Conversational Graph Grounded Policy Learning for Open-Domain Conversation Generation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing word-level policy models that learn dialog policy and language generation from dialog corpora often lead to degeneration issues where the utterances become ungrammatical or repetitive. |
| Approach: | They propose to represent prior dialog transitions as a graph and learn a CG grounded dialog policy that can foster a more coherent and controllable dialog. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is able to learn dialog policy in open-domain multi-turn conversation. |

User Memory Reasoning for Conversational Recommendation (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing systems that update user preferences via asking relevant questions are unable to dynamically maintain and reason over their knowledge for current (and possibly future) recommendations. |
| Approach: | They propose a new memory graph (MG) -> Conversational Recommendation parallel corpus with 7K+ human-to-human role-playing dialogs and a graph-based reasoning model that updates MG from unstructured utterances and predicts optimal dialog policies based on updated MG. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on a large-scale user memory bootstrapped from real-world user scenarios and can be easily updated from unstructured utterances. |
