Multi-User MultiWOZ: Task-Oriented Dialogues among Multiple Users

1 code implementation31 Oct 2023 Yohan Jo, Xinyan Zhao, Arijit Biswas, Nikoletta Basiou, Vincent Auvray, Nikolaos Malandrakis, Angeliki Metallinou, Alexandros Potamianos

While most task-oriented dialogues assume conversations between the agent and one user at a time, dialogue systems are increasingly expected to communicate with multiple users simultaneously who make decisions collaboratively.

Toward Effective Automated Content Analysis via Crowdsourcing

no code implementations12 Jan 2021 Jiele Wu, Chau-Wai Wong, Xinyan Zhao, Xianpeng Liu

For subjective features such as semantic connotation, online workers, known for optimizing their hourly earnings, tend to deteriorate in the quality of their responses as they work longer.

LIREx: Augmenting Language Inference with Relevant Explanation

1 code implementation16 Dec 2020 Xinyan Zhao, V. G. Vinod Vydiswaran

Natural language explanations (NLEs) are a special form of data annotation in which annotators identify rationales (most significant text tokens) when assigning labels to data instances, and write out explanations for the labels in natural language based on the rationales.

A Weighted Heterogeneous Graph Based Dialogue System

no code implementations21 Oct 2020 Xinyan Zhao, LiangWei Chen, Huanhuan Chen

Most research on disease diagnosis dialogue systems highly rely on data-driven methods and statistical features, lacking profound comprehension of symptom-disease relations and symptom-symptom relations.

Correction of Faulty Background Knowledge based on Condition Aware and Revise Transformer for Question Answering

no code implementations30 Jun 2020 Xinyan Zhao, Xiao Feng, Haoming Zhong, Jun Yao, Huanhuan Chen

CAR-Transformer (1) revises each condition value based on the whole conversation and original conditions values, and (2) it encodes the revised conditions and utilizes the conditions embedding to select an answer.
