CURI: A Benchmark for Productive Concept Learning Under Uncertainty
Ramakrishna Vedantam, Arthur Szlam, Maximilian Nickel +2
Humans can learn and reason under substantial uncertainty in a space of infinitely many concepts, including structured relational concepts ("a scene with objects that have the same…
Deploying Lifelong Open-Domain Dialogue Learning
Kurt Shuster, Jack Urbanek, Emily Dinan +2
Much of NLP research has focused on crowdsourced static datasets and the supervised learning paradigm of training once and then evaluating test performance. As argued in de Vries e…
Open-Domain Conversational Agents: Current Progress, Open Problems, and Future Directions
Stephen Roller, Y-Lan Boureau, Jason Weston +13
We present our view of what is necessary to build an engaging open-domain conversational agent: covering the qualities of such an agent, the pieces of the puzzle that have been bui…
Fast Adaptation via Policy-Dynamics Value Functions
Roberta Raileanu, Max Goldstein, Arthur Szlam +1
Standard RL algorithms assume fixed environment dynamics and require a significant amount of interaction to adapt to new environments. We introduce Policy-Dynamics Value Functions…
Empirically Verifying Hypotheses Using Reinforcement Learning
Kenneth Marino, Rob Fergus, Arthur Szlam +1
This paper formulates hypothesis verification as an RL problem. Specifically, we aim to build an agent that, given a hypothesis about the dynamics of the world, can take actions to…
Residual Energy-Based Models for Text Generation
Yuntian Deng, Anton Bakhtin, Myle Ott +2
Text generation is ubiquitous in many NLP tasks, from summarization, to dialogue and machine translation. The dominant parametric approach is based on locally normalized models whi…
