• Abstract summary: Audio Visual Scene-aware Dialog (AVSD) is the task of generating a response for a question with a given scene, video, audio, and the history of previous turns in the dialog. Existing systems for this task employ the transformers or recurrent neural network-based architecture with the encoder-decoder framework. We propose a Multimodal Semantic Transformer Network. It employs a transformer-based architecture with an attention-based word embedding layer that generates words by querying word embeddings.

• Abstract: Audio Visual Scene-aware Dialog (AVSD) is the task of generating a response for a question with a given scene, video, audio, and the history of previous turns in the dialog. Existing systems for this task employ the transformers or recurrent neural network-based architecture with the encoder-decoder framework. Even though these techniques show superior performance for this task, they have significant limitations: the model easily overfits only to memorize the grammatical patterns; the model follows the prior distribution of the vocabularies in a dataset. To alleviate the problems, we propose a Multimodal Semantic Transformer Network. It employs a transformer-based architecture with an attention-based word embedding layer that generates words by querying word embeddings. With this design, our model keeps considering the meaning of the words at the generation stage. The empirical results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model that outperforms most of the previous works for the AVSD task.

  VioLA is a single auto-regressive Transformer decoder-only network that unifies various cross-modal tasks involving speech and text. We first convert all the speech utterances to discrete tokens using an offline neural encoder. We further integrate task IDs (TID) and language IDs (LID) into the proposed model to enhance the modeling capability of handling different languages and tasks.

  We propose an approach to enhance the performance of Question Generation using an encoder-decoder framework. Firstly, we identify the inflected forms of words from the input of encoder, and replace them with the root words. Secondly, we propose to adapt QG as a combination of the following actions in the encode-decoder framework: generating a question word, copying a word from the source sequence or generating a word transformation type.

  We propose a simple yet effective model for robots to solve instruction-following tasks in vision-based environments.

We demonstrate that Hierarchical Hierarchical helps achieve better natural language understanding of the contexts in transformer-based models for task-oriented dialog systems.
