Challenge: omitted tokens from the context contribute to incomplete utterance restoration (IUR) understanding conversational interactions through NLP has become important with increasing connectivity and range of capabilities.
Approach: They propose a model for incomplete utterance restoration called JET . they construct a Picker that identifies omitted tokens and two label creation methods to support the picker.
Outcome: The proposed model is better than pretrained T5 and non-generative language model methods on four benchmark datasets in extraction and abstraction scenarios.
