Word Substitution in Short Answer Extraction: A WordNet-based Approach

no code implementations GWC 2016 Qingqing Cai, James Gung, Maochen Guan, Gerald Kurlandski, Adam Pease

In the first phase sentence classification is performed with a classifier trained with the passive aggressive algorithm utilizing the UIUC dataset and taxonomy and a feature set including word vectors.

Predicate Representations and Polysemy in VerbNet Semantic Parsing

1 code implementation IWCS (ACL) 2021 James Gung, Martha Palmer

Despite recent advances in semantic role labeling propelled by pre-trained text encoders like BERT, performance lags behind when applied to predicates observed infrequently during training or to sentences in new domains.

SemLink 2.0: Chasing Lexical Resources

1 code implementation IWCS (ACL) 2021 Kevin Stowe, Jenette Preciado, Kathryn Conger, Susan Windisch Brown, Ghazaleh Kazeminejad, James Gung, Martha Palmer

The SemLink resource provides mappings between a variety of lexical semantic ontologies, each with their strengths and weaknesses.

User Simulation with Large Language Models for Evaluating Task-Oriented Dialogue

no code implementations23 Sep 2023 Sam Davidson, Salvatore Romeo, Raphael Shu, James Gung, Arshit Gupta, Saab Mansour, Yi Zhang

One of the major impediments to the development of new task-oriented dialogue (TOD) systems is the need for human evaluation at multiple stages and iterations of the development process.

In-Context Learning User Simulation

Measuring and Mitigating Constraint Violations of In-Context Learning for Utterance-to-API Semantic Parsing

no code implementations24 May 2023 Shufan Wang, Sebastien Jean, Sailik Sengupta, James Gung, Nikolaos Pappas, Yi Zhang

In executable task-oriented semantic parsing, the system aims to translate users' utterances in natural language to machine-interpretable programs (API calls) that can be executed according to pre-defined API specifications.

NatCS: Eliciting Natural Customer Support Dialogues

2 code implementations4 May 2023 James Gung, Emily Moeng, Wesley Rose, Arshit Gupta, Yi Zhang, Saab Mansour

Existing task-oriented dialogue datasets, which were collected to benchmark dialogue systems mainly in written human-to-bot settings, are not representative of real customer support conversations and do not provide realistic benchmarks for systems that are applied to natural data.

Intent Induction from Conversations for Task-Oriented Dialogue Track at DSTC 11

2 code implementations25 Apr 2023 James Gung, Raphael Shu, Emily Moeng, Wesley Rose, Salvatore Romeo, Yassine Benajiba, Arshit Gupta, Saab Mansour, Yi Zhang

With increasing demand for and adoption of virtual assistants, recent work has investigated ways to accelerate bot schema design through the automatic induction of intents or the induction of slots and dialogue states.

VerbNet Representations: Subevent Semantics for Transfer Verbs

no code implementations WS 2019 Susan Windisch Brown, Julia Bonn, James Gung, Annie Zaenen, James Pustejovsky, Martha Palmer

This paper announces the release of a new version of the English lexical resource VerbNet with substantially revised semantic representations designed to facilitate computer planning and reasoning based on human language.
