• Abstract: Complex conversation settings such as persuasion involve communicating changes in attitude or behavior, so users' perspectives need to be addressed, even when not directly related to the topic. In this work, we contribute a novel modular dialogue system framework that seamlessly integrates factual information and social content into persuasive dialogue. Our framework is generalizable to any dialogue tasks that have mixed social and task contents. We conducted a study that compared user evaluations of our framework versus a baseline end-to-end generation model. We found our framework was evaluated more favorably in all dimensions including competence and friendliness, compared to the end-to-end model which does not explicitly handle social content or factual questions.

  In a customer service system, dialogue summarization can boost service efficiency by creating summaries for long spoken dialogues. In this work, we focus on topic-oriented dialogue summarization, which generates highly abstractive summaries. We propose a novel topic-augmented two-stage dialogue summarizer ( TDS) jointly with a saliency-aware neural topic model (SATM) for topic-oriented summarization of customer service dialogues.

  Task-oriented dialog systems are attracting more and more attention in academic and industrial communities. We discuss three critical topics for task-oriented dialog systems: (1) improving data efficiency to facilitate dialog modeling in low-resource settings, (2) modeling multi-turn dynamics for dialog policy learning, and (3) integrating domain knowledge into the dialog model.
