The success of interactive dialog systems is usually associated with the quality of the spoken language understanding (SLU) task, which mainly identifies the corresponding dialog acts and slot values in each turn. By treating utterances in…
Proactively and naturally guiding the dialog from the non-recommendation context (e.g., Chit-chat) to the recommendation scenario (e.g., Music) is crucial for the Conversational Recommender System (CRS). Prior studies mainly focus on…
Hate speech poses a serious threat to social cohesion and individual well-being, particularly on social media, where it spreads rapidly. While research on hate speech detection has progressed, it remains largely focused on English,…
To advance the development of science and technology, research proposals are submitted to open-court competitive programs developed by government agencies (e.g., NSF). Proposal classification is one of the most important tasks to achieve…
Automatic Pronunciation Assessment (APA) plays a vital role in Computer-assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) when evaluating a second language (L2) learner's speaking proficiency. However, an apparent downside of most de facto methods is…
Online social platforms provide a bustling arena for information-sharing and for multi-party discussions. Various frameworks for dialogic discourse parsing were developed and used for the processing of discussions and for predicting the…
Classifying the general intent of the user utterance in a conversation, also known as Dialogue Act (DA), e.g., open-ended question, statement of opinion, or request for an opinion, is a key step in Natural Language Understanding (NLU) for…
We present a new neural architecture for wide-coverage Natural Language Understanding in Spoken Dialogue Systems. We develop a hierarchical multi-task architecture, which delivers a multi-layer representation of sentence meaning (i.e.,…
Safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving require robust 3D environment perception algorithms capable of handling diverse and ambiguous surroundings. The predictive performance of classification models is heavily influenced by…
Detecting emotions expressed in text has become critical to a range of fields. In this work, we investigate ways to exploit label correlations in multi-label emotion recognition models to improve emotion detection. First, we develop two…
ISO 24617-2, the standard for dialog act annotation, defines a hierarchically organized set of general-purpose communicative functions. The automatic recognition of these functions, although practically unexplored, is relevant for a dialog…
Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Machine Learning (ML) have not been exploited to their maximum potential in the legal domain. This has been partially due to the insufficient explanations they provided about their decisions.…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in handling complex dialogue tasks without requiring use case-specific fine-tuning. However, analyzing live dialogues in real-time necessitates low-latency processing…
Implicit discourse relation recognition involves determining relationships that hold between spans of text that are not linked by an explicit discourse connective. In recent years, the pre-train, prompt, and predict paradigm has emerged as…
Success of deep learning techniques have renewed the interest in development of dialogue systems. However, current systems struggle to have consistent long term conversations with the users and fail to build rapport. Topic spotting, the…
We propose a novel multi-label classification approach to implicit discourse relation recognition (IDRR). Our approach features a multi-task model that jointly learns multi-label representations of implicit discourse relations across all…
Labelling of user's utterances to understanding his attends which called Dialogue Act (DA) classification, it is considered the key player for dialogue language understanding layer in automatic dialogue systems. In this paper, we proposed a…
Predicting high-dimensional or extreme multilabels, such as in medical coding, requires both accuracy and interpretability. Existing works often rely on local interpretability methods, failing to provide comprehensive explanations of the…
Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health issues worldwide, affecting a non-negligible part of the population. Accordingly, stakeholders, including governments' health systems, are developing new strategies to promote early…
By assigning each relationship a single label, current approaches formulate the relationship detection as a classification problem. Under this formulation, predicate categories are treated as completely different classes. However, different…
