• Abstract: Personalized dialogue systems explore the problem of generating responses that are consistent with the user's personality, which has raised much attention in recent years. Existing personalized dialogue systems have tried to extract user profiles from dialogue history to guide personalized response generation. Since the dialogue history is usually long and noisy, most existing methods truncate the dialogue history to model the user's personality. Such methods can generate some personalized responses, but a large part of dialogue history is wasted, leading to sub-optimal performance of personalized response generation. In this work, we propose to refine the user dialogue history on a large scale, based on which we can handle more dialogue history and obtain more abundant and accurate persona information. Specifically, we design an MSP model which consists of three personal information refiners and a personalized response generator. With these multi-level refiners, we can sparsely extract the most valuable information (tokens) from the dialogue history and leverage other similar users' data to enhance personalization. Experimental results on two real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model in generating more informative and personalized responses.

  We release the Multi-User MultiWOZ dataset: task-oriented dialogues among two users and one agent. These dialogues reflect interesting dynamics of collaborative decision-making in task-oriented scenarios. We propose a novel task of multi-user contextual query rewriting: to rewrite a task-oriented chat between two users as a concise task-oriented query.

Our method can generate responses that are more diverse, and are rated more engaging and human-like by human evaluators.
