Thresholding Classifiers to Maximize F1 Score

1 code implementation8 Feb 2014 Zachary Chase Lipton, Charles Elkan, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy

As another special case, if the classifier is completely uninformative, then the optimal behavior is to classify all examples as positive.

Achieving Fluency and Coherency in Task-oriented Dialog

no code implementations11 Apr 2018 Rashmi Gangadharaiah, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy, Charles Elkan

We show how to combine nearest neighbor and Seq2Seq methods in a hybrid model, where nearest neighbor is used to generate fluent responses and Seq2Seq type models ensure dialog coherency and generate accurate external actions.

What we need to learn if we want to do and not just talk

no code implementations NAACL 2018 Rashmi Gangadharaiah, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy, Charles Elkan

In task-oriented dialog, agents need to generate both fluent natural language responses and correct external actions like database queries and updates.

Recursive Template-based Frame Generation for Task Oriented Dialog

no code implementations ACL 2020 Rashmi Gangadharaiah, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy

The Natural Language Understanding (NLU) component in task oriented dialog systems processes a user{'}s request and converts it into structured information that can be consumed by downstream components such as the Dialog State Tracker (DST).

Zero-Shot Learning for Joint Intent and Slot Labeling

no code implementations29 Nov 2022 Rashmi Gangadharaiah, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy

It is expensive and difficult to obtain the large number of sentence-level intent and token-level slot label annotations required to train neural network (NN)-based Natural Language Understanding (NLU) components of task-oriented dialog systems, especially for the many real world tasks that have a large and growing number of intents and slot types.

Predict-and-Critic: Accelerated End-to-End Predictive Control for Cloud Computing through Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations2 Dec 2022 Kaustubh Sridhar, Vikramank Singh, Balakrishnan Narayanaswamy, Abishek Sankararaman

PnC jointly trains a prediction model and a terminal Q function that approximates cost-to-go over a long horizon, by back-propagating the cost of decisions through the optimization problem \emph{and from the future}.
