Seamlessly Integrating Factual Information and Social Content with Persuasive Dialogue (2022.aacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Persuasive dialogue systems are designed for chatbots to communicate with and influence users with specific goals. |
| Approach: | They propose a modular dialogue system framework that integrates factual information and social content into persuasive dialogues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is generalizable to any dialogue tasks that have mixed social and task contents. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research focuses on task-oriented or open-domain dialogue systems with influence skills. |
| Approach: | They propose to define and introduce a category of social influence dialogue systems that influence users’ cognitive and emotional responses. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system is task-oriented or goal-oriented, but it is not open-domain. |
Empathetic Persuasion: Reinforcing Empathy and Persuasiveness in Dialogue Systems (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for persuasive dialogue lack emotion annotated data, so we use transformers to provide emotion based feedbacks to our RL agent. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a language model to generate empathetic persuasive dialogues . they annotate existing data with emotions and build transformers to provide feedbacks based on emotion. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model increases the rate of generating persuasive responses compared to state-of-the-art models while maintaining the language quality. |

| Challenge: | Persuasive automated dialogue systems are a popular way to influence people's behavior and decision making. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a context-aware persuasion strategy selection module to persult users . they also propose a persuasiveness prediction model to automatically evaluate the persuasiveness of generated text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can achieve better performance on several automated evaluation metrics than baseline models. |
Grounding in social media: An approach to building a chit-chat dialogue model (2022.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing open-domain dialogue models fail to capture and utilize external knowledge, leading to repetitive or generic responses to unseen utterances. |
| Approach: | They propose to use social media comments to improve the raw conversation ability of open-domain dialogue systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the raw conversation ability of open-domain dialogue systems by mimicking human responses through casual interactions found on social media. |
Diverse and Informative Dialogue Generation with Context-Specific Commonsense Knowledge Awareness (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Generative dialogue systems tend to produce generic and boring responses, causing boring conversations . a novel commonsense knowledge-aware dialogue generation model is proposed to solve this problem . |
| Approach: | They propose to retrieve and introduce knowledge facts from knowledge graphs to reduce boring conversations . they use a Felicitous Fact mechanism to help the model focus on context-relevant knowledge facts . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art approach in most experiments. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing knowledge grounding models focus on locating knowledge in document contexts that are relevant to the conversation. |
| Approach: | They propose a knowledge identification model that leverages document structure to provide dialogue-contextualized passage encodings and better locate knowledge relevant to the conversation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be applied to document-grounded conversational datasets and shows generalization to unseen documents and long dialogue contexts. |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown proficiency in generating persuasive dialogue, yet concerns about the fluency and sophistication of their outputs persist. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-LLM communication framework that facilitates the efficient production of high-quality, diverse linguistic content with minimal human oversight. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework excels in naturalness, linguistic diversity, and the strategic use of persuasion, even in complex scenarios involving social taboos. |
