SUQL: Conversational Search over Structured and Unstructured Data with Large Language Models

1 code implementation16 Nov 2023 Shicheng Liu, Jialiang Xu, Wesley Tjangnaka, Sina J. Semnani, Chen Jie Yu, Monica S. Lam

This paper presents the first conversational agent that supports the full generality of hybrid data access for large knowledge corpora, through a language we developed called SUQL (Structured and Unstructured Query Language).

WikiChat: Stopping the Hallucination of Large Language Model Chatbots by Few-Shot Grounding on Wikipedia

1 code implementation23 May 2023 Sina J. Semnani, Violet Z. Yao, Heidi C. Zhang, Monica S. Lam

WikiChat generates a response from an LLM, retains only the grounded facts, and combines them with additional information it retrieves from the corpus to form factual and engaging responses.

Zero and Few-Shot Localization of Task-Oriented Dialogue Agents with a Distilled Representation

1 code implementation18 Feb 2023 Mehrad Moradshahi, Sina J. Semnani, Monica S. Lam

We propose automatic methods that use ToD training data in a source language to build a high-quality functioning dialogue agent in another target language that has no training data (i. e. zero-shot) or a small training set (i. e. few-shot).

ThingTalk: An Extensible, Executable Representation Language for Task-Oriented Dialogues

1 code implementation23 Mar 2022 Monica S. Lam, Giovanni Campagna, Mehrad Moradshahi, Sina J. Semnani, Silei Xu

Task-oriented conversational agents rely on semantic parsers to translate natural language to formal representations.

Localizing Open-Ontology QA Semantic Parsers in a Day Using Machine Translation

1 code implementation EMNLP 2020 Mehrad Moradshahi, Giovanni Campagna, Sina J. Semnani, Silei Xu, Monica S. Lam

We propose Semantic Parser Localizer (SPL), a toolkit that leverages Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems to localize a semantic parser for a new language.

A Few-Shot Semantic Parser for Wizard-of-Oz Dialogues with the Precise ThingTalk Representation

1 code implementation Findings (ACL) 2022 Giovanni Campagna, Sina J. Semnani, Ryan Kearns, Lucas Jun Koba Sato, Silei Xu, Monica S. Lam

Previous attempts to build effective semantic parsers for Wizard-of-Oz (WOZ) conversations suffer from the difficulty in acquiring a high-quality, manually annotated training set.
