• Abstract: We study knowledge-grounded dialogue generation with pre-trained language models. To leverage the redundant external knowledge under capacity constraint, we propose equipping response generation defined by a pre-trained language model with a knowledge selection module, and an unsupervised approach to jointly optimizing knowledge selection and response generation with unlabeled dialogues. Empirical results on two benchmarks indicate that our model can significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods in both automatic evaluation and human judgment.

  We propose a complexity-theoretic framework of model evaluation cast as a dynamic interaction between a model and a learned evaluator. We demonstrate that this framework can be used to reason about two case studies in language model evaluation, as well as analyze existing evaluation methods.

• Controllable Mixed-Initiative Dialogue Generation through Prompting [50.03458333265885]
  Mixed-initiative dialogue tasks involve repeated exchanges of information and conversational control. Agents gain control by generating responses that follow particular dialogue intents or strategies, prescribed by a policy planner. Standard approach has been fine-tuning pre-trained language models to perform generation conditioned on these intents. We instead prompt large language models as a drop-in replacement to fine-tuning on conditional generation.

  We propose a multi-level contrastive learning paradigm to model the fine-grained quality of the responses with respect to the query. A Rank-aware (RC) network is designed to construct the multi-level contrastive optimization objectives. We build a Knowledge Inference (KI) component to capture the keyword knowledge from the reference during training and exploit such information to encourage the generation of informative words.

  We consider knowledge-grounded dialogue generation under a natural assumption that only limited training examples are available. We devise a disentangled response decoder in order to isolate parameters that depend on knowledge-grounded dialogues from the entire generation model. With only 1/8 training data, our model can achieve the state-of-the-art performance and generalize well on out-of-domain knowledge.
