  1. Task-Oriented Dialogue as Dataflow Synthesis (2020 · 121 citations)
    Task-oriented dialogue systems often force a choice between rigid slot-filling states, which are easy to learn but limited, and opaque neural states, which are flexible but hard to train.
  2. Structured Learning for Taxonomy Induction with Belief Propagation (2014 · 84 citations)
    The paper addresses automatic construction of hypernym taxonomies. Given a set of terms, the system must output a full tree in which each term is attached to its parent. Manually built resources such as WordNet have gaps in coverage and are expensive to extend. The authors frame the task as a log-linear factor graph…
