The de facto way of utilizing black-box large language models (LLMs) to perform various downstream tasks is prompting. However, obtaining suitable prompts for specific tasks is still a challenging problem. While existing LLM-based methods demonstrate promising performance in task-oriented dialogue (TOD) task, they often require manual adjustment in prompt selection, or focus solely on dialogue understanding or generation. To address these issues, we propose an adaptive prompt generation framework to fully unleash the potential of LLMs for the comprehensive TOD system. Firstly, we design a trainable slot generator (TSG) that can generate domain and slot information in the belief state, which serves as prior knowledge for subsequent prompt generation. Next, we propose an adaptive prompt generator (APG) that utilizes the prior knowledge to generate prompts for the LLM, deriving the belief state and system response of the dialogue for evaluation. Finally, we evaluate our framework on the MultiWOZ 2.0 dataset. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods. Our code and data will be released.

新闻文本通常会涉及多个地域,主地域则描述了文本舆情内容的地域属性,是进行舆情分析的关键属性。目前深度学习领域针对主地域自动抽取的研究还比较少。基于此,本文构建了一个基于IDLSTM+CRF的主地域抽取系统。该系统通过地名识别、主地域抽取、主地域补全三大模块实现对主地域标签的自动抽取和补全。在公开数据集上的实验结果表明,我们的方法在地名识别任务上要优于BiLSTM+CRF等模型。而对于主地域抽取任务,目前还没有标准的中文主地域评测集合。针对该问题,我们标注并开源了1226条验证集和1500条测试集。最终,我们的主地域抽取系统在两个集合上分别取得了91.7%和84.8%的抽取准确率,并成功运用于线上生产环境。

A Document-Level Neural Machine Translation Model with Dynamic Caching Guided by Theme-Rheme Information

Proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

Research on document-level Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Although the proposed works have proved that the inter-sentence information is helpful for improving the performance of the NMT models, what information should be regarded as context remains ambiguous. To solve this problem, we proposed a novel cache-based document-level NMT model which conducts dynamic caching guided by theme-rheme information. The experiments on NIST evaluation sets demonstrate that our proposed model achieves substantial improvements over the state-of-the-art baseline NMT models. As far as we know, we are the first to introduce theme-rheme theory into the field of machine translation.
