Salience-Aware Event Chain Modeling for Narrative Understanding
Xiyang Zhang, Muhao Chen, Jonathan May
Storytelling, whether via fables, news reports, documentaries, or memoirs, can be thought of as the communication of interesting and related events that, taken together, form a con…
Viola: A Topic Agnostic Generate-and-Rank Dialogue System
Hyundong Cho, Basel Shbita, Kartik Shenoy +5
We present Viola, an open-domain dialogue system for spoken conversation that uses a topic-agnostic dialogue manager based on a simple generate-and-rank approach. Leveraging recent…
Luna: Linear Unified Nested Attention
Xuezhe Ma, Xiang Kong, Sinong Wang +4
The quadratic computational and memory complexities of the Transformer's attention mechanism have limited its scalability for modeling long sequences. In this paper, we propose Lun…
X-METRA-ADA: Cross-lingual Meta-Transfer Learning Adaptation to Natural Language Understanding and Question Answering
Meryem M'hamdi, Doo Soon Kim, Franck Dernoncourt +3
Multilingual models, such as M-BERT and XLM-R, have gained increasing popularity, due to their zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning capabilities. However, their generalization…
CaSiNo: A Corpus of Campsite Negotiation Dialogues for Automatic Negotiation Systems
Kushal Chawla, Jaysa Ramirez, Rene Clever +3
Automated systems that negotiate with humans have broad applications in pedagogy and conversational AI. To advance the development of practical negotiation systems, we present CaSi…
Cross-Attention is All You Need: Adapting Pretrained Transformers for Machine Translation
Mozhdeh Gheini, Xiang Ren, Jonathan May
We study the power of cross-attention in the Transformer architecture within the context of transfer learning for machine translation, and extend the findings of studies into cross…
