Online Semantic Parsing for Latency Reduction in Task-Oriented Dialogue

no code implementations ACL 2022 Jiawei Zhou, Jason Eisner, Michael Newman, Emmanouil Antonios Platanios, Sam Thomson

Standard conversational semantic parsing maps a complete user utterance into an executable program, after which the program is executed to respond to the user.

Toward Interactive Dictation

no code implementations8 Jul 2023 Belinda Z. Li, Jason Eisner, Adam Pauls, Sam Thomson

Voice dictation is an increasingly important text input modality.

BenchCLAMP: A Benchmark for Evaluating Language Models on Syntactic and Semantic Parsing

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Subhro Roy, Sam Thomson, Tongfei Chen, Richard Shin, Adam Pauls, Jason Eisner, Benjamin Van Durme

We introduce BenchCLAMP, a Benchmark to evaluate Constrained LAnguage Model Parsing, that includes context-free grammars for seven semantic parsing datasets and two syntactic parsing datasets with varied output representations, as well as a constrained decoding interface to generate only valid outputs covered by these grammars.

When More Data Hurts: A Troubling Quirk in Developing Broad-Coverage Natural Language Understanding Systems

1 code implementation24 May 2022 Elias Stengel-Eskin, Emmanouil Antonios Platanios, Adam Pauls, Sam Thomson, Hao Fang, Benjamin Van Durme, Jason Eisner, Yu Su

Rejecting class imbalance as the sole culprit, we reveal that the trend is closely associated with an effect we call source signal dilution, where strong lexical cues for the new symbol become diluted as the training dataset grows.

Value-Agnostic Conversational Semantic Parsing

no code implementations ACL 2021 Emmanouil Antonios Platanios, Adam Pauls, Subhro Roy, Yuchen Zhang, Alexander Kyte, Alan Guo, Sam Thomson, Jayant Krishnamurthy, Jason Wolfe, Jacob Andreas, Dan Klein

Conversational semantic parsers map user utterances to executable programs given dialogue histories composed of previous utterances, programs, and system responses.

Syntactic Scaffolds for Semantic Structures

1 code implementation EMNLP 2018 Swabha Swayamdipta, Sam Thomson, Kenton Lee, Luke Zettlemoyer, Chris Dyer, Noah A. Smith

We introduce the syntactic scaffold, an approach to incorporating syntactic information into semantic tasks.

Rational Recurrences

1 code implementation EMNLP 2018 Hao Peng, Roy Schwartz, Sam Thomson, Noah A. Smith

We characterize this connection formally, defining rational recurrences to be recurrent hidden state update functions that can be written as the Forward calculation of a finite set of WFSAs.

Bridging CNNs, RNNs, and Weighted Finite-State Machines

no code implementations ACL 2018 Roy Schwartz, Sam Thomson, Noah A. Smith

Recurrent and convolutional neural networks comprise two distinct families of models that have proven to be useful for encoding natural language utterances.

Toward Abstractive Summarization Using Semantic Representations

1 code implementation HLT 2015 Fei Liu, Jeffrey Flanigan, Sam Thomson, Norman Sadeh, Noah A. Smith

We present a novel abstractive summarization framework that draws on the recent development of a treebank for the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR).

SoPa: Bridging CNNs, RNNs, and Weighted Finite-State Machines

2 code implementations15 May 2018 Roy Schwartz, Sam Thomson, Noah A. Smith

Recurrent and convolutional neural networks comprise two distinct families of models that have proven to be useful for encoding natural language utterances.

Backpropagating through Structured Argmax using a SPIGOT

1 code implementation ACL 2018 Hao Peng, Sam Thomson, Noah A. Smith

We introduce the structured projection of intermediate gradients optimization technique (SPIGOT), a new method for backpropagating through neural networks that include hard-decision structured predictions (e. g., parsing) in intermediate layers.

Learning Joint Semantic Parsers from Disjoint Data

2 code implementations NAACL 2018 Hao Peng, Sam Thomson, Swabha Swayamdipta, Noah A. Smith

We present a new approach to learning semantic parsers from multiple datasets, even when the target semantic formalisms are drastically different, and the underlying corpora do not overlap.

Neural Motifs: Scene Graph Parsing with Global Context

7 code implementations CVPR 2018 Rowan Zellers, Mark Yatskar, Sam Thomson, Yejin Choi

We then introduce Stacked Motif Networks, a new architecture designed to capture higher order motifs in scene graphs that further improves over our strong baseline by an average 7. 1% relative gain.
