2023This work focuses on modelling a speaker’s accent that does not have a dedicated text-to-speech (TTS) frontend, includ-ing a grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) module. Prior work on modelling accents assumes a phonetic transcription is avail-able for the target accent, which might not be the case for low-resource, regional accents. In our work, we propose an approach whereby we first augment the target accent data

ECIR 20232023AI assistants are gradually becoming embedded in our lives, utilized for everyday tasks like shopping or music. In addition to the everyday utilization of AI assistants, many users engage them with playful shopping requests, gauging their ability to understand – or simply seeking amusement. However, these requests are often not being responded to in the same playful manner, causing dissatisfaction and even

2023This work focuses on in-context data augmenta-tion for intent detection. Having found that aug-mentation via in-context prompting of large pre-trained language models (PLMs) alone does not improve performance, we introduce a novel approach based on PLMs and pointwise V-information (PVI), a metric that can measure the usefulness of a datapoint for training a model. Our method first fine-tunes a PLM on a

Customers search for movie and series titles released across the world on streaming services like primevideo.com (PV), netflix.com (Netflix). In non-English speaking countries like India, Nepal and many others, the regional titles are transliterated from native language to English and are being searched in English. Given that there can be multiple transliterations possible for almost all the titles, searching

Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence2023Communication is a dynamic process through which interlocutors adapt to each other. In the development of conversational agents, this core aspect has been put aside for several years since the main challenge was to obtain conversational neural models able to produce utterances and dialogues that at least at the surface level are human-like. Now that this milestone has been achieved, the importance of paying
