Compositional Generalization in Spoken Language Understanding

no code implementations25 Dec 2023 Avik Ray, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin

State-of-the-art spoken language understanding (SLU) models have shown tremendous success in benchmark SLU datasets, yet they still fail in many practical scenario due to the lack of model compositionality when trained on limited training data.

Contextual Data Augmentation for Task-Oriented Dialog Systems

no code implementations16 Oct 2023 Dustin Axman, Avik Ray, Shubham Garg, Jing Huang

While dialog response generation has been widely studied on the agent side, it is not evident if similar generative models can be used to generate a large variety of, and often unexpected, user inputs that real dialog systems encounter in practice.

Code-Switched Text Synthesis in Unseen Language Pairs

no code implementations26 May 2023 I-Hung Hsu, Avik Ray, Shubham Garg, Nanyun Peng, Jing Huang

In this work, we study the problem of synthesizing code-switched texts for language pairs absent from the training data.

Generating Dialogue Responses from a Semantic Latent Space

no code implementations EMNLP 2020 Wei-Jen Ko, Avik Ray, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin

Existing open-domain dialogue generation models are usually trained to mimic the gold response in the training set using cross-entropy loss on the vocabulary.

Fast Domain Adaptation of Semantic Parsers via Paraphrase Attention

no code implementations WS 2019 Avik Ray, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin

However, state-of-the art attention based neural parsers are slow to retrain which inhibits real time domain adaptation.

Iterative Delexicalization for Improved Spoken Language Understanding

no code implementations15 Oct 2019 Avik Ray, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin

Recurrent neural network (RNN) based joint intent classification and slot tagging models have achieved tremendous success in recent years for building spoken language understanding and dialog systems.

Robust Spoken Language Understanding via Paraphrasing

no code implementations17 Sep 2018 Avik Ray, Yilin Shen, Hongxia Jin

Learning intents and slot labels from user utterances is a fundamental step in all spoken language understanding (SLU) and dialog systems.

CRUISE: Cold-Start New Skill Development via Iterative Utterance Generation

no code implementations ACL 2018 Yilin Shen, Avik Ray, Abhishek Patel, Hongxia Jin

We present a system, CRUISE, that guides ordinary software developers to build a high quality natural language understanding (NLU) engine from scratch.

The Search Problem in Mixture Models

no code implementations4 Oct 2016 Avik Ray, Joe Neeman, Sujay Sanghavi, Sanjay Shakkottai

We consider the task of learning the parameters of a {\em single} component of a mixture model, for the case when we are given {\em side information} about that component, we call this the "search problem" in mixture models.
