Keynote: Statistical Approaches to Open-domain Spoken Dialogue Systems

Keynote: Graph-based Approaches for Spoken Language Understanding

Keynote Abstract: Current Open Questions for Operational Event Data

In this brief keynote, I will address what I see as five majorissues in terms of development for operational event datasets (that is, event data intended for real time monitoringand forecasting, rather than purely for ac…

Proceedings First Workshop on Causal Reasoning for Embedded and safety-critical Systems Technologies

Formal approaches for automated causality analysis, fault localization, explanation of events, accountability and blaming have been proposed independently by several communities --- in particular, AI, concurrency, model-…

Towards Learning Transferable Conversational Skills using Multi-dimensional Dialogue Modelling

Recent statistical approaches have improved the robustness and scalability of spoken dialogue systems. However, despite recent progress in domain adaptation, their reliance on in-domain data still limits their cross-doma…
