Exploring Conversational Language Generation for Rich Content about Hotels (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new method is needed to generate natural dialogues for hotel information . a recent study shows that hotel descriptions are not a good match for conversational interaction . |
| Approach: | They propose to use stylistic features to generate and score hotel dialogues from hotel descriptions . they use hotel descriptions written by human writers within Google Content Studio . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can be used to generate natural dialogues for hotels . the authors show that the sentences in the original written hotel descriptions are not a good match for conversational interaction. |
