- Abstract summary: We introduce a new task and dataset for automatically generating To-Do items from emails where the sender has promised to perform an action.
We design a two-stage process leveraging recent advances in neural text generation and sequence-to-sequence learning.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to address the problem of composing To-Do items from emails.

- Abstract: Intelligent features in email service applications aim to increase
productivity by helping people organize their folders, compose their emails and
respond to pending tasks. In this work, we explore a new application,
Smart-To-Do, that helps users with task management over emails. We introduce a
new task and dataset for automatically generating To-Do items from emails where
the sender has promised to perform an action. We design a two-stage process
leveraging recent advances in neural text generation and sequence-to-sequence
learning, obtaining BLEU and ROUGE scores of 0:23 and 0:63 for this task. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to address the problem of
composing To-Do items from emails.

We introduce Adaptive Procedural Task Generation (APT-Gen) to facilitate reinforcement learning in hard-exploration problems.
At the heart of our approach is a task generator that learns to create tasks from a parameterized task space via a black-box procedural generation module.
To enable curriculum learning in the absence of a direct indicator of learning progress, we propose to train the task generator by balancing the agent's performance in the generated tasks and the similarity to the target tasks.

Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is an emerging technology with a primary goal to assist the knowledge worker by taking care of repetitive, routine and low-cognitive tasks.
We tackle a challenge of implementing an IPA conversational assistant in a real-world industrial setting with a lack of structured training data.
Our proposed system brings two significant benefits: First, it reduces repetitive and time-consuming activities and, therefore, allows workers to focus on more intelligent processes.
