• Abstract summary: We present an attentive dual encoder model that includes an attention mechanism on top of the extracted word-level features from two encoders. We design a novel regularization loss to minimize the mutual information between unimportant words and desired labels. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of better Recall@1 accuracy and visualized interpretability.

• Abstract: This work shows how to improve and interpret the commonly used dual encoder model for response suggestion in dialogue. We present an attentive dual encoder model that includes an attention mechanism on top of the extracted word-level features from two encoders, one for context and one for label respectively. To improve the interpretability in the dual encoder models, we design a novel regularization loss to minimize the mutual information between unimportant words and desired labels, in addition to the original attention method, so that important words are emphasized while unimportant words are de-emphasized. This can help not only with model interpretability, but can also further improve model accuracy. We propose an approximation method that uses a neural network to calculate the mutual information. Furthermore, by adding a residual layer between raw word embeddings and the final encoded context feature, word-level interpretability is preserved at the final prediction of the model. We compare the proposed model with existing methods for the dialogue response task on two public datasets (Persona and Ubuntu). The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of better Recall@1 accuracy and visualized interpretability.

  We consider the task of paraphrased text-to-image retrieval where a model aims to return similar results given a pair of paraphrased queries. We train a dual-encoder model starting from a language model pretrained on a large text corpus. Compared to public dual-encoder models such as CLIP and OpenCLIP, the model trained with our best adaptation strategy achieves a significantly higher ranking similarity for paraphrased queries.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) enable embeddings allowing one to adjust semantics over the embedding space using prompts. Traditional evaluation benchmarks rely solely on task metrics that don't particularly measure gaps related to semantic understanding. We propose an intent semantic toolkit that gives a more holistic view of intent embedding models.

  We propose a novel model termed Co-guiding Net, which implements a two-stage framework achieving the mutual guidances between the two tasks. For the first stage, we propose single-task supervised contrastive learning, and for the second stage, we propose co-guiding supervised contrastive learning. Experiment results on multi-intent SLU show that our model outperforms existing models by a large margin.

We demonstrated that the explicit incorporation of the coreference information in fine-tuning stage performed better than the incorporation of the coreference information in training a pre-trained language models.
