Few-Shot Structured Policy Learning for Multi-Domain and Multi-Task Dialogues (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Reinforcement learning is widely adopted to model dialogue managers in task-oriented dialogues, but the user simulator provided by state-of-the-art dialogue frameworks are only rough approximations of human behaviour. |
| Approach: | They propose to use structured policies to improve sample efficiency when learning on multi-domain and multi-task environments. |
| Outcome: | The proposed policies improve sample efficiency and performance on multi-domain and multi-task environments. |
Neural-Driven Search-Based Paraphrase Generation (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing non-supervised paraphrase generation models are biased toward specific problems like question answering or image captioning. |
| Approach: | They propose a search-based paraphrase generation scheme where candidate paraphrases are generated by iterated transformations from the original sentence and evaluated in terms of syntax quality, semantic distance, and lexical distance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithms perform well against non-supervised baselines. |
