Active learning (AL) is a framework that attempts to reduce the cost of annotating training material for statistical learning methods. While a lot of papers have been presented on...
Tone-enhanced, generalized character posterior probability (GCPP), a generalized form of posterior probability at subword (Chinese character) level, is proposed as a rescoring met...
We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of the...
