Interview: Large-scale Modeling of Media Dialog with Discourse Patterns and Knowledge Grounding (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Discourse analysis has been limited to small news corpora, but this study is expanding to tens of thousands of interviews. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale analysis of discourse in media dialog and its impact on dialog modeling with a focus on interrogative patterns and use of external knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms strong discourse-agnostic baselines for dialog modeling, generating more specific and topical responses in interview-style conversations. |
YIELD: A Large-Scale Dataset and Evaluation Framework for Information Elicitation Agents (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing conversational agents (CAs) are designed to satisfy user needs through user-driven interactions. however, many real-world settings, such as academic interviewing, require agents that can elicit information from users. |
| Approach: | They propose to support Information Elicitation Agents (IEAs) in which the agent’s goal is to elicit information from users to support the agent's institutional or task-oriented objectives. |
| Outcome: | The proposed agent-based model improves the performance of a 26M-token dataset of 2,281 human-to-human dialogues on multiple foundation LLMs and human evaluation confirms the results. |
