This makes their behaviour hard to steer or inspect, and reinforcement learning tends to collapse their language into repetitive or ungrammatical output. The authors separate the two concerns with a three-part pipeline: 2. **[Constrained Decoding for Neural NLG from Compositional Representations in Task-Oriented Dialogue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/balakrishnan-2019-constrained-decoding-neural-nlg-compositional/)** *(2019 · 132 citations)* Neural sequence-to-sequence generators for task-oriented dialogue usually take flat slot-value meaning representations (MRs) as input. ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Decoupling Strategy and Generation in Negotiation Dialogues](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/he-2018-decoupling-strategy-generation-negotiation-dialogues/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**He He, Derek Chen, Anusha Balakrishnan, et al.*2018 · 233 citations* 2. **[Constrained Decoding for Neural NLG from Compositional Representations in Task-Oriented Dialogue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/balakrishnan-2019-constrained-decoding-neural-nlg-compositional/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Anusha Balakrishnan, Jinfeng Rao, Kartikeya Upasani, et al.*2019 · 132 citations* 3. **[A Tree-to-Sequence Model for Neural NLG in Task-Oriented Dialog ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W19-8611/) Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Natural Language Generation · no summary yet**Jinfeng Rao et al.*2019 · 27 citations* 4. **[The OSU/Facebook Realizer for SRST 2019: Seq2Seq Inflection and Serialized Tree2Tree Linearization ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D19-6309/) Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Multilingual Surface Realisation (MSR 2019) · no summary yet**Kartikeya Upasani et al.*2019* ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Derek Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/derek-chen/) - [He He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/he-he/) - [Jinfeng Rao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinfeng-rao/) - [Kartikeya Upasani](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kartikeya-upasani/) - [Michael White](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michael-white/) - [Percy Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/percy-liang/) - [Rajen Subba](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rajen-subba/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2019/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2018/) - Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Natural Language Generation - Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Multilingual Surface Realisation (MSR 2019) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 179 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [18 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anusha-balakrishnan/cited-by/).
