  • 2024-03-08, Nikolai Ilinykh: a discussion about studies on language-and-vision and multi-modal models
    • The meeting was around studies that will be included in Nikolai’s thesis.
    • Participants: Nikolai, Simon, Michael, Aram, Staffan.
  • 2024-02-23, Guest: Yasaman Saffari: Reinforcement Learning, dialogue, RL-based dialogue system with structural state representation
    • In my upcoming presentation, I plan to delve into RL-based task-oriented dialogue systems. I will elaborate on various DQN variants within the dialogue system context. Moreover, I aim to showcase the integration of benefits from both value-based and policy-based methods, demonstrating their modification for optimal utilization in dialogue systems. Additionally, I will discuss attentional and graph-based structural state representation within our framework.
