Revisit Few-shot Intent Classification with PLMs: Direct Fine-tuning vs. Continual Pre-training

1 code implementation8 Jun 2023 Haode Zhang, Haowen Liang, LiMing Zhan, Xiao-Ming Wu, Albert Y. S. Lam

We consider the task of few-shot intent detection, which involves training a deep learning model to classify utterances based on their underlying intents using only a small amount of labeled data.

New Intent Discovery with Pre-training and Contrastive Learning

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Yuwei Zhang, Haode Zhang, Li-Ming Zhan, Xiao-Ming Wu, Albert Y. S. Lam

Existing approaches typically rely on a large amount of labeled utterances and employ pseudo-labeling methods for representation learning and clustering, which are label-intensive, inefficient, and inaccurate.

Out-of-Scope Intent Detection with Self-Supervision and Discriminative Training

no code implementations ACL 2021 Li-Ming Zhan, Haowen Liang, Bo Liu, Lu Fan, Xiao-Ming Wu, Albert Y. S. Lam

Since the distribution of outlier utterances is arbitrary and unknown in the training stage, existing methods commonly rely on strong assumptions on data distribution such as mixture of Gaussians to make inference, resulting in either complex multi-step training procedures or hand-crafted rules such as confidence threshold selection for outlier detection.

Reconstructing Capsule Networks for Zero-shot Intent Classification

1 code implementation IJCNLP 2019 Han Liu, Xiaotong Zhang, Lu Fan, Xu Fu, i, Qimai Li, Xiao-Ming Wu, Albert Y. S. Lam

With the burgeoning of conversational AI, existing systems are not capable of handling numerous fast-emerging intents, which motivates zero-shot intent classification.

An Inter-molecular Adaptive Collision Scheme for Chemical Reaction Optimization

no code implementations1 Feb 2015 James J. Q. Yu, Victor O. K. Li, Albert Y. S. Lam

However, the functionality of the inter-molecular ineffective collision operator in the canonical CRO design overlaps that of the on-wall ineffective collision operator, which can potential impair the overall performance.
