- Abstract summary: We present the Human-Robot Dialogue Learning (HuRDL) Corpus - a novel dialogue corpus collected in an online interactive virtual environment.
We describe the corpus data and a corresponding annotation scheme to offer insight into the form and content of questions that humans ask to facilitate learning in a situated environment.

- Abstract: Intelligent agents that are confronted with novel concepts in situated
environments will need to ask their human teammates questions to learn about
the physical world. To better understand this problem, we need data about
asking questions in situated task-based interactions. To this end, we present
the Human-Robot Dialogue Learning (HuRDL) Corpus - a novel dialogue corpus
collected in an online interactive virtual environment in which human
participants play the role of a robot performing a collaborative
tool-organization task. We describe the corpus data and a corresponding
annotation scheme to offer insight into the form and content of questions that
humans ask to facilitate learning in a situated environment. We provide the
corpus as an empirically-grounded resource for improving question generation in
situated intelligent agents.

PK-Chat is a Pointer network guided generative dialogue model, incorporating a unified pretrained language model and a pointer network over knowledge graphs.
The words generated by PK-Chat in the dialogue are derived from the prediction of word lists and the direct prediction of the external knowledge graph knowledge.
Based on the PK-Chat, a dialogue system is built for academic scenarios in the case of geosciences.

In spoken question answering, the systems are designed to answer questions from contiguous text spans within the related speech transcripts.
We propose a new Spoken Conversational Question Answering task (SCQA), aiming at enabling the systems to model complex dialogue flows.
Our main objective is to build the system to deal with conversational questions based on the audio recordings, and to explore the plausibility of providing more cues from different modalities with systems in information gathering.

Our study indicates that decision-makers would strongly prefer interactive explanations in the form of natural language dialogues.
Considering these needs, we outline a set of five principles researchers should follow when designing interactive explanations.
