• Abstract: The success of interactive dialog systems is usually associated with the quality of the spoken language understanding (SLU) task, which mainly identifies the corresponding dialog acts and slot values in each turn. By treating utterances in isolation, most SLU systems often overlook the semantic context in which a dialog act is expected. The act dependency between turns is non-trivial and yet critical to the identification of the correct semantic representations. Previous works with limited context awareness have exposed the inadequacy of dealing with complexity in multiproned user intents, which are subject to spontaneous change during turn transitions. In this work, we propose to enhance SLU in multi-turn dialogs, employing a context-aware hierarchical BERT fusion Network (CaBERT-SLU) to not only discern context information within a dialog but also jointly identify multiple dialog acts and slots in each utterance. Experimental results show that our approach reaches new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performances in two complicated multi-turn dialogue datasets with considerable improvements compared with previous methods, which only consider single utterances for multiple intents and slot filling.

  We propose a parameter-efficient prompt-tuning method named DialCLIP for multi-modal dialog retrieval. Our approach introduces a multi-modal context generator to learn context features which are distilled into prompts within the pre-trained vision-language model CLIP. To facilitate various types of retrieval, we also design multiple experts to learn mappings from CLIP outputs to multi-modal representation space.

  This paper proposes a comprehensive analysis of the errors of state of the art systems in complex settings such as Dialogue State Tracking. Based on spoken MultiWoz, we identify that errors on non-categorical slots' values are essential to address in order to bridge the gap between spoken and chat-based dialogue systems.

  We propose a novel "Self-Explanation" prompting strategy to enhance the comprehension abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) This task-agnostic approach requires the model to analyze each dialogue utterance before task execution, thereby improving performance across various dialogue-centric tasks. Experimental results from six benchmark datasets confirm that our method consistently outperforms other zero-shot prompts and matches or exceeds the efficacy of few-shot prompts.

  In dialogue state tracking, dialogue history is a crucial material, and its utilization varies between different models. We propose DiCoS-DST to dynamically select the relevant dialogue contents corresponding to each slot for state updating. Our approach achieves new state-of-the-art performance on MultiWOZ 2.1 and MultiWOZ 2.2, and achieves superior performance on multiple mainstream benchmark datasets.

We evaluate our approach on a recently released spoken dialog data set, the HarperValleyBank corpus.
