• Abstract summary: Human-assisting systems must take thoughtful, appropriate actions for ambiguous user requests. We develop a model that classifies ambiguous user requests into corresponding system actions. Experiments show that the PU learning method achieved better performance than the general positive/negative learning method.

• Abstract: Human-assisting systems such as dialogue systems must take thoughtful, appropriate actions not only for clear and unambiguous user requests, but also for ambiguous user requests, even if the users themselves are not aware of their potential requirements. To construct such a dialogue agent, we collected a corpus and developed a model that classifies ambiguous user requests into corresponding system actions. In order to collect a high-quality corpus, we asked workers to input antecedent user requests whose pre-defined actions could be regarded as thoughtful. Although multiple actions could be identified as thoughtful for a single user request, annotating all combinations of user requests and system actions is impractical. For this reason, we fully annotated only the test data and left the annotation of the training data incomplete. In order to train the classification model on such training data, we applied the positive/unlabeled (PU) learning method, which assumes that only a part of the data is labeled with positive examples. The experimental results show that the PU learning method achieved better performance than the general positive/negative (PN) learning method to classify thoughtful actions given an ambiguous user request.

• The Art of Saying No: Contextual Noncompliance in Language Models [123.383993700586]
  We introduce a comprehensive taxonomy of contextual noncompliance describing when and how models should not comply with user requests. Our taxonomy spans a wide range of categories including incomplete, unsupported, indeterminate, and humanizing requests. To test noncompliance capabilities of language models, we use this taxonomy to develop a new evaluation suite of 1000 noncompliance prompts.

  Out-of-scope intent detection is of practical importance in task-oriented dialogue systems. We propose a method to train an out-of-scope intent classifier in a fully end-to-end manner by simulating the test scenario in training. We evaluate our method extensively on four benchmark dialogue datasets and observe significant improvements over state-of-the-art approaches.

  We propose Federated User Authentication (FedUA), a framework for privacy-preserving training of machine learning models. FedUA adopts federated learning framework to enable a group of users to jointly train a model without sharing the raw inputs. We show our method is privacy-preserving, scalable with number of users, and allows new users to be added to training without changing the output layer.

  Measuring user satisfaction level is a challenging task, and a critical component in developing large-scale conversational agent systems. Human annotation based approaches are easier to control, but hard to scale. A novel alternative approach is to collect user's direct feedback via a feedback elicitation system embedded to the conversational agent system.

  We propose a new active learning approach that jointly optimize the active learning system (training efficiently) and the user (receiving useful instances) We study our approach in an educational application, which particularly benefits from this technique as the system needs to rapidly learn to predict the appropriateness of an exercise to a particular user. We evaluate multiple learning strategies and user types with data from real users and find that our joint approach better satisfies both objectives when alternative methods lead to many unsuitable exercises for end users.
