Contextual Rephrase Detection for Reducing Friction in Dialogue Systems

no code implementations EMNLP 2021 Zhuoyi Wang, Saurabh Gupta, Jie Hao, Xing Fan, Dingcheng Li, Alexander Hanbo Li, Chenlei Guo

Rephrase detection is used to identify the rephrases and has long been treated as a task with pairwise input, which does not fully utilize the contextual information (e. g. users’ implicit feedback).

Few-Shot Data-to-Text Generation via Unified Representation and Multi-Source Learning

no code implementations10 Aug 2023 Alexander Hanbo Li, Mingyue Shang, Evangelia Spiliopoulou, Jie Ma, Patrick Ng, Zhiguo Wang, Bonan Min, William Wang, Kathleen McKeown, Vittorio Castelli, Dan Roth, Bing Xiang

We present a novel approach for structured data-to-text generation that addresses the limitations of existing methods that primarily focus on specific types of structured data.

Improving Text-to-SQL Semantic Parsing with Fine-grained Query Understanding

no code implementations28 Sep 2022 Jun Wang, Patrick Ng, Alexander Hanbo Li, Jiarong Jiang, Zhiguo Wang, Ramesh Nallapati, Bing Xiang, Sudipta Sengupta

When synthesizing a SQL query, there is no explicit semantic information of NLQ available to the parser which leads to undesirable generalization performance.

Decomposed Adversarial Learned Inference

no code implementations21 Apr 2020 Alexander Hanbo Li, Yaqing Wang, Changyou Chen, Jing Gao

Effective inference for a generative adversarial model remains an important and challenging problem.

Censored Quantile Regression Forest

no code implementations8 Jan 2020 Alexander Hanbo Li, Jelena Bradic

Random forests are powerful non-parametric regression method but are severely limited in their usage in the presence of randomly censored observations, and naively applied can exhibit poor predictive performance due to the incurred biases.

Forest-type Regression with General Losses and Robust Forest

no code implementations ICML 2017 Alexander Hanbo Li, Andrew Martin

This paper introduces a new general framework for forest-type regression which allows the development of robust forest regressors by selecting from a large family of robust loss functions.

Boosting in the presence of outliers: adaptive classification with non-convex loss functions

no code implementations5 Oct 2015 Alexander Hanbo Li, Jelena Bradic

Along with the Arch Boosting framework, the non-convex losses lead to the new class of boosting algorithms, named adaptive, robust, boosting (ARB).
