Natural Language User Profiles for Transparent and Scrutable Recommendations

no code implementations8 Feb 2024 Jerome Ramos, Hossen A. Rahmani, Xi Wang, Xiao Fu, Aldo Lipani

This lack of transparency not only limits user understanding of why certain items are suggested but also reduces the user's ability to easily scrutinize and edit their preferences.

DePT: Decomposed Prompt Tuning for Parameter-Efficient Fine-tuning

2 code implementations11 Sep 2023 Zhengxiang Shi, Aldo Lipani

Prompt tuning (PT), where a small amount of trainable soft (continuous) prompt vectors is affixed to the input of language models (LM), has shown promising results across various tasks and models for parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).

Evaluation Metrics for Measuring Bias in Search Engine Results

no code implementations19 Oct 2022 Gizem Gezici, Aldo Lipani, Yucel Saygin, Emine Yilmaz

However, search engine results do not necessarily cover all the viewpoints of a search query topic, and they can be biased towards a specific view since search engine results are returned based on relevance, which is calculated using many features and sophisticated algorithms where search neutrality is not necessarily the focal point.

Attention-based Ingredient Phrase Parser

1 code implementation5 Oct 2022 Zhengxiang Shi, Pin Ni, MeiHui Wang, To Eun Kim, Aldo Lipani

As virtual personal assistants have now penetrated the consumer market, with products such as Siri and Alexa, the research community has produced several works on task-oriented dialogue tasks such as hotel booking, restaurant booking, and movie recommendation.

Dynamic Schema Graph Fusion Network for Multi-Domain Dialogue State Tracking

no code implementations ACL 2022 Yue Feng, Aldo Lipani, Fanghua Ye, Qiang Zhang, Emine Yilmaz

Existing approaches that have considered such relations generally fall short in: (1) fusing prior slot-domain membership relations and dialogue-aware dynamic slot relations explicitly, and (2) generalizing to unseen domains.
