Improving Limited Labeled Dialogue State Tracking with Self-Supervision

Chien-Sheng Wu, Steven Hoi, Caiming Xiong

Existing dialogue state tracking (DST) models require plenty of labeled data. However, collecting high-quality labels is costly, especially when the number of domains increases. In…

Probing Task-Oriented Dialogue Representation from Language Models

Chien-Sheng Wu, Caiming Xiong

This paper investigates pre-trained language models to find out which model intrinsically carries the most informative representation for task-oriented dialogue tasks. We approach…

Discriminative Nearest Neighbor Few-Shot Intent Detection by Transferring Natural Language Inference

Jian-Guo Zhang, Kazuma Hashimoto, Wenhao Liu +5

Intent detection is one of the core components of goal-oriented dialog systems, and detecting out-of-scope (OOS) intents is also a practically important skill. Few-shot learning is…

Discern: Discourse-Aware Entailment Reasoning Network for Conversational Machine Reading

Yifan Gao, Chien-Sheng Wu, Jingjing Li +5

Document interpretation and dialog understanding are the two major challenges for conversational machine reading. In this work, we propose Discern, a discourse-aware entailment rea…

GraPPa: Grammar-Augmented Pre-Training for Table Semantic Parsing

Tao Yu, Chien-Sheng Wu, Xi Victoria Lin +6

We present GraPPa, an effective pre-training approach for table semantic parsing that learns a compositional inductive bias in the joint representations of textual and tabular data…

Explicit Memory Tracker with Coarse-to-Fine Reasoning for Conversational Machine Reading

Yifan Gao, Chien-Sheng Wu, Shafiq Joty +5

The goal of conversational machine reading is to answer user questions given a knowledge base text which may require asking clarification questions. Existing approaches are limited…

A Simple Language Model for Task-Oriented Dialogue

Ehsan Hosseini-Asl, Bryan McCann, Chien-Sheng Wu +2

Task-oriented dialogue is often decomposed into three tasks: understanding user input, deciding actions, and generating a response. While such decomposition might suggest a dedicat…

TOD-BERT: Pre-trained Natural Language Understanding for Task-Oriented Dialogue

Chien-Sheng Wu, Steven Hoi, Richard Socher +1

The underlying difference of linguistic patterns between general text and task-oriented dialogue makes existing pre-trained language models less useful in practice. In this work, w…

Attention over Parameters for Dialogue Systems

Andrea Madotto, Zhaojiang Lin, Chien-Sheng Wu +2

Dialogue systems require a great deal of different but complementary expertise to assist, inform, and entertain humans. For example, different domains (e.g., restaurant reservation…
