We propose constrained decoding with speculative lookaheads (CDSL), a technique that significantly improves upon the inference efficiency of CDLH without experiencing the drastic performance reduction seen with greedy decoding.

We present BYOKG, a universal question-answering (QA) system that can operate on any knowledge graph (KG), requires no human-annotated training data, and can be ready to use within a day -- attributes that are out-of-scope for current KGQA systems.

In several real world industry applications that use Machine Learning to build models on user data, such mandates require significant effort both in terms of data cleansing as well as model retraining while ensuring the models do not deteriorate in prediction quality due to removal of data.

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.

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).

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

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.

Next, we apply an improved version of ranking with a prior-based approach, which ranks all words in the candidate document with respect to a set of root words (i. e. non-stopwords present in the question and in the candidate document).
