Dialogue policy plays an important role in task-oriented spoken dialogue systems. It determines how to respond to users. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches have been widely used for policy optimization. However, these deep models are still challenging for two reasons: first, many DRL-based policies are not sample-efficient; and second, most models do not have the capability of policy transfer between different domains. In this talk, I will introduce our proposed universal framework, AgentGraph, to tackle these two problems. The model AgentGraph is the combination of graph neural network (GNN) based architecture and DRL-based algorithm. It can be regarded as one of the multi-agent reinforcement learning approaches. In addition to the universal dialogue policy AgentGraph, I will also briefly introduce our proposed universal dialogue state tracking models.</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 12.84px;"><br style="font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei UI', Tahoma; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; widows: 1;"></p><div style="font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei UI', Tahoma; orphans: auto; widows: 1;">Bio: Lu Chen obtained his Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2020. Before coming to SJTU, he received a Bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST) in 2013. His research interests include dialogue systems, reinforcement learning, structured deep learning. The goal of his research is to build evolvable and universal conversational agents, which can converse with humans among many domains and improve their performance with various signals. He has authored/co-authored more than 20 journal articles (e.g. IEEE/ACM transactions) and peer-reviewed conference papers (e.g. ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, COLING, ICASSP), one of them was selected as COLING2018 Area Chair Favorites.</div><div><br></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; line-height: 12.84px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18.4px; text-align: justify; font-size: 16px; background-color: transparent;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; font-family: 等线; line-height: 16.1px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 18.4px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;"></span></p></div></div><div class="" style="font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei UI', Tahoma; line-height: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><div class="" style="border-top-width: 0px;"><font color="#ff0000" face="Times" class=""><b class="" style="font-size: 16px;">---李松泽博士报告信息---</b></font></div><div class=""><font face="Times" class="" style="font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></font></div><div class=""></div></div><div class="" style="line-height: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><div class="" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: start; line-height: 12.84px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><font face="Times New Roman"><font class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Title:</span></b><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></font></font><span class="" style="line-height: normal; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei UI', Tahoma; orphans: auto; widows: 1; background-color: transparent;">Nakamoto meets Shannon: </span><span style="line-height: normal; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei UI', Tahoma; orphans: auto; widows: 1; background-color: transparent;">Scaling blockchains using codes</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: start; line-height: 12.84px;"><font class="" face="Times New Roman"><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></span></b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; text-align: start; line-height: 12.84px;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><font face="Times New Roman"><font class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Abstract:</span></b></font></font><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; background-color: snow;">Current blockchain systems do not scale with
the network resources. Sharding, as a promising proposal to achieve horizontal
scalability, fail to maintain security of the system in the presence of
adaptive adversaries. This talk will cover an emerging paradigm of designing
scalable and secure blockchain protocols using error correcting codes.
Specifically, we consider the following two problems 1) transaction
verification, and 2) verifying data availability for light clients. For
transaction verification, we propose PolyShard that creates coded shard ledgers
and input transactions using Lagrange polynomial interpolation. PolyShard
scales system throughput with the network size, while maintaining the security
of verification results via Reed-Solomon decoding. For the problem of verifying
data availability, we propose a novel cryptographic accumulator named Coded
Merkle Tree (CMT) to commit a block. CMT iteratively encodes a block and the
hashes of its chunks using a family of regular LDPC codes, into a constant
number of hash values that are stored in the block header. CMT enables
verifying the availability of a block with constant number of samples, a liner
decoding complexity, and a constant size of fraud proof for incorrect coding.</span></span></p>
