ServiceNow Research spotlight: Papers accepted at ACL 2022

The 60th annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics , ACL 2022, will take place in Dublin, Ireland, from May 22-27, 2022. ACL is the premier international scientific and professional society for people working on computational problems involving human language, a field often referred to as either computational linguistics or natural language processing (NLP).

At ServiceNow Research, the Human Machine Interaction Through Language team (HMITL) works on advancing AI technology to solve language-related questions. We are excited to announce that, in collaboration with other experts in the field, many HMITL researchers will present their work during the ACL 2022 conference.

Papers accepted to the main conference:

• Compositional Generalization in Dependency Parsing (Emily Goodwin,?Siva Reddy,?Timothy J. O’Donnell,?Dzmitry Bahdanau) (PDF )
• LAGr: Labeling Aligned Graphs for Improving Systematic Generalization in Semantic Parsing (Dora Jambor,?Dzmitry Bahdanau) (PDF )
• The Power of Prompt Tuning for Low-Resource Semantic Parsing (Nathan Schucher,?Siva Reddy,?Harm de Vries) (PDF )
• TopiOCQA: Open-domain Conversational Question Answering with Topic Switching (Vaibhav Adlakha,?Shehzaad Dhuliawala,?Kaheer Suleman,?Harm de Vries,?Siva Reddy) (PDF ) - We are excited to announce that this paper will also be published in Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, an ACL-sponsored journal published by MIT Press!

The following paper will be presented at the 4th Workshop on NLP for Conversational AI :

• Data Augmentation for Intent Classification with Off-the-shelf Large Language Models (Gaurav Sahu, Pau Rodriguez, Parmida Atighhehchian, Issam H. Laradji, David Vazquez, Dzmitry Bahdanau) (PDF )

In addition to the main conference that will be held from May 23-25, ACL will host an exciting line-up of tutorials (May 22) as well as workshops and co-located events (May 26-27).
