Challenge: Existing methods to reconstruct utterance with omitted information and pronouns are limited to brief multi-turn dialogues.
Approach: They propose a method to reconstruct utterance with omitted information and pronouns to be standalone and complete based on context.
Outcome: The proposed method improves existing models and achieves state-of-the-art on three benchmarks.
