Resilient Combination of Complementary CNN and RNN Features for Text Classification through Attention and Ensembling

Athanasios Giannakopoulos, Maxime Coriou, Andreea Hossmann +2

State-of-the-art methods for text classification include several distinct steps of pre-processing, feature extraction and post-processing. In this work, we focus on end-to-end neur…

Churn Intent Detection in Multilingual Chatbot Conversations and Social Media

Christian Abbet, Meryem M'hamdi, Athanasios Giannakopoulos +4

We propose a new method to detect when users express the intent to leave a service, also known as churn. While previous work focuses solely on social media, we show that this inten…

Goal-Oriented Chatbot Dialog Management Bootstrapping with Transfer Learning

Vladimir Ilievski, Claudiu Musat, Andreea Hossmann +1

Goal-Oriented (GO) Dialogue Systems, colloquially known as goal oriented chatbots, help users achieve a predefined goal (e.g. book a movie ticket) within a closed domain. A first s…
