• Abstract: We introduce the Minecraft Dialogue Corpus with Reference (MDC-R). MDC-R is a new language resource that supplements the original Minecraft Dialogue Corpus (MDC) with expert annotations of anaphoric and deictic reference. MDC's task-orientated, multi-turn, situated dialogue in a dynamic environment has motivated multiple annotation efforts, owing to the interesting linguistic phenomena that this setting gives rise to. We believe it can serve as a valuable resource when annotated with reference, too. Here, we discuss our method of annotation and the resulting corpus, and provide both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis of the data. Furthermore, we carry out a short experiment demonstrating the usefulness of our corpus for referring expression comprehension.

  We introduce the Knowledge-Enhanced Entity Representation Learning (KERL) framework to improve the semantic understanding of entities for Conversational recommender systems. KERL uses a knowledge graph and a pre-trained language model to improve the semantic understanding of entities. KERL achieves state-of-the-art results in both recommendation and response generation tasks.

  We propose a benchmark that can evaluate intra-sentence discourse properties across a diverse set of NLP tasks. Disco-Bench consists of 9 document-level testsets in the literature domain, which contain rich discourse phenomena. For linguistic analysis, we also design a diagnostic test suite that can examine whether the target models learn discourse knowledge.

  This work introduces MTCue, a novel neural machine translation (NMT) framework that interprets all context (including discrete variables) as text. MTCue learns an abstract representation of context, enabling transferability across different data settings. MTCue significantly outperforms a "tagging" baseline at translating English text.

We investigate the similarities and differences between the discourse structures of source and target languages. We discover that MT outputs differ fundamentally from human translations in terms of their latent discourse structures.

We propose two evaluation tasks to evaluate different machine learning based dialogue models, and further propose a novel coreference resolution model GNNCoref for the graph-based coreference resolution task.
