We establish a directed analogue of Chung and Tetali’s isoperimetric inequality for graph products. We use this inequality to obtain new bounds on the query complexity for testing monotonicity of Boolean-valued functions over products of general posets.

Dialog response generation is the task of generating response utterance given a query utterance. Apart from generating relevant and coherent responses, one would like the dialog generation model to generate diverse and informative sentences.

We present TreeGen, an impure functional language designed to express, consume, and validate JSON-like documents, as well as generate text files. The language aims to provide a more reliable and flexible way to create customised Interface Definition Languages, since the current state of the art is implemented via monolithic, ad-hoc codebases which cannot easily be modified.
