| Challenge: | Existing models focus on synthesizing a dialogue with proper knowledge, but neglect that the same knowledge could be expressed differently even under the same context. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that ground dialogue generation by extra knowledge by analyzing the structure of the response and the content style of each part. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can learn the structure style defined by a few examples and generate responses in desired content style. |
