124 - Semantic Machines and Task-Oriented Dialog, with Jayant Krishnamurthy and Hao Fang - a podcast by Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence

We invited Jayant Krishnamurthy and Hao Fang, researchers at Microsoft Semantic Machines to discuss their platform for building task-oriented dialog systems, and their recent TACL paper on the topic. The paper introduces a new formalism for task-oriented dialog to effectively handle references and revisions in complex dialog, and a large realistic dataset that uses this formalism.
