ESPnet-SDS: Unified Toolkit and Demo for Spoken Dialogue Systems

NAACL 2025system demonstrations

Advancements in audio foundation models (FMs) have fueled interest in end-to-end (E2E) spoken dialogue systems, but different web interfaces for each system makes it challenging to compare and contrast them effectively. Motivated by this, we introduce an open-source, user-friendly toolkit designed t…

Efficient Constituency Tree based Encoding for Natural Language to Bash Translation

NAACL 2022long

Bash is a Unix command language used for interacting with the Operating System. Recent works on natural language to Bash translation have made significant advances, but none of the previous methods utilize the problem’s inherent structure. We identify this structure andpropose a Segmented Invocation…
