Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evaluation metrics for NRG models can't measure semantic relevance and diversity of generated results. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale domain-specific conversational corpus with preprocessing and cleansing procedures for model training and a testing set for measuring the diversity of generated results. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus can be taken as a new benchmark dataset for the NRG task. |
