• Abstract summary: Business-specific Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) retrieval in task-oriented dialog systems poses unique challenges. We evaluate performance for such Business FAQ using query-Question (q-Q) similarity and few-shot intent detection techniques. We propose a novel approach to scale multi-tenant FAQ applications in real-world context by contrastive fine-tuning of the last layer in sentence Bi-Encoders along with tenant-specific weight switching.

• Abstract: Business-specific Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) retrieval in task-oriented dialog systems poses unique challenges vis-\`a-vis community based FAQs. Each FAQ question represents an intent which is usually an umbrella term for many related user queries. We evaluate performance for such Business FAQs both with standard FAQ retrieval techniques using query-Question (q-Q) similarity and few-shot intent detection techniques. Implementing a real world solution for FAQ retrieval in order to support multiple tenants (FAQ sets) entails optimizing speed, accuracy and cost. We propose a novel approach to scale multi-tenant FAQ applications in real-world context by contrastive fine-tuning of the last layer in sentence Bi-Encoders along with tenant-specific weight switching.

• Beyond-RAG: Question Identification and Answer Generation in Real-Time Conversations [0.0]
  In customer contact centers, human agents often struggle with long average handling times (AHT) We propose a decision support system that can look beyond RAG by first identifying customer questions in real time. If the query matches an FAQ, the system retrieves the answer directly from the FAQ database; otherwise, it generates answers via RAG.

  We present CLARINET, a system that asks informative clarification questions by choosing questions whose answers would maximize certainty in the correct candidate. Our approach works by augmenting a large language model (LLM) to condition on a retrieval distribution, finetuning end-to-end to generate the question that would have maximized the rank of the true candidate at each turn.

  Multi-hop Question Answering over Knowledge Graph(KGQA) aims to find the answer entities that are multiple hops away from the topic entities mentioned in a natural language question. We propose UniKGQA, a novel approach for multi-hop KGQA task, by unifying retrieval and reasoning in both model architecture and parameter learning.

  We propose a framework with Multifaceted Improvements for Conversational open-domain Question Answering (MICQA) Firstly, the proposed KL-divergence based regularization is able to lead to a better question understanding for retrieval and answer reading. Second, the added post-ranker module can push more relevant passages to the top placements and be selected for reader with a two-aspect constrains. Third, the well designed curriculum learning strategy effectively narrows the gap between the golden passage settings of training and inference, and encourages the reader to find true answer without the golden passage assistance.

AISO outperforms all baseline methods with predefined strategies in terms of both retrieval and answer evaluations.
