Improving Top-K Decoding for Non-Autoregressive Semantic Parsing via Intent Conditioning

Geunseob Oh, Rahul Goel, Chris Hidey +4

Semantic parsing (SP) is a core component of modern virtual assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. While sequence-to-sequence-based auto-regressive (AR) approaches are…

Resource Constrained Dialog Policy Learning via Differentiable Inductive Logic Programming

Zhenpeng Zhou, Ahmad Beirami, Paul Crook +3

Motivated by the needs of resource constrained dialog policy learning, we introduce dialog policy via differentiable inductive logic (DILOG). We explore the tasks of one-shot learn…

User Memory Reasoning for Conversational Recommendation

Hu Xu, Seungwhan Moon, Honglei Liu +3

We study a conversational recommendation model which dynamically manages users' past (offline) preferences and current (online) requests through a structured and cumulative user me…

Recommendation as a Communication Game: Self-Supervised Bot-Play for Goal-oriented Dialogue

Dongyeop Kang, Anusha Balakrishnan, Pararth Shah +3

Traditional recommendation systems produce static rather than interactive recommendations invariant to a user's specific requests, clarifications, or current mood, and can suffer f…

User Modeling for Task Oriented Dialogues

Izzeddin Gur, Dilek Hakkani-Tur, Gokhan Tur +1

We introduce end-to-end neural network based models for simulating users of task-oriented dialogue systems. User simulation in dialogue systems is crucial from two different perspe…
