Generative Knowledge Selection for Knowledge-Grounded Dialogues (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Knowledge selection is the key in knowledge-grounded dialogues (KGD), which aims to select an appropriate knowledge snippet to be used in the utterance based on dialogue history. |
| Approach: | They propose a generative approach for knowledge selection called GenKS that learns to select snippets by generating their identifiers with a sequence-to-sequence model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach captures intra-knowledge interaction inherently through attention mechanisms while generating their identifiers with a sequence-to-sequence model. |
