• Title: KdConv: A Chinese Multi-domain Dialogue Dataset Towards Multi-turn Knowledge-driven Conversation
• Authors: Hao Zhou, Chujie Zheng, Kaili Huang, Minlie Huang, Xiaoyan Zhu
• Abstract summary: We propose a Chinese multi-domain knowledge-driven conversation dataset, KdConv, which grounds the topics in multi-turn conversations to knowledge graphs. Our corpus contains 4.5K conversations from three domains (film, music, and travel), and 86K utterances with an average turn number of 19.0.

• Abstract: The research of knowledge-driven conversational systems is largely limited due to the lack of dialog data which consist of multi-turn conversations on multiple topics and with knowledge annotations. In this paper, we propose a Chinese multi-domain knowledge-driven conversation dataset, KdConv, which grounds the topics in multi-turn conversations to knowledge graphs. Our corpus contains 4.5K conversations from three domains (film, music, and travel), and 86K utterances with an average turn number of 19.0. These conversations contain in-depth discussions on related topics and natural transition between multiple topics. To facilitate the following research on this corpus, we provide several benchmark models. Comparative results show that the models can be enhanced by introducing background knowledge, yet there is still a large space for leveraging knowledge to model multi-turn conversations for further research. Results also show that there are obvious performance differences between different domains, indicating that it is worth to further explore transfer learning and domain adaptation. The corpus and benchmark models are publicly available.

• Multi-turn Dialogue Comprehension from a Topic-aware Perspective [70.37126956655985]
  This paper proposes to model multi-turn dialogues from a topic-aware perspective. We use a dialogue segmentation algorithm to split a dialogue passage into topic-concentrated fragments in an unsupervised way. We also present a novel model, Topic-Aware Dual-Attention Matching (TADAM) Network, which takes topic segments as processing elements.

  The goal of dialogue topic shift detection is to identify whether the current topic in a conversation has changed or needs to change. Previous work focused on detecting topic shifts using pre-trained models to encode the utterance. We take a prompt-based approach to fully extract topic information from dialogues at multiple-granularity, i.e., label, turn, and topic.

  We introduce a new video-based multi-modal dialogue dataset, called TikTalk. We collect 38K videos from a popular video-sharing platform, along with 367K conversations posted by users beneath them. Users engage in spontaneous conversations based on their multi-modal experiences from watching videos, which helps recreate real-world chitchat context.

  CGoDial is a new challenging and comprehensive Chinese benchmark for Goal-oriented Dialog evaluation. It contains 96,763 dialog sessions and 574,949 dialog turns totally, covering three datasets with different knowledge sources. To bridge the gap between academic benchmarks and spoken dialog scenarios, we either collect data from real conversations or add spoken features to existing datasets via crowd-sourcing.

  Text summarization is one of the most challenging and interesting problems in NLP. This work proposes a multi-view sequence-to-sequence model by first extracting conversational structures of unstructured daily chats from different views to represent conversations. Experiments on a large-scale dialogue summarization corpus demonstrated that our methods significantly outperformed previous state-of-the-art models via both automatic evaluations and human judgment.
