In this paper, we propose an interactive matching network (IMN) for the multi-turn response selection task. First, IMN constructs word representations from three aspects to address the challenge of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. Second, an…

Human-like attention as a supervisory signal to guide neural attention has shown significant promise but is currently limited to uni-modal integration - even for inherently multimodal tasks such as visual question answering (VQA). We…

Intent detection and slot filling are two fundamental tasks for building a spoken language understanding (SLU) system. Multiple deep learning-based joint models have demonstrated excellent results on the two tasks. In this paper, we propose…

Recent advances in conversational systems have changed the search paradigm. Traditionally, a user poses a query to a search engine that returns an answer based on its index, possibly leveraging external knowledge bases and conditioning the…

Relevance is a foundation of user experience in e-commerce search. We view relevance optimization as a closed-loop ecosystem involving multiple human roles: users who provide feedback, product managers who define standards, annotators who…

In this paper, we present a novel model architecture for optimizing personalized product search ranking using a multi-task learning (MTL) framework. Our approach uniquely integrates tabular and non-tabular data, leveraging a pre-trained…

Multi-behavioral sequential recommendation has recently attracted increasing attention. However, existing methods suffer from two major limitations. Firstly, user preferences and intents can be described in fine-grained detail from multiple…

Online relevance matching is an essential task of e-commerce product search to boost the utility of search engines and ensure a smooth user experience. Previous work adopts either classical relevance matching models or Transformer-style…

Human face-to-face communication is a complex multimodal signal. We use words (language modality), gestures (vision modality) and changes in tone (acoustic modality) to convey our intentions. Humans easily process and understand…

Query-service relevance prediction in e-commerce search systems faces strict latency requirements that prevent the direct application of Large Language Models (LLMs). To bridge this gap, we propose a two-stage reasoning distillation…

E-commerce click-stream data and product catalogs offer critical user behavior insights and product knowledge. This paper propose a multi-modal transformer termed as PINCER, that leverages the above data sources to transform initial user…

Our goal in this research is to study a more realistic environment in which we can conduct weakly-supervised multi-modal instance-level product retrieval for fine-grained product categories. We first contribute the Product1M datasets, and…

Lifelong sequential modeling (LSM) is becoming increasingly critical in social media recommendation systems for predicting the click-through rate (CTR) of items presented to users. Central to this process is the attention mechanism, which…

Cross-modal retrieval aims to search for instances, which are semantically related to the query through the interaction of different modal data. Traditional solutions utilize a single-tower or dual-tower framework to explicitly compute the…

With the development of dialog techniques, conversational search has attracted more and more attention as it enables users to interact with the search engine in a natural and efficient manner. However, comparing with the natural language…

Identification of drug-target interactions is an indispensable part of drug discovery. While conventional shallow machine learning and recent deep learning methods based on chemogenomic properties of drugs and target proteins have pushed…

Recently, much effort has been devoted to modeling users' multi-interests based on their behaviors or auxiliary signals. However, existing methods often rely on heuristic assumptions, e.g., co-occurring items indicate the same interest of…

Aspect-level sentiment classification aims at identifying the sentiment polarity of specific target in its context. Previous approaches have realized the importance of targets in sentiment classification and developed various methods with…

Showing relevant search results to the user is the primary challenge for any search system. Walmart e-commerce provides an omnichannel search platform to its customers to search from millions of products. This search platform takes a…

As a promising field, Multi-Query Image Retrieval (MQIR) aims at searching for the semantically relevant image given multiple region-specific text queries. Existing works mainly focus on a single-level similarity between image regions and…
