A question answering (QA) system is a type of conversational AI that generates natural language answers to questions posed by human users. QA systems often form the backbone of interactive dialogue systems, and have been studied extensively for a wide variety of tasks ranging from restaurant recommendations to medical diagnostics. Dramatic progress has been made in recent years, especially from the use of encoder-decoder neural architectures trained with big data input. In this paper, we take initial steps to bringing state-of-the-art neural QA technologies to Software Engineering applications by designing a context-based QA system for basic questions about subroutines. We curate a training dataset of 10.9 million question/context/answer tuples based on rules we extract from recent empirical studies. Then, we train a custom neural QA model with this dataset and evaluate the model in a study with professional programmers. We demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and lay the groundwork for its use in eventual dialogue systems for software engineering.

Taking an image and question as the input of our method, it can output the text-based answer of the query question about the given image, so called Visual Question Answering (VQA). There are two main modules in our algorithm. Given a natural language
question about an image, the first module takes the question as input and then outputs the basic questions of the main given question. The second module takes the main question, image and these basic questions as input and then outputs the text-based answer of the main question. We formulate the basic questions generation problem as a LASSO optimization problem, and also propose a criterion about how to exploit these basic questions to help answer main question. Our method is evaluated on the challenging VQA dataset and yields state-of-the-art accuracy, 60.34% in open-ended task.
Source code summarization of a subroutine is the task of writing a short, natural language description of that subroutine. The description usually serves in documentation aimed at programmers, where even brief phrase (e.g. compresses data to a zip fi
le) can help readers rapidly comprehend what a subroutine does without resorting to reading the code itself. Techniques based on neural networks (and encoder-decoder model designs in particular) have established themselves as the state-of-the-art. Yet a problem widely recognized with these models is that they assume the information needed to create a summary is present within the code being summarized itself - an assumption which is at odds with program comprehension literature. Thus a current research frontier lies in the question of encoding source code context into neural models of summarization. In this paper, we present a project-level encoder to improve models of code summarization. By project-level, we mean that we create a vectorized representation of selected code files in a software project, and use that representation to augment the encoder of state-of-the-art neural code summarization techniques. We demonstrate how our encoder improves several existing models, and provide guidelines for maximizing improvement while controlling time and resource costs in model size.
We study calibration in question answering, estimating whether model correctly predicts answer for each question. Unlike prior work which mainly rely on the models confidence score, our calibrator incorporates information about the input example (e.g
., question and the evidence context). Together with data augmentation via back translation, our simple approach achieves 5-10% gains in calibration accuracy on reading comprehension benchmarks. Furthermore, we present the first calibration study in the open retrieval setting, comparing the calibration accuracy of retrieval-based span prediction models and answer generation models. Here again, our approach shows consistent gains over calibrators relying on the model confidence. Our simple and efficient calibrator can be easily adapted to many tasks and model architectures, showing robust gains in all settings.
Is it possible to develop an AI Pathologist to pass the board-certified examination of the American Board of Pathology? To achieve this goal, the first step is to create a visual question answering (VQA) dataset where the AI agent is presented with a
pathology image together with a question and is asked to give the correct answer. Our work makes the first attempt to build such a dataset. Different from creating general-domain VQA datasets where the images are widely accessible and there are many crowdsourcing workers available and capable of generating question-answer pairs, developing a medical VQA dataset is much more challenging. First, due to privacy concerns, pathology images are usually not publicly available. Second, only well-trained pathologists can understand pathology images, but they barely have time to help create datasets for AI research. To address these challenges, we resort to pathology textbooks and online digital libraries. We develop a semi-automated pipeline to extract pathology images and captions from textbooks and generate question-answer pairs from captions using natural language processing. We collect 32,799 open-ended questions from 4,998 pathology images where each question is manually checked to ensure correctness. To our best knowledge, this is the first dataset for pathology VQA. Our dataset will be released publicly to promote research in medical VQA.
We propose a novel video understanding task by fusing knowledge-based and video question answering. First, we introduce KnowIT VQA, a video dataset with 24,282 human-generated question-answer pairs about a popular sitcom. The dataset combines visual,
textual and temporal coherence reasoning together with knowledge-based questions, which need of the experience obtained from the viewing of the series to be answered. Second, we propose a video understanding model by combining the visual and textual video content with specific knowledge about the show. Our main findings are: (i) the incorporation of knowledge produces outstanding improvements for VQA in video, and (ii) the performance on KnowIT VQA still lags well behind human accuracy, indicating its usefulness for studying current video modelling limitations.
