- Title: Listener's Social Identity Matters in Personalised Response Generation
- Authors: Guanyi Chen, Yinhe Zheng, Yupei Du
- Abstract summary: We investigate how the listener's identity influences the language used in Chinese dialogues on social media.
The experiment results demonstrate that the listener's identity indeed matters in the language use of responses.
By additionally modelling the listener's identity, the personalised response generator performs better in its own identity.

- Abstract: Personalised response generation enables generating human-like responses by
means of assigning the generator a social identity. However, pragmatics theory
suggests that human beings adjust the way of speaking based on not only who
they are but also whom they are talking to. In other words, when modelling
personalised dialogues, it might be favourable if we also take the listener's
social identity into consideration. To validate this idea, we use gender as a
typical example of a social variable to investigate how the listener's identity
influences the language used in Chinese dialogues on social media. Also, we
build personalised generators. The experiment results demonstrate that the
listener's identity indeed matters in the language use of responses and that
the response generator can capture such differences in language use. More
interestingly, by additionally modelling the listener's identity, the
personalised response generator performs better in its own identity.

Response Generation in Dialogues [28.49660948650183]
We introduce a novel approach centered on harnessing the Big Five personality traits acquired in an unsupervised manner from the conversations to bolster the performance of response generation.
This is evident in the increase observed in ROUGE and BLUE scores for the response generation task when the identified personality is seamlessly integrated into the dialogue context.

Conversation [50.35367785674921]
Listener head generation centers on generating non-verbal behaviors of a listener in reference to the information delivered by a speaker.
A significant challenge when generating such responses is the non-deterministic nature of fine-grained facial expressions during a conversation.
We propose the Emotional Listener Portrait (ELP), which treats each fine-grained facial motion as a composition of several discrete motion-codewords.
Our ELP model can not only automatically generate natural and diverse responses toward a given speaker via sampling from the learned distribution but also generate controllable responses with a predetermined attitude.

We present a framework for generating appropriate facial responses from a listener in dyadic social interactions based on the speaker's words.
Our approach autoregressively predicts a response of a listener: a sequence of listener facial gestures, quantized using a VQ-VAE.
We show that our generated listener motion is fluent and reflective of language semantics through quantitative metrics and a qualitative user study.

We define the responsive listening head generation task as the synthesis of a non-verbal head with motions and expressions reacting to the multiple inputs.
Unlike speech-driven gesture or talking head generation, we introduce more modals in this task, hoping to benefit several research fields.

We introduce the tasks of extracting and inferring personal attributes from human-human dialogue.
We first demonstrate the benefit of incorporating personal attributes in a social chit-chat dialogue model.
We then analyze the linguistic demands of these tasks.

Task-Oriented Conversational Agents [60.27066549589362]
Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion.
The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element.
Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.
