Determining linguistic predictor for the classification of subjective cognitive impairment and mild cognitive impairment using machine learning
(2020-09-01)Introduction Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a neurological condition characterized by cognitive decline greater than expected for an individual's age and education level. Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) is a ... -
DIALOGUE STRATEGIES FOR VOCABULARY LEARNING User Initiative in Dialogue Systems for Second Language Learning
(2022-10-06)When building efficient dialogue systems, a major challenge is recovering from miscommunication. Analyzing human-human interaction leads to discovering repair strategies that contribute towards conversational systems ... -
Don't Mention the Norm
(2024-06-17)Reporting bias (the human tendency to not mention obvious or redundant information) and social bias (societal attitudes toward specific demographic groups) have both been shown to propagate from human text data to language ... -
EMBODIED QUESTION ANSWERING IN ROBOTIC ENVIRONMENT Automatic generation of a synthetic question-answer data-set
(2021-11-12)Embodied question answering is the task of asking a robot about objects in a 3D environment. The robot has to navigate the environment, find the entities in question, and then stop to answer the question. The answering ... -
EMERGENCE OF REFERRING EXPRESSIONS THROUGH LANGUAGE GAMES
(2024-10-25)There has been a recent focus on how neural agents in language games ground referring expressions in visual 3D-scenes. This thesis explores when referring expressions emerge and if they align with referring expression ... -
EVALUATING CONFIDENCE ESTIMATION IN NLU FOR DIALOGUE SYSTEMS
(2022-06-20)Background: Natural Language Understanding (NLU) is an important component in Dialogue Systems (DS) which makes the utterances of humans understandable by machines. A central aspect of NLU is intent classification. In ... -
