• Abstract summary: We introduce personal memory into knowledge selection in Knowledge-grounded conversation. We devise a learning scheme in which the forward mapping from personal memory to knowledge and its inverse mapping is included in a closed loop. Experiment results show that our method outperforms existing KGC methods significantly on both automatic evaluation and human evaluation.

• Abstract: Knowledge-grounded conversation (KGC) shows great potential in building an engaging and knowledgeable chatbot, and knowledge selection is a key ingredient in it. However, previous methods for knowledge selection only concentrate on the relevance between knowledge and dialogue context, ignoring the fact that age, hobby, education and life experience of an interlocutor have a major effect on his or her personal preference over external knowledge. Without taking the personalization issue into account, it is difficult to select the proper knowledge and generate persona-consistent responses. In this work, we introduce personal memory into knowledge selection in KGC to address the personalization issue. We propose a variational method to model the underlying relationship between one's personal memory and his or her selection of knowledge, and devise a learning scheme in which the forward mapping from personal memory to knowledge and its inverse mapping is included in a closed loop so that they could teach each other. Experiment results show that our method outperforms existing KGC methods significantly on both automatic evaluation and human evaluation.

  We introduce StableKE, a knowledge editing method based on knowledge augmentation rather than knowledge localization. To overcome the expense of human labeling, StableKE integrates two automated knowledge augmentation strategies. StableKE surpasses other knowledge editing methods, demonstrating stability both edited knowledge and multi-hop knowledge.

  We propose KPT (guided Pre-Training), a novel self-supervised pre-training method for grounded dialog generation. Specifically, we use a pre-trained language model to extract the most uncertain tokens in the dialog as keywords. We conduct extensive experiments on various few-shot knowledge-grounded generation tasks, including grounding on dialog acts, knowledge graphs, persona descriptions, and Wikipedia passages.

  End-to-End intelligent neural dialogue systems suffer from the problems of generating inconsistent and repetitive responses. Existing dialogue models pay attention to unilaterally incorporating personal knowledge into the dialog while ignoring the fact that incorporating the personality-related conversation information into personal knowledge taken as the bilateral information flow boosts the quality of the subsequent conversation. We propose a conversation-adaption multi-view persona aware response generation model that aims at enhancing conversation consistency and alleviating the repetition from two folds.

  We propose a difference-aware knowledge selection method for multi-turn knowledge-grounded dialogs. It first computes the difference between the candidate knowledge sentences provided at the current turn and those chosen in the previous turns. Then, the differential information is fused with or disentangled from the contextual information to facilitate final knowledge selection.
