• Title: Smart To-Do : Automatic Generation of To-Do Items from Emails
• 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.

  The main objective of this paper is to explore an alternative mechanism that is to automate the task of dispatching emails based on their contents to the respective WhatsApp groups of students of various semesters of programs in an engineering college.<n>The dispatcher system is built using agents querying large language models (LLMs) to enable it to analyze the contents of emails and route them to the relevant groups of students for their information and consumption.<n>The proposed system does not rely on labelled datasets and provides several benefits, including enhanced productivity and a reduction in the cognitive load associated with reading emails.

  E-commerce marketplaces make use of a number of marketing channels like emails, push notifications, etc. to reach their users and stimulate purchases.<n> Personalized emails especially are a popular touch point for marketers to inform users of latest items in stock, especially for those who stopped visiting the marketplace.<n>Such emails contain personalized recommendations tailored to each user's interests, enticing users to buy relevant items.<n>A common limitation of these emails is that the primary entry point, the title of the email, tends to follow fixed templates, failing to inspire enough interest in the contents.

  This work explores conversational task transfer by introducing FETA: a benchmark for few-sample task transfer in open-domain dialogue. FETA contains two underlying sets of conversations upon which there are 10 and 7 tasks annotated, enabling the study of intra-dataset task transfer. We utilize three popular language models and three learning algorithms to analyze the transferability between 132 source-target task pairs.

  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.
