DialogAgent: An Auto-engagement Agent for Code Question Answering Data Production

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become increasingly integral to enhancing developer productivity, particularly in code generation, comprehension, and repair tasks. However, fine-tuning these models with high-quality, real-world data is challenging due to privacy concerns and the lack of accessible, labeled datasets. In this paper, we present DialogAgent, an automated tool for generating synthetic training data that closely mimics real developer interactions within Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). DialogAgent enables the production of diverse, high-fidelity query-response pairs by simulating multi-turn dialogues and contextual behaviors observed in real-world programming scenarios. The tool significantly reduces the reliance on manual data generation, increasing efficiency by 4.8 times compared to traditional methods. Our experiments and online deployment demonstrate substantial improvements in model performance for code-related question-answering tasks: the acceptance rate of responses generated by our in-house model is improved by 33%, after training on synthesized data generated by DialogAgent.

AcademicGPT: Empowering Academic Research

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities across various natural language processing tasks. Yet, many of these advanced LLMs are tailored for broad, general-purpose applications. In this technical report, we introduce AcademicGPT, designed specifically to empower academic research. AcademicGPT is a continual training model derived from LLaMA2-70B. Our training corpus mainly consists of academic papers, thesis, content from some academic domain, high-quality Chinese data and others. While it may not be extensive in data scale, AcademicGPT marks our initial venture into a domain-specific GPT tailored for research area. We evaluate AcademicGPT on several established public benchmarks such as MMLU and CEval, as well as on some specialized academic benchmarks like PubMedQA, SCIEval, and our newly-created ComputerScienceQA, to demonstrate its ability from general knowledge ability, to Chinese ability, and to academic ability. Building upon AcademicGPT's foundation model, we also developed several applications catered to the academic area, including General Academic Question Answering, AI-assisted Paper Reading, Paper Review, and AI-assisted Title and Abstract Generation.

BIOS: An Algorithmically Generated Biomedical Knowledge Graph

Biomedical knowledge graphs (BioMedKGs) are essential infrastructures for biomedical and healthcare big data and artificial intelligence (AI), facilitating natural language processing, model development, and data exchange. For many decades, these knowledge graphs have been built via expert curation, which can no longer catch up with the speed of today's AI development, and a transition to algorithmically generated BioMedKGs is necessary. In this work, we introduce the Biomedical Informatics Ontology System (BIOS), the first large scale publicly available BioMedKG that is fully generated by machine learning algorithms. BIOS currently contains 4.1 million concepts, 7.4 million terms in two languages, and 7.3 million relation triplets. We introduce the methodology for developing BIOS, which covers curation of raw biomedical terms, computationally identifying synonymous terms and aggregating them to create concept nodes, semantic type classification of the concepts, relation identification, and biomedical machine translation. We provide statistics about the current content of BIOS and perform preliminary assessment for term quality, synonym grouping, and relation extraction. Results suggest that machine learning-based BioMedKG development is a totally viable solution for replacing traditional expert curation.
