- Authors: Yutao Zhu, Ruihua Song, Zhicheng Dou, Jian-Yun Nie, Jin Zhou
- Abstract summary: We propose a model ScriptWriter that selects the best response among the candidates that fit the context as well as the given narrative.
Due to the unavailability of data for this new application, we construct a new large-scale data collection GraphMovie from a movie website.

- Abstract: It is appealing to have a system that generates a story or scripts
automatically from a story-line, even though this is still out of our reach. In
dialogue systems, it would also be useful to drive dialogues by a dialogue
plan. In this paper, we address a key problem involved in these applications --
guiding a dialogue by a narrative. The proposed model ScriptWriter selects the
best response among the candidates that fit the context as well as the given
narrative. It keeps track of what in the narrative has been said and what is to
be said. A narrative plays a different role than the context (i.e., previous
utterances), which is generally used in current dialogue systems. Due to the
unavailability of data for this new application, we construct a new large-scale
data collection GraphMovie from a movie website where end-users can upload
their narratives freely when watching a movie. Experimental results on the
dataset show that our proposed approach based on narratives significantly
outperforms the baselines that simply use the narrative as a kind of context.

We equip dialog models with 'background stories' related to a persona by leveraging fictional narratives from existing story datasets.
We perform an unsupervised adaptation of a retrieved story for generating a dialog response using a gradient-based rewriting technique.
Our method can generate responses that are more diverse, and are rated more engaging and human-like by human evaluators.
