Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dialogue Generation

8 code implementations EMNLP 2016 Jiwei Li, Will Monroe, Alan Ritter, Michel Galley, Jianfeng Gao, Dan Jurafsky

Recent neural models of dialogue generation offer great promise for generating responses for conversational agents, but tend to be shortsighted, predicting utterances one at a time while ignoring their influence on future outcomes.

Feature Weight Tuning for Recursive Neural Networks

no code implementations11 Dec 2014 Jiwei Li

This paper addresses how a recursive neural network model can automatically leave out useless information and emphasize important evidence, in other words, to perform "weight tuning" for higher-level representation acquisition.

Inferring User Preferences by Probabilistic Logical Reasoning over Social Networks

no code implementations11 Nov 2014 Jiwei Li, Alan Ritter, Dan Jurafsky

by building a probabilistic model that reasons over user attributes (the user's location or gender) and the social network (the user's friends and spouse), via inferences like homophily (I am more likely to like sushi if spouse or friends like sushi, I am more likely to like the Knicks if I live in New York).
