Learning to execute or ask clarification questions

2021-11-16 · ACL ARR November 2021 11 · Anonymous

Collaborative tasks are ubiquitous activities where a form of communication is required in order to reach a joint goal. Collaborative building is one of such tasks. To this end, we wish to develop an intelligent builder agent in a simulated building environment (Minecraft) that can build whatever users wish to build by just talking to the agent. However, in order to achieve this goal, such agents need to be able to take the initiative by asking clarification questions when further information is needed. Existing work on Minecraft Corpus Dataset only learned to execute instructions neglecting the importance of asking for clarifications. In this paper, we extend the Minecraft Corpus Dataset by annotating all builder utterances into eight types, including clarification questions, and propose a new builder agent model capable of determining when to ask or execute instructions. Experimental results show that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on the collaborative building task with a substantial improvement. We also provide baselines for the new tasks, learning to ask and the joint tasks, which consists in solving both collaborating building and learning to ask tasks jointly.

Referential ambiguity and clarification requests: comparing human and LLM behaviour

2025-07-14 · Chris Madge, Matthew Purver, Massimo Poesio arxiv

In this work we examine LLMs' ability to ask clarification questions in task-oriented dialogues that follow the asynchronous instruction-giver/instruction-follower format. We present a new corpus that combines two existi…

Controlling the Specificity of Clarification Question Generation

2019-08-01 · WS 2019 8 · Yang Trista Cao, Sudha Rao, Hal Daum{\'e} III

Unlike comprehension-style questions, clarification questions look for some missing information in a given context. However, without guidance, neural models for question generation, similar to dialog generation models, l…

CLAM: Selective Clarification for Ambiguous Questions with Generative Language Models

2022-12-15 · Lorenz Kuhn, Yarin Gal, Sebastian Farquhar

Users often ask dialogue systems ambiguous questions that require clarification. We show that current language models rarely ask users to clarify ambiguous questions and instead provide incorrect answers. To address this…

Answer-based Adversarial Training for Generating Clarification Questions

2019-04-04 · NAACL 2019 6 · Sudha Rao, Hal Daumé III

We present an approach for generating clarification questions with the goal of eliciting new information that would make the given textual context more complete. We propose that modeling hypothetical answers (to clarific…
