Retrieval Augmentation Reduces Hallucination in Conversation (2021.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: State-of-the-art dialogue models suffer from factual incorrectness and hallucination of knowledge.
Approach: They propose to use neural-retrieval-in-the-loop architectures to optimize knowledge-grounded dialogue by retrieving, ranking, and encoder-decoders.
Outcome: The proposed architectures exhibit open-domain conversational capabilities and generalize effectively to scenarios not within the training data.

Towards Fewer Hallucinations in Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue Generation via Augmentative and Contrastive Knowledge-Dialogue (2023.acl-short)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing knowledge-grounded dialogue generation models face the hallucination problem . Existing models generate inappropriate knowledge and generate inconsistent responses .
Approach: They propose an Augmentative and Contrastive Knowledge Dialogue Expansion Framework to enhance existing knowledge dialogue models by polarizing optimization objectives and weak knowledge generation ability.
Outcome: The proposed framework expands existing training sets and smooths the optimization objective that enables models to generate ground-truth with or without gold knowledge.

You Truly Understand What I Need : Intellectual and Friendly Dialog Agents grounding Persona and Knowledge (2022.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing models that ground knowledge and persona at the same time are limited, leading to hallucination and a passive way of using personas.
Approach: They propose a conversational agent that grounds external knowledge and persona simultaneously and a retrieval augmented generation model that generates utterances with lesser hallucination and more engagingness.
Outcome: The proposed agent generates the utterance with lesser hallucination and more engagingness utilizing retrieval augmented generation with knowledge-persona enhanced query.

Approach: They propose a method to improve faithfulness and reduce hallucination of neural dialogue systems to known facts supplied by a Knowledge Graph.
Outcome: The proposed approach improves faithfulness and reduces hallucination of dialogue systems to known facts . it leverages a token-level fact critic to identify plausible sources of hallucinism .
A Cause-Effect Look at Alleviating Hallucination of Knowledge-grounded Dialogue Generation (2024.lrec-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing dialogue systems have demonstrated impressive performance conducting fluent and natural-sounding conversations, but they are plagued by the Knowledge Hallucination problem.
Approach: They propose a method that exploits the dialogue-knowledge interaction to reduce hallucination by using external knowledge resources to generate more informative responses.
Outcome: The proposed method reduces hallucination without disrupting other dialogue performance while keeping adaptive to different generation models.

Elastic Weight Removal for Faithful and Abstractive Dialogue Generation (2024.naacl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Current-day large language models generate coherent, grammatical, and seemingly meaningful text, but are prone to hallucinating incorrect information.
Approach: They propose to ‘subtract’ parameters of a model trained to hallucinate from a dialogue response generation model to ‘negate’ the contribution of such hallucinatedexamples from it.
Outcome: The proposed method reduces hallucinations and discourages extractive responses, which are often a consequence of reducing hallucines by encouraging copy-pasting of document spans.
RECAP: Retrieval-Enhanced Context-Aware Prefix Encoder for Personalized Dialogue Response Generation (2023.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to personalized dialogue generation rely on dialogue data paired with user traits, profiles or persona description sentences.
Approach: They propose a hierarchical transformer retriever trained on dialogue domain data to perform personalized retrieval and a context-aware prefix encoder that fuses the retrieved information to the decoder more effectively.
Outcome: The proposed model generates more fluent and personalized responses under a suite of human and automatic metrics and is superior to state-of-the-art baselines on English Reddit conversations.
