Topic Spotting using Hierarchical Networks with Self Attention (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems struggle to have consistent long term conversations with the users and fail to build rapport. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchical model with self attention for topic spotting . they compare it to previous proposed techniques for topic detection . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models for topic spotting and deep models for text classification in an online setting. |

Shirley Anugrah Hayati, Raphael Olivier, Pravalika Avvaru, Pengcheng Yin, Anthony Tomasic, Graham Neubig
| Challenge: | Existing methods to generate program source code from natural language are not able to generate complex code due to a lack of ability to memorize large and complex structures. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that uses subtree retrieval to explicitly reference existing code examples within a neural code generation model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves performance on two code generation tasks by up to +2.6 BLEU. |
