Challenge: Existing evaluation methods for dialogue systems rely on human judges to label quality of generated text.
Approach: They propose a machine learning approach to reduce the effort of human evaluation by learning the human judgment on comparing two generative dialogue systems.
Outcome: The proposed method reduces the effort of human evaluation by learning which generative models is better in each dialog context.

Designing Precise and Robust Dialogue Response Evaluators (2020.acl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing automated dialogue response evaluators have only moderate correlation with human judgement and are not robust.
Approach: They propose to build a reference-free dialogue response evaluator that exploits the power of semi-supervised training and pretrained (masked) language models.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves strong correlation with human judgement and generalizes robustly to diverse responses and corpora.
Spot The Bot: A Robust and Efficient Framework for the Evaluation of Conversational Dialogue Systems (2020.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Lack of time efficient and reliable evalu-ation methods is hampering the development of conversational dialogue systems (chatbots).
Approach: They propose a framework that replaces human-bot conversations with conversations between bots and an annotation tool that ranks chatbots based on their ability to mimic human behaviour.
Outcome: The proposed evaluation framework replaces human-bot conversations with bot conversations and allows for frequent evaluations of chatbots during their evaluation cycle.
Automating Human Evaluation of Dialogue Systems (2022.naacl-srw)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: a recent study shows that human evaluations of dialogue systems weakly reflect human judgments.
Approach: They propose a BERT-based model that fine-tunes a model with three prediction heads to predict whether the system-generated output is natural, fluent, and informative.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves an average accuracy of 77% over the 3 labels . it also uses three different models to compute the labels compared to three separate models .

Automatic Evaluate Dialogue Appropriateness by Using Dialogue Act (2023.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing evaluations of dialogue quality rely on human judgments, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, prone to biases, and lacking objectivity.
Approach: They propose a method that utilizes the underlying patterns of dialogue act transitions to evaluate the appropriateness of chatbot responses.
Outcome: The proposed method proves that human judgments are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lacking objectivity.
ChatEval: A Tool for Chatbot Evaluation (N19-4)

Challenge: open-domain dialog systems are difficult to evaluate due to lack of standardization and standardization in evaluation procedures.
Approach: They propose a framework for human evaluation of chatbots that augments existing tools . researchers can submit their trained models to the ChatEval web interface . reproducibility and model assessment for opendomain dialog systems is challenging .
Outcome: The proposed framework provides a web-based hub for researchers to compare their models with baselines and prior work.

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing metrics for dialog evaluation are trained on human annotations, which is cumbersome to collect.
Approach: They propose to use user sentiment and other information as proxy to measure the quality of previous dialogs.
Outcome: The proposed model is comparable to models trained on human annotated data.

Outcome: The proposed method is highly reliable while remaining feasible and low cost.
Exploring the Impact of Human Evaluator Group on Chat-Oriented Dialogue Evaluation (2024.lrec-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Evaluator groups such as domain experts, university students, and crowdworkers have been used to assess and compare chat-oriented dialogue systems.
Approach: They analyze the impact of evaluator groups on dialogue system evaluation by testing 4 state-of-the-art dialogue systems using 4 distinct evaluer groups.
Outcome: The proposed evaluations show that the evaluator group impact is not seen for Pairwise, and that it is beneficial for certain metrics.
You Impress Me: Dialogue Generation via Mutual Persona Perception (2020.acl-main)

Challenge: Existing chit-chat systems tend to generate uninformative responses and lack coherent personality traits due to the diversity of speakers.
Approach: They propose a transmitter-receiver framework which explicitly models understanding between interlocutors.
Outcome: The proposed framework improves on a large public dataset, Persona-Chat, with a significant boost over the state-of-the-art frameworks.
