Intelligent Assistant Language Understanding On Device
Cecilia Aas, Hisham Abdelsalam, Irina Belousova +20
It has recently become feasible to run personal digital assistants on phones and other personal devices. In this paper we describe a design for a natural language understanding sys…
A Generative Model for Joint Natural Language Understanding and Generation
Bo-Hsiang Tseng, Jianpeng Cheng, Yimai Fang +1
Natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG) are two fundamental and related tasks in building task-oriented dialogue systems with opposite objectives…
Building a Neural Semantic Parser from a Domain Ontology
Jianpeng Cheng, Siva Reddy, Mirella Lapata
Semantic parsing is the task of converting natural language utterances into machine interpretable meaning representations which can be executed against a real-world environment suc…
Dependency Grammar Induction with a Neural Variational Transition-based Parser
Bowen Li, Jianpeng Cheng, Yang Liu +1
Dependency grammar induction is the task of learning dependency syntax without annotated training data. Traditional graph-based models with global inference achieve state-of-the-ar…
Weakly-supervised Neural Semantic Parsing with a Generative Ranker
Jianpeng Cheng, Mirella Lapata
Weakly-supervised semantic parsers are trained on utterance-denotation pairs, treating logical forms as latent. The task is challenging due to the large search space and spuriousne…
