Unsupervised Melody-Guided Lyrics Generation

no code implementations12 May 2023 Yufei Tian, Anjali Narayan-Chen, Shereen Oraby, Alessandra Cervone, Gunnar Sigurdsson, Chenyang Tao, Wenbo Zhao, Tagyoung Chung, Jing Huang, Nanyun Peng

At inference time, we leverage the crucial alignments between melody and lyrics and compile the given melody into constraints to guide the generation process.

ExPUNations: Augmenting Puns with Keywords and Explanations

1 code implementation24 Oct 2022 Jiao Sun, Anjali Narayan-Chen, Shereen Oraby, Alessandra Cervone, Tagyoung Chung, Jing Huang, Yang Liu, Nanyun Peng

The tasks of humor understanding and generation are challenging and subjective even for humans, requiring commonsense and real-world knowledge to master.

Logical Reasoning for Task Oriented Dialogue Systems

no code implementations ECNLP (ACL) 2022 Sajjad Beygi, Maryam Fazel-Zarandi, Alessandra Cervone, Prakash Krishnan, Siddhartha Reddy Jonnalagadda

We observe that transformer based models such as UnifiedQA-T5 can be fine-tuned to perform logical reasoning (such as numerical and categorical attributes' comparison) over attributes that been seen in training time (e. g., accuracy of 90\%+ for comparison of smaller than $k_{\max}$=5 values over heldout test dataset).

Emotion Carrier Recognition from Personal Narratives

no code implementations17 Aug 2020 Aniruddha Tammewar, Alessandra Cervone, Giuseppe Riccardi

In this work, we propose a novel task for Narrative Understanding: Emotion Carrier Recognition (ECR).

Annotation of Emotion Carriers in Personal Narratives

no code implementations LREC 2020 Aniruddha Tammewar, Alessandra Cervone, Eva-Maria Messner, Giuseppe Riccardi

We are interested in the problem of understanding personal narratives (PN) - spoken or written - recollections of facts, events, and thoughts.

Affective Behaviour Analysis of On-line User Interactions: Are On-line Support Groups more Therapeutic than Twitter?

no code implementations WS 2019 Giuliano Tortoreto, Evgeny A. Stepanov, Alessandra Cervone, Mateusz Dubiel, Giuseppe Riccardi

Possible applications of the method include provision of guidelines that highlight potential implications of using such platforms on users' mental health, and/or support in the analysis of their impact on specific individuals.

Modeling user context for valence prediction from narratives

no code implementations9 May 2019 Aniruddha Tammewar, Alessandra Cervone, Eva-Maria Messner, Giuseppe Riccardi

Automated prediction of valence, one key feature of a person's emotional state, from individuals' personal narratives may provide crucial information for mental healthcare (e. g. early diagnosis of mental diseases, supervision of disease course, etc.).

Towards Coherent and Engaging Spoken Dialog Response Generation Using Automatic Conversation Evaluators

no code implementations WS 2019 Sanghyun Yi, Rahul Goel, Chandra Khatri, Alessandra Cervone, Tagyoung Chung, Behnam Hedayatnia, Anu Venkatesh, Raefer Gabriel, Dilek Hakkani-Tur

Having explicit feedback on the relevance and interestingness of a system response at each turn can be a useful signal for mitigating such issues and improving system quality by selecting responses from different approaches.

Coherence Models for Dialogue

1 code implementation21 Jun 2018 Alessandra Cervone, Evgeny Stepanov, Giuseppe Riccardi

Nevertheless, both the original grid and its extensions do not model intents, a crucial aspect that has been studied widely in the literature in connection to dialogue structure.

ISO-Standard Domain-Independent Dialogue Act Tagging for Conversational Agents

1 code implementation COLING 2018 Stefano Mezza, Alessandra Cervone, Giuliano Tortoreto, Evgeny A. Stepanov, Giuseppe Riccardi

Dialogue Act (DA) tagging is crucial for spoken language understanding systems, as it provides a general representation of speakers' intents, not bound to a particular dialogue system.
