• Title: Multi-Referenced Training for Dialogue Response Generation
• Authors: Tianyu Zhao and Tatsuya Kawahara
• Abstract summary: We show that gap between the real world probability distribution and the single-referenced data's probability distribution prevents the model from learning the one-to-many relations efficiently. We generate diverse pseudo references from a powerful pretrained model to build multi-referenced data that provides a better approximation of the real-world distribution.

• Abstract: In open-domain dialogue response generation, a dialogue context can be continued with diverse responses, and the dialogue models should capture such one-to-many relations. In this work, we first analyze the training objective of dialogue models from the view of Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) and show that the gap between the real world probability distribution and the single-referenced data's probability distribution prevents the model from learning the one-to-many relations efficiently. Then we explore approaches to multi-referenced training in two aspects. Data-wise, we generate diverse pseudo references from a powerful pretrained model to build multi-referenced data that provides a better approximation of the real-world distribution. Model-wise, we propose to equip variational models with an expressive prior, named linear Gaussian model (LGM). Experimental results of automated evaluation and human evaluation show that the methods yield significant improvements over baselines. We will release our code and data in https://github.com/ZHAOTING/dialog-processing.

  This paper improves the quality of generated responses by learning the implicit pattern information between contexts and responses in the training samples. We also design a response-aware mechanism for mining the implicit pattern information between contexts and responses so that the generated replies are more diverse and approximate to human replies.

  We pre-train a model that understands the discourse structure of multi-party dialogues, namely, to whom each utterance is replying. To fully utilize the unlabeled data, we propose to treat the discourse structures as latent variables, then jointly infer them and pre-train the discourse-aware model.
