Can You be More Social? Injecting Politeness and Positivity into Task-Oriented Conversational Agents
Yi-Chia Wang, Alexandros Papangelis, Runze Wang +3
Goal-oriented conversational agents are becoming prevalent in our daily lives. For these systems to engage users and achieve their goals, they need to exhibit appropriate social be…
LRTA: A Transparent Neural-Symbolic Reasoning Framework with Modular Supervision for Visual Question Answering
Weixin Liang, Feiyang Niu, Aishwarya Reganti +2
The predominant approach to visual question answering (VQA) relies on encoding the image and question with a "black-box" neural encoder and decoding a single token as the answer li…
Language Model is All You Need: Natural Language Understanding as Question Answering
Mahdi Namazifar, Alexandros Papangelis, Gokhan Tur +1
Different flavors of transfer learning have shown tremendous impact in advancing research and applications of machine learning. In this work we study the use of a specific family o…
Warped Language Models for Noise Robust Language Understanding
Mahdi Namazifar, Gokhan Tur, Dilek Hakkani Tür
Masked Language Models (MLM) are self-supervised neural networks trained to fill in the blanks in a given sentence with masked tokens. Despite the tremendous success of MLMs for va…
Improving Embedding Extraction for Speaker Verification with Ladder Network
Fei Tao, Gokhan Tur
Speaker verification is an established yet challenging task in speech processing and a very vibrant research area. Recent speaker verification (SV) systems rely on deep neural netw…
Multi-Task Siamese Neural Network for Improving Replay Attack Detection
Patrick von Platen, Fei Tao, Gokhan Tur
Automatic speaker verification systems are vulnerable to audio replay attacks which bypass security by replaying recordings of authorized speakers. Replay attack detection (RA) det…
