BPM_MT: Enhanced Backchannel Prediction Model using Multi-Task Learning (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Backchannel (BC) is a short and quick reaction signal of a listener to a speaker's utterances. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that utilizes lexical information in utterances to enhance backchannel (BC) prediction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model showed 14.24% performance improvement compared to baseline in the four BC categories: continuer, understanding, empathic response, and No BC. |
A Model of Cross-Lingual Knowledge-Grounded Response Generation for Open-Domain Dialogue Systems (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on open-domain dialogue systems that allow free topics are challenging . however, non-English dialogue systems suffer from reproducing the performance of English dialogue systems . |
| Approach: | They propose to use English knowledge to improve the performance of open-domain dialogue systems . they construct a Korean-English T5 language model and develop a knowledge-grounded Korean dialogue model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves even when only English knowledge is given . the model is built with a pre-trained language model and a knowledge-grounded Korean dialogue model . |
