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…
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…
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…
Learning from Noisy Labels via Self-Taught On-the-Fly Meta Loss Rescaling
Michael Heck, Christian Geishauser, Nurul Lubis +6
Correct labels are indispensable for training effective machine learning models. However, creating high-quality labels is expensive, and even professionally labeled data contains e…
Local Topology Measures of Contextual Language Model Latent Spaces With Applications to Dialogue Term Extraction
Benjamin Matthias Ruppik, Michael Heck, Carel van Niekerk +5
A common approach for sequence tagging tasks based on contextual word representations is to train a machine learning classifier directly on these embedding vectors. This approach h…
