Domain Adaptive Dialog Generation via Meta Learning
Domain adaptation is an essential task in dialog system building because
there are so many new dialog tasks created for different needs every day.
Collecting and annotating training data for these new tasks is costly since it
involves real user interactions. We propose a domain adaptive dialog generation
method based on meta-learning (DAML). DAML is an end-to-end trainable dialog
system model that learns from multiple rich-resource tasks and then adapts to
new domains with minimal training samples. We train a dialog system model using
multiple rich-resource single-domain dialog data by applying the model-agnostic
meta-learning algorithm to dialog domain. The model is capable of learning a
competitive dialog system on a new domain with only a few training examples in
an efficient manner. The two-step gradient updates in DAML enable the model to
learn general features across multiple tasks. We evaluate our method on a
simulated dialog dataset and achieve state-of-the-art performance, which is
generalizable to new tasks.Comment: Accepted as a long paper in ACL 201
A Student-Teacher Architecture for Dialog Domain Adaptation under the Meta-Learning Setting
Numerous new dialog domains are being created every day while collecting data
for these domains is extremely costly since it involves human interactions.
Therefore, it is essential to develop algorithms that can adapt to different
domains efficiently when building data-driven dialog models. The most recent
researches on domain adaption focus on giving the model a better
initialization, rather than optimizing the adaptation process. We propose an
efficient domain adaptive task-oriented dialog system model, which incorporates
a meta-teacher model to emphasize the different impacts between generated
tokens with respect to the context. We first train our base dialog model and
meta-teacher model adversarially in a meta-learning setting on rich-resource
domains. The meta-teacher learns to quantify the importance of tokens under
different contexts across different domains. During adaptation, the
meta-teacher guides the dialog model to focus on important tokens in order to
achieve better adaptation efficiency. We evaluate our model on two multi-domain
datasets, MultiWOZ and Google Schema-Guided Dialogue, and achieve
state-of-the-art performance.Comment: Accepted by AAAI 202

The title compound, C4H12NO3
+·C2HCl2O2
−, was obtained from dichloroÂacetic acid and 2-amino-2-(hydroxyÂmethÂyl)propane-1,3-diol. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are connected by interÂmolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming a two-dimensional array parallel to (001). The crystal used for analysis was a merohedral twin, as indicated by the Flack parameter of 0.67 (6)

Tidal mixing in the South China Sea : an estimate based on the internal tide energetics
Author Posting. © American Meteorological Society, 2016. This article is posted here by permission of American Meteorological Society for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Journal of Physical Oceanography 46 (2016): 107–124, doi:10.1175/JPO-D-15-0082.1.By taking into account the contributions of both locally and remotely generated internal tides, the tidal mixing in the Luzon Strait (LS) and the South China Sea (SCS) is investigated through internal-tide simulation and energetics analysis. A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic high-resolution model driven by four primary tidal constituents (M2, S2, K1, and O1) is used for the internal-tide simulation. The baroclinic energy budget analysis reveals that the internal tides radiated from the LS are the dominant energy source for the tidal dissipation in the SCS. In the LS, the estimated depth-integrated turbulent kinetic energy dissipation exceeds O(1) W m−2 atop the two subsurface ridges, with a dissipation rate of >O(10−7) W kg−1 and diapycnal diffusivity of ~O(10−2) m2 s−1. In the SCS, the most intense turbulence occurs in the deep-water basin with a dissipation rate of O(10−8–10−6) W kg−1 and diapycnal diffusivity of O(10−3–10−1) m2 s−1 within the ~2000-m water column above the seafloor as well as in the shelfbreak region with a dissipation rate of O(10−7–10−6) W kg−1 and diapycnal diffusivity of O(10−4–10−3) m2 s−1. These estimated values are consistent with observations reported in previous studies and are at least one order of magnitude larger than those based solely on locally generated internal tides.This work is jointly supported by the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (XDA11010304, XDA11010204), the MOST of China (2014CB953904), the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (SQ201305), and National Natural Science Foundation of China (41376021, 41306013).

Dynamical transitions in scalarization and descalarization through black hole accretion
We present the first fully nonlinear study on the accretion of scalar fields
onto a seed black hole in anti-de Sitter spacetime in Einstein-Maxwell-scalar
theory. Intrinsic critical phenomena in the dynamical transition between the
bald and scalarized black holes are disclosed. In scalarizations, the
transition is discontinuous and a metastable black hole acts as an attractor at
the threshold. We construct a new physical mechanism to dynamically descalarize
an isolated scalarized black hole. The first results on critical phenomena in
descalarizations are revealed. The dynamical descalarizations can be either
discontinuous or continuous at the threshold, distinguished by whether or not
an attractor appears
