• Abstract: Generating stylized responses is essential to build intelligent and engaging dialogue systems. However, this task is far from well-explored due to the difficulties of rendering a particular style in coherent responses, especially when the target style is embedded only in unpaired texts that cannot be directly used to train the dialogue model. This paper proposes a stylized dialogue generation method that can capture stylistic features embedded in unpaired texts. Specifically, our method can produce dialogue responses that are both coherent to the given context and conform to the target style. In this study, an inverse dialogue model is first introduced to predict possible posts for the input responses, and then this inverse model is used to generate stylized pseudo dialogue pairs based on these stylized unpaired texts. Further, these pseudo pairs are employed to train the stylized dialogue model with a joint training process, and a style routing approach is proposed to intensify stylistic features in the decoder. Automatic and manual evaluations on two datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms competitive baselines in producing coherent and style-intensive dialogue responses.

  It is desirable for language models to produce text in an author-specific style on the basis of a potentially small writing sample. We propose to guide a language model to generate text in a target style using contrastively-trained representations that capture stylometric features.

  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.

Our approach is based on automatic generation of stylized data by learning the usage of jargon, and then rewriting the generic conversations to a stylized one by incorporating the jargon.

A stylistic response generator then takes the prototype and the desired language style as model input to obtain a high-quality and stylistic response.
