• Abstract: We introduce ADAPQUEST, a software tool written in Java for the development of adaptive questionnaires based on Bayesian networks. Adaptiveness is intended here as the dynamical choice of the question sequence on the basis of an evolving model of the skill level of the test taker. Bayesian networks offer a flexible and highly interpretable framework to describe such testing process, especially when coping with multiple skills. ADAPQUEST embeds dedicated elicitation strategies to simplify the elicitation of the questionnaire parameters. An application of this tool for the diagnosis of mental disorders is also discussed together with some implementation details.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (DA) consists of adapting a model trained on a labeled source domain to perform well on an unlabeled target domain with some data distribution shift. We propose a framework to evaluate DA methods and present a fair evaluation of existing shallow algorithms, including reweighting, mapping, and subspace alignment. Our benchmark highlights the importance of realistic validation and provides practical guidance for real-life applications.

  We propose a semi-supervised learning framework -- SemiDQG -- to improve model performance with unlabeled conversations. We first apply a similarity-based query selection strategy to select high-quality RA-generated pseudo queries. We adopt the REINFORCE algorithm to further enhance QP, with RA-provided rewards as fine-grained training signals.

  In this work, we present Selection of Exmplars for hybrid Reasoning (SEER), a novel method for selecting a set of exemplars that is both representative and diverse. The effectiveness of SEER is demonstrated on FinQA and TAT-QA, two real-world benchmarks for HybridQA, where it outperforms previous exemplar selection methods.

  We introduce four self-supervised tasks including next session prediction, utterance restoration, incoherence detection and consistency discrimination. We jointly train the PLM-based response selection model with these auxiliary tasks in a multi-task manner. Experiment results indicate that the proposed auxiliary self-supervised tasks bring significant improvement for multi-turn response selection.
