• Abstract: In this paper we exploit cross-lingual models to enable dialogue act recognition for specific tasks with a small number of annotations. We design a transfer learning approach for dialogue act recognition and validate it on two different target languages and domains. We compute dialogue turn embeddings with both a CNN and multi-head self-attention model and show that the best results are obtained by combining all sources of transferred information. We further demonstrate that the proposed methods significantly outperform related cross-lingual DA recognition approaches.

  We present a novel approach leveraging the robust reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to generate precise dialogue-associated visual descriptors. Experiments conducted on benchmark data validate the effectiveness of our proposed approach in deriving concise and accurate visual descriptors. Our findings demonstrate the method's generalizability across diverse visual cues, various LLMs, and different datasets.

  We propose a novel "Self-Explanation" prompting strategy to enhance the comprehension abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) This task-agnostic approach requires the model to analyze each dialogue utterance before task execution, thereby improving performance across various dialogue-centric tasks. Experimental results from six benchmark datasets confirm that our method consistently outperforms other zero-shot prompts and matches or exceeds the efficacy of few-shot prompts.

• A Bi-directional Multi-hop Inference Model for Joint Dialog Sentiment Classification and Act Recognition [25.426172735931463]
  The joint task of Dialog Sentiment Classification (DSC) and Act Recognition (DAR) aims to predict the sentiment label and act label for each utterance in a dialog simultaneously. We propose a Bi-directional Multi-hop Inference Model (BMIM) that iteratively extract and integrate rich sentiment and act clues in a bi-directional manner. BMIM outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by at least 2.6% on F1 score in DAR and 1.4% on F1 score in DSC.

Experimental results on datasets of different downstream tasks demonstrate the universality and effectiveness of our BiDeN.

• Filling the Gap of Utterance-aware and Speaker-aware Representation for Multi-turn Dialogue [76.88174667929665]
  A multi-turn dialogue is composed of multiple utterances from two or more different speaker roles. In the existing retrieval-based multi-turn dialogue modeling, the pre-trained language models (PrLMs) as encoder represent the dialogues coarsely. We propose a novel model to fill such a gap by modeling the effective utterance-aware and speaker-aware representations entailed in a dialogue history.

  We present the first human-annotated dialogue-based relation extraction (RE) dataset DialogRE. We argue that speaker-related information plays a critical role in the proposed task, based on an analysis of similarities and differences between dialogue-based and traditional RE tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that a speaker-aware extension on the best-performing model leads to gains in both the standard and conversational evaluation settings.
