Challenge: Existing knowledge grounded dialogue frameworks assume that the user intention is always answerable.
Approach: They propose a framework that automatically generates a control token with the generator to bias the succeeding response towards informativeness for answerable contexts and fallback for unanswerable context.
Outcome: The proposed framework incorporates fallback responses to respond to unanswerable contexts in an informative manner while retaining informativeness for answerable context.
