• Abstract: Intelligent assistants like Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are trained to parse information when the conversation is synchronous and short; however, for email-based conversational agents, the communication is asynchronous, and often contains information irrelevant to the assistant. This makes it harder for the system to accurately detect intents, extract entities relevant to those intents and thereby perform the desired action. We present a neural model for scoping relevant information for the agent from a large query. We show that when used as a preprocessing step, the model improves performance of both intent detection and entity extraction tasks. We demonstrate the model's impact on Scheduler (Cortana is the persona of the agent, while Scheduler is the name of the service. We use them interchangeably in the context of this paper.) - a virtual conversational meeting scheduling assistant that interacts asynchronously with users through email. The model helps the entity extraction and intent detection tasks requisite by Scheduler achieve an average gain of 35% in precision without any drop in recall. Additionally, we demonstrate that the same approach can be used for component level analysis in large documents, such as signature block identification.

  We propose a Relation of Relation Learning Network (R2-Net) for sentence semantic matching. We first employ BERT to encode the input sentences from a global perspective. Then a CNN-based encoder is designed to capture keywords and phrase information from a local perspective. To fully leverage labels for better relation information extraction, we introduce a self-supervised relation of relation classification task.

  We propose a novel Query-to-Intent-Description (Q2ID) task for query understanding. Unlike existing ranking tasks which leverage the query and its description to compute the relevance of documents, Q2ID is a reverse task which aims to generate a natural language intent description. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model by comparing with several state-of-the-art generation models on the Q2ID task.
