Papers with question-asking strategies
A Taxonomy of Empathetic Questions in Social Dialogs (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current dialog generation approaches do not model effective question-asking due to the lack of a taxonomy of questions and their purpose in social chitchat. |
| Approach: | They propose to model questions' ability to capture communicative acts and their emotion-regulation intents by annotating a large dataset with established labels. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to generate labels for the EmpatheticDialogues dataset and to further improve the existing models. |
Learning to Ask for Conversational Machine Learning (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Empirical analysis across three domains shows that learned question-asking strategies expedite classifier training by asking appropriate questions at different points in the learning process. |
| Approach: | They propose a reinforcement learning framework where the learner’s actions correspond to question types and the reward for asking a question is based on how the teacher’s response changes performance of the resulting machine learning model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms a random policy on learning classification tasks, but the dialog looks contrived from a human perspective. |
