| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to convert natural language (NL) instructions into structured business process automation (BPA) process artifacts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large language models to convert natural language (NL) instructions into structured business process automation (BPA) process artifacts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to translate NL into Python and convert it into widely adopted business process definition languages. |
DiSTRICT: Dialogue State Tracking with Retriever Driven In-Context Tuning (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to task-oriented conversation system DST use hand-crafted templates and additional slot information to fine-tune and prompt large pre-trained language models and elicit slot values from the dialogue context. |
| Approach: | They propose a generalizable in-context tuning approach that retrieves highly relevant training examples for a given dialogue to fine-tune the model without any hand-crafted templates. |
| Outcome: | Experiments with the MultiWOZ benchmark datasets show that DiSTRICT outperforms existing approaches in various zero-shot and few-shot settings using a much smaller model. |
