• Title: GraphDialog: Integrating Graph Knowledge into End-to-End Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems
• Authors: Shiquan Yang, Rui Zhang, Sarah Erfani
• Abstract summary: End-to-end task-oriented dialogue systems aim to generate system responses directly from plain text inputs. One is how to effectively incorporate external knowledge bases (KBs) into the learning framework; the other is how to accurately capture the semantics of dialogue history. We address these two challenges by exploiting the graph structural information in the knowledge base and in the dependency parsing tree of the dialogue.

• Abstract: End-to-end task-oriented dialogue systems aim to generate system responses directly from plain text inputs. There are two challenges for such systems: one is how to effectively incorporate external knowledge bases (KBs) into the learning framework; the other is how to accurately capture the semantics of dialogue history. In this paper, we address these two challenges by exploiting the graph structural information in the knowledge base and in the dependency parsing tree of the dialogue. To effectively leverage the structural information in dialogue history, we propose a new recurrent cell architecture which allows representation learning on graphs. To exploit the relations between entities in KBs, the model combines multi-hop reasoning ability based on the graph structure. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves consistent improvement over state-of-the-art models on two different task-oriented dialogue datasets.

  We study the potential of large language models for conversational grounding. Our approach involves annotating human conversations across five knowledge domains to create a new dialogue corpus called BridgeKG. Our findings offer insights into how these models use in-context learning for conversational grounding tasks and common prediction errors.

  How to build and use dialogue data efficiently, and how to deploy models in different domains at scale can be critical issues in building a task-oriented dialogue system. We propose a novel manual-guided dialogue scheme, where the agent learns the tasks from both dialogue and manuals. Our proposed scheme reduces the dependence of dialogue models on fine-grained domain ontology, and makes them more flexible to adapt to various domains.

We empirically show that this graph-based approach quite effectively captures the relations between different entity pairs in a dialogue as it outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
