GoChat: Goal-oriented Chatbots with Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 43rd International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval, 2020
A chatbot that converses like a human should be goal-oriented (i.e., be purposeful in conversation), which is beyond language generation. However, existing dialogue systems often heavily rely on cumbersome hand-crafted rules or costly labelled datasets to reach the goals.
