Developing a New Classifier for Automated Identification of Incivility in Social Media
The classifier is trained on a dataset of Reddit posts, which are annotated for incivility, and further expanded using a combination of labeled data from Reddit and Twitter.
Improved Named Entity Recognition for Noisy Call Center Transcripts
We explore the application of state-of-the-art NER algorithms to ASR-generated call center transcripts.
ErAConD: Error Annotated Conversational Dialog Dataset for Grammatical Error Correction
Currently available grammatical error correction (GEC) datasets are compiled using essays or other long-form text written by language learners, limiting the applicability of these datasets to other domains such as informal writing and conversational dialog.
User Simulation with Large Language Models for Evaluating Task-Oriented Dialogue
One of the major impediments to the development of new task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems is the need for human evaluation at multiple stages and iterations of the development process.
IdEALS: Idiomatic Expressions for Advancement of Language Skills
Although significant progress has been made in developing methods for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC), addressing word choice improvements has been notably lacking and enhancing sentence expressivity by replacing phrases with advanced expressions is an understudied aspect.
Using Chatbots to Teach Languages
This paper reports on progress towards building an online language learning tool to provide learners with conversational experience by using dialog systems as conversation practice partners.
ErAConD : Error Annotated Conversational Dialog Dataset for Grammatical Error Correction
Currently available grammatical error correction (GEC) datasets are compiled using well-formed written text, limiting the applicability of these datasets to other domains such as informal writing and dialog.
Gunrock 2.0: A User Adaptive Social Conversational System
Gunrock 2. 0 is built on top of Gunrock with an emphasis on user adaptation.
Tracking the Evolution of Written Language Competence in L2 Spanish Learners
In this paper we present an NLP-based approach for tracking the evolution of written language competence in L2 Spanish learners using a wide range of linguistic features automatically extracted from students{'} written productions.
Developing NLP Tools with a New Corpus of Learner Spanish
While annotated learner corpora of English are widely available, large learner corpora of Spanish are less common.
Gunrock: A Social Bot for Complex and Engaging Long Conversations
Gunrock is the winner of the 2018 Amazon Alexa Prize, as evaluated by coherence and engagement from both real users and Amazon-selected expert conversationalists.
Dependency Parsing for Spoken Dialog Systems
Dependency parsing of conversational input can play an important role in language understanding for dialog systems by identifying the relationships between entities extracted from user utterances.
