A Personalized Dialogue Generator with Implicit User Persona Detection (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for personalized dialogue generation tend to be self-centered, with little care for the user in the dialogue. |
| Approach: | They propose a personalized dialogue generator by detecting an implicit user persona and using conditional variational inference to model the user's potential persona with no external knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves both automatic metrics and human evaluations by focusing on the user's persona and posterior-discriminated regularization. |

Pre-training Multi-party Dialogue Models with Latent Discourse Inference (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have failed to scale up the pre-training process by putting aside unlabeled data . et al., 2019: multi-party dialogues are more difficult for models to understand since they involve multiple interlocutors resulting in interweaving reply-to relations and information flows. |
| Approach: | They propose to treat discourse structures as latent variables and jointly infer them to pre-train a model that understands the discourse structure of multi-party dialogues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines and achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple downstream tasks. |
