Bootstrapping Conversational Agents with Weak Supervision
2019
PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTIETH AAAI CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE TWENTY-EIGHTH INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE
In this paper, we present a framework called search, label, and propagate (SLP) for bootstrapping intents from existing chat logs using weak supervision. ...
Many conversational agents in the market today follow a standard bot development framework which requires training intent classifiers to recognize user input. ...
We also gathered user feedback to inform future work for the emerging applications of bootstrapping conversational agents, and more broadly training text classifiers, using weak supervision. ...

Unsupervised Learning of KB Queries in Task Oriented Dialogs
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Task-oriented dialog (TOD) systems converse with users to accomplish a specific task. This task requires the system to query a knowledge base (KB) and use the retrieved results to fulfil user needs. ...
KB queries are usually annotated in real-world datasets and are learnt using supervised approaches to achieve acceptable task completion. ...
We propose a novel cor-related attributes resilient RL (CARRL) approach for predicting KB queries using weak supervision to counter the effect of correlated attributes in the TOD KBs. ...

Less is More: Generating Grounded Navigation Instructions from Landmarks
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Using text parsers, weak supervision from RxR's pose traces, and a multilingual image-text encoder trained on 1.8b images, we identify 971k English, Hindi and Telugu landmark descriptions and ground them ...
Generating such high-quality navigation instructions in novel environments is a step towards conversational navigation tools and could facilitate larger-scale training of instruction-following agents. ...

Diluted Near-Optimal Expert Demonstrations for Guiding Dialogue Stochastic Policy Optimisation
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
A learning dialogue agent can infer its behaviour from interactions with the users. These interactions can be taken from either human-to-human or human-machine conversations. ...
One solution to speedup the learning process is to guide the agent's exploration with the help of an expert. ...

Role of Relational Ties in the Relationship between Thriving at Work and Innovative Work Behavior: An Empirical Study
2019
European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education
Based on the socially embedded model of thriving, we aimed to assess the relevant related work on structured potential effects with relational ties (i.e., strong versus weak). ...
Using partial least squares modeling on a sample of 412 observations (strong and weak ties), strong support was found for the theory-driven hypothesized relationships. ...
The bootstrapping analysis showed that the indirect effect was significant with 0.1355, 0.0226, 5.997 . ...
