Existing generative retrieval (GR) methods rely on training-based indexing, which fine-tunes a model to memorise associations between queries and the document identifiers (docids) of relevant documents. Training-based indexing suffers from…
Inspired by recent work in meta-learning and generative teaching networks, we propose a framework called Generative Conversational Networks, in which conversational agents learn to generate their own labelled training data (given some seed…
New intent discovery aims to uncover novel intent categories from user utterances to expand the set of supported intent classes. It is a critical task for the development and service expansion of a practical dialogue system. Despite its…
This work evaluates Sentence-BERT for a multi-label code comment classification task seeking to maximize the classification performance while controlling efficiency constraints during inference. Using a dataset of 13,216 labeled comment…
Identifying words that impact a task's performance more than others is a challenge in natural language processing. Transformers models have recently addressed this issue by incorporating an attention mechanism that assigns greater attention…
In task-oriented dialogue systems, spoken language understanding (SLU) is a critical component, which consists of two sub-tasks, intent detection and slot filling. Most existing methods focus on the single-intent SLU, where each utterance…
Conversational systems are of primary interest in the AI community. Chatbots are increasingly being deployed to provide round-the-clock support and to increase customer engagement. Many of the commercial bot building frameworks follow a…
Vision-language foundation models have shown promising zero-shot generalization for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Object Detection (CD-FSOD). However, they face two critical challenges in fine-tuning: insufficient support set utilization due to…
Few-shot semantic segmentation (FSS) aims to achieve novel objects segmentation with only a few annotated samples and has made great progress recently. Most of the existing FSS models focus on the feature matching between support and query…
Detecting the user's intent and finding the corresponding slots among the utterance's words are important tasks in natural language understanding. Their interconnected nature makes their joint modeling a standard part of training such…
We study few-shot learning in natural language domains. Compared to many existing works that apply either metric-based or optimization-based meta-learning to image domain with low inter-task variance, we consider a more realistic setting,…
Deep graph generative modeling has gained enormous attraction in recent years due to its impressive ability to directly learn the underlying hidden graph distribution. Despite their initial success, these techniques, like much of the…
Few-shot semantic segmentation aims to learn to segment unseen class objects with the guidance of only a few support images. Most previous methods rely on the pixel-level label of support images. In this paper, we focus on a more…
This research introduces a novel text generation model that combines BERT's semantic interpretation strengths with GPT-4's generative capabilities, establishing a high standard in generating coherent, contextually accurate language. Through…
Harmful and offensive communication or content is detrimental to social bonding and the mental state of users on social media platforms. Text detoxification is a crucial task in natural language processing (NLP), where the goal is removing…
Current grammatical error correction (GEC) models typically consider the task as sequence generation, which requires large amounts of annotated data and limit the applications in data-limited settings. We try to incorporate contextual…
Intent classifiers must be able to distinguish when a user's utterance does not belong to any supported intent to avoid producing incorrect and unrelated system responses. Although out-of-scope (OOS) detection for intent classifiers has…
Multi-modal generation has been widely explored in recent years. Current research directions involve generating text based on an image or vice versa. In this paper, we propose a new task called CIGLI: Conditional Image Generation from…
Conditional natural language generation methods often require either expensive fine-tuning or training a large language model from scratch. Both are unlikely to lead to good results without a substantial amount of data and computational…
We propose a new setting that relaxes an assumption in the conventional Co-Salient Object Detection (CoSOD) setting by allowing the presence of "noisy images" which do not show the shared co-salient object. We call this new setting…
