Abstract: A multi-tenant system performs custom configuration of a tenant-specific chatbot to process and act upon natural language requests. The multi-tenant system configures the tenant-specific chatbots without requiring tenant-specific training. The multi-tenant system providing a user interface for configuring a tenant-specific set of permitted actions. The multi-tenant system determines a set of example phrases for each of the selected permitted actions. The multi-tenant system receives a natural language request from a user and identifies the action that the user wants to perform. The multi-tenant system uses a neural network to compare the natural language request with example phrases to identify an example phrase that matches the natural language request. The multi-tenant system performs the action corresponding to the matching example phrase.

Abstract: Systems and methods for unifying question answering and text classification via span extraction include a preprocessor for preparing a source text and an auxiliary text based on a task type of a natural language processing task, an encoder for receiving the source text and the auxiliary text from the preprocessor and generating an encoded representation of a combination of the source text and the auxiliary text, and a span-extractive decoder for receiving the encoded representation and identifying a span of text within the source text that is a result of the NLP task. The task type is one of entailment, classification, or regression. In some embodiments, the source text includes one or more of text received as input when the task type is entailment, a list of classifications when the task type is entailment or classification, or a list of similarity options when the task type is regression.

Abstract: Approaches for multitask learning as question answering include a method for training that includes receiving a plurality of training samples including training samples from a plurality of task types, presenting the training samples to a neural model to generate an answer, determining an error between the generated answer and the natural language ground truth answer for each training sample presented, and adjusting parameters of the neural model based on the error. Each of the training samples includes a natural language context, question, and ground truth answer. An order in which the training samples are presented to the neural model includes initially selecting the training samples according to a first training strategy and switching to selecting the training samples according to a second training strategy. In some embodiments the first training strategy is a sequential training strategy and the second training strategy is a joint training strategy.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for training a sequential recommendation model. A system receives a plurality of user behavior sequences, and encodes those sequences into a plurality of user interest representations. The system predicts a next item using a sequential recommendation model, producing a probability distribution over a set of items. The next interacted item in a sequence is selected as a positive sample, and a negative sample is selected based on the generated probability distribution. The positive and negative samples are used to compute a contrastive loss and update the sequential recommendation model.

Abstract: An analytics system uses one or more machine-learned models to predict a hormone receptor status from a H&E stain image. The system partitions H&E stain images each into a plurality of image tiles. Bags of tiles are created through sampling of the image tiles. The analytics system trains one or more machine-learned models with training H&E stain images having a positive or negative receptor status. The analytics system generates, via a tile featurization model, a tile feature vector for each image tile a test bag for a test H&E stain image. The analytics system generates, via an attention model, an aggregate feature vector for the test bag by aggregating the tile feature vectors of the test bag, wherein an attention weight is determined for each tile feature vector. The analytics system predicts a hormone receptor status by applying a prediction model to the aggregate feature vector for the test bag.

Abstract: Approaches for natural language processing include a multi-layer encoder for encoding words from a context and words from a question in parallel, a multi-layer decoder for decoding the encoded context and the encoded question, a pointer generator for generating distributions over the words from the context, the words from the question, and words in a vocabulary based on an output from the decoder, and a switch. The switch generates a weighting of the distributions over the words from the context, the words from the question, and the words in the vocabulary, generates a composite distribution based on the weighting of the distribution over the first words from the context, the distribution over the second words from the question, and the distribution over the words in the vocabulary, and selects words for inclusion in an answer using the composite distribution.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to pre-training a transformer model using more parameters for sophisticated patterns (PSP++). The transformer model is divided into a held-out model and a main model. A forward pass and a backward pass are performed on the held-out model, where the forward pass determines self-attention hidden states of the held-out model and the backward pass determines loss of the held-out model. A forward pass on the main model is performed to determine a self-attention hidden states of the main model. The self-attention hidden states of the main model are concatenated with the self-attention hidden states of the held-out model. A backward pass is performed on the main model to determine a loss of the main model. The parameters of the held-out model are updated to reflect the loss of the held-out model and parameters of the main model are updated to reflect the loss of the main model.
