Few-shot Natural Language Generation for Task-Oriented Dialog [PDF]
As a crucial component in task-oriented dialog systems, the Natural Language Generation (NLG) module converts a dialog act represented in a semantic form into a response in natural language. The success of traditional template-based or statistical models

UBAR: Towards Fully End-to-End Task-Oriented Dialog Systems with GPT-2 [PDF]
This paper presents our task-oriented dialog system UBAR which models task-oriented dialogs on a dialog session level. Specifically, UBAR is acquired by fine-tuning the large pre-trained unidirectional language model GPT-2 on the sequence of the entire ...

Learning Discourse-level Diversity for Neural Dialog Models using Conditional Variational Autoencoders [PDF]
While recent neural encoder-decoder models have shown great promise in modeling open-domain conversations, they often generate dull and generic responses.

A Comprehensive Assessment of Dialog Evaluation Metrics [PDF]
Automatic evaluation metrics are a crucial component of dialog systems research. Standard language evaluation metrics are known to be ineffective for evaluating dialog. As such, recent research has proposed a number of novel, dialog-specific metrics that

Towards Knowledge-Based Recommender Dialog System [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end framework called KBRD, which stands for Knowledge-Based Recommender Dialog System. It integrates the recommender system and the dialog generation system.

Towards Identifying Social Bias in Dialog Systems: Framework, Dataset, and Benchmark [PDF]
The research of open-domain dialog systems has been greatly prospered by neural models trained on large-scale corpora, however, such corpora often introduce various safety problems (e.g., offensive languages, biases, and toxic behaviors) that ...

INSPIRED: Toward Sociable Recommendation Dialog Systems [PDF]
In recommendation dialogs, humans commonly disclose their preference and make recommendations in a friendly manner. However, this is a challenge when developing a sociable recommendation dialog system, due to the lack of dialog dataset annotated with ...
