Dialog Acts for Task-Driven Embodied Agents
Spandana Gella, Aishwarya Padmakumar, Patrick Lange +1
Embodied agents need to be able to interact in natural language understanding task descriptions and asking appropriate follow up questions to obtain necessary information to be eff…
An Empirical Study on Robustness to Spurious Correlations using Pre-trained Language Models
Lifu Tu, Garima Lalwani, Spandana Gella +1
Recent work has shown that pre-trained language models such as BERT improve robustness to spurious correlations in the dataset. Intrigued by these results, we find that the key to…
Words aren't enough, their order matters: On the Robustness of Grounding Visual Referring Expressions
Arjun R Akula, Spandana Gella, Yaser Al-Onaizan +2
Visual referring expression recognition is a challenging task that requires natural language understanding in the context of an image. We critically examine RefCOCOg, a standard be…
Neural Word Decomposition Models for Abusive Language Detection
Sravan Babu Bodapati, Spandana Gella, Kasturi Bhattacharjee +1
User generated text on social media often suffers from a lot of undesired characteristics including hatespeech, abusive language, insults etc. that are targeted to attack or abuse…
Multimodal Abstractive Summarization for How2 Videos
Shruti Palaskar, Jindrich Libovický, Spandana Gella +1
In this paper, we study abstractive summarization for open-domain videos. Unlike the traditional text news summarization, the goal is less to "compress" text information but rather…
Cross-lingual Visual Verb Sense Disambiguation
Spandana Gella, Desmond Elliott, Frank Keller
Recent work has shown that visual context improves cross-lingual sense disambiguation for nouns. We extend this line of work to the more challenging task of cross-lingual verb sens…
