised neural approaches are hindered by their dependence on large, meticulously annotated datasets, a requirement that is particularly cumbersome for sequential tasks. The qua…
