Q-TOD: A Query-driven Task-oriented Dialogue System (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing pipelined task-oriented dialogue systems have difficulties adapting to unseen domains . end-to-end systems are plagued by large-scale knowledge bases in practice . |
| Approach: | They propose a query-driven task-oriented dialogue system that extracts dialogue context information into a natural language query. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms strong baselines and establishes a new state-of-the-art performance on three publicly available task-oriented dialogue datasets. |

| Challenge: | Experimental results show PLATO-XL achieves state-of-the-art results across multiple conversational tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to train PLATO-XL models with up to 11 billion parameters, trained on Chinese and English social media conversations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art on multiple conversational tasks, verifying its potential as a foundation model of conversational AI. |
An Exploratory Study on Model Compression for Text-to-SQL (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Text-to-SQL translates user queries into SQL statements that can retrieve relevant answers from relational databases. |
| Approach: | They propose to apply model compression techniques to sketch-based and sequence-to-sequence Text-toSQL models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models have higher inference efficiency and respond better to model compression than sequence-to-sequence models. |
