• Title: Knowledge Enhanced Fine-Tuning for Better Handling Unseen Entities in Dialogue Generation
• Authors: Leyang Cui, Yu Wu, Shujie Liu, Yue Zhang
• Abstract summary: We introduce two auxiliary training objectives: 1) Interpret Masked Word, which conjectures the meaning of the masked entity given the context; 2) Hypernym Generation, which predicts the hypernym of the entity based on the context. Experiment results on two dialogue corpus verify the effectiveness of our methods under both knowledge available and unavailable settings.

• Abstract: Although pre-training models have achieved great success in dialogue generation, their performance drops dramatically when the input contains an entity that does not appear in pre-training and fine-tuning datasets (unseen entity). To address this issue, existing methods leverage an external knowledge base to generate appropriate responses. In real-world scenario, the entity may not be included by the knowledge base or suffer from the precision of knowledge retrieval. To deal with this problem, instead of introducing knowledge base as the input, we force the model to learn a better semantic representation by predicting the information in the knowledge base, only based on the input context. Specifically, with the help of a knowledge base, we introduce two auxiliary training objectives: 1) Interpret Masked Word, which conjectures the meaning of the masked entity given the context; 2) Hypernym Generation, which predicts the hypernym of the entity based on the context. Experiment results on two dialogue corpus verify the effectiveness of our methods under both knowledge available and unavailable settings.

  We propose an embedding learning framework that is flexible in terms of the relationships that can be embedded into the learned representations. A sampling mechanism is carefully designed to establish a direct connection between the input and the information captured by the output embeddings. Our empirical results demonstrate that the proposed framework, in conjunction with a set of relevant entity-relation-matrices, outperforms the existing state-of-the-art approaches in various data mining tasks.

  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.
