Pre-training Multi-party Dialogue Models with Latent Discourse Inference (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have failed to scale up the pre-training process by putting aside unlabeled data . et al., 2019: multi-party dialogues are more difficult for models to understand since they involve multiple interlocutors resulting in interweaving reply-to relations and information flows. |
| Approach: | They propose to treat discourse structures as latent variables and jointly infer them to pre-train a model that understands the discourse structure of multi-party dialogues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines and achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple downstream tasks. |
