• Title: Conversational Analysis of Daily Dialog Data using Polite Emotional Dialogue Acts
• Authors: Chandrakant Bothe and Stefan Wermter
• Abstract summary: This article presents findings of polite emotional dialogue act associations. We confirm our hypothesis that the utterances with the emotion classes Anger and Disgust are more likely to be impolite. A less expectable phenomenon occurs with dialogue acts Inform and Commissive which contain more polite utterances than Question and Directive.

• Abstract: Many socio-linguistic cues are used in conversational analysis, such as emotion, sentiment, and dialogue acts. One of the fundamental cues is politeness, which linguistically possesses properties such as social manners useful in conversational analysis. This article presents findings of polite emotional dialogue act associations, where we can correlate the relationships between the socio-linguistic cues. We confirm our hypothesis that the utterances with the emotion classes Anger and Disgust are more likely to be impolite. At the same time, Happiness and Sadness are more likely to be polite. A less expectable phenomenon occurs with dialogue acts Inform and Commissive which contain more polite utterances than Question and Directive. Finally, we conclude on the future work of these findings to extend the learning of social behaviours using politeness.

  We propose a new task, Personality-affected Emotion Generation, to generate emotion based on the personality given to the dialog system. We analyze the challenges in this task, i.e., (1) heterogeneously integrating personality and emotional factors and (2) extracting multi-granularity emotional information in the dialog context. Results suggest that by adopting our method, the emotion generation performance is improved by 13% in macro-F1 and 5% in weighted-F1 from the BERT-base model.

  The present study analyzes verbal conversations of 50 married couples who engage in naturalistic 10-minute conflict and 10-minute positive conversations. Transformer-based model General Text Embeddings-Large is employed to obtain the embeddings of the utterances from each speaker. Results show that lower similarity is associated with greater positive emotional experiences in the positive (but not conflict) conversation.

  We propose a novel framework that takes a comprehensive perspective of cognition, affection and behavior to generate empathetic responses. For cognition, we build paths between critical keywords in the dialogue by leveraging external knowledge. For affection, we capture the emotional dependencies with dual latent variables that contain both interlocutors' emotions.

  We propose a Serial and Emotion-Knowledge interaction (SEEK) method for empathetic dialogue generation. We use a fine-grained encoding strategy which is more sensitive to the emotion dynamics (emotion flow) in the conversations to predict the emotion-intent characteristic of response. Besides, we design a novel framework to model the interaction between knowledge and emotion to generate more sensible response.

  We introduce ProsocialDialog, the first large-scale dialogue dataset to teach conversational agents to respond to problematic content following social norms. Created via a human-AI collaborative framework, ProsocialDialog consists of 58K dialogues, with 331K utterances, 160K RoTs, and 497K dialogue safety labels. With this dataset, we introduce a dialogue safety detection module, Canary, capable of generating RoTs given conversational context, and a socially-informed dialogue agent, Prost.

• Perspective-taking and Pragmatics for Generating Empathetic Responses Focused on Emotion Causes [50.569762345799354]
  We argue that two issues must be tackled at the same time: (i) identifying which word is the cause for the other's emotion from his or her utterance and (ii) reflecting those specific words in the response generation. Taking inspiration from social cognition, we leverage a generative estimator to infer emotion cause words from utterances with no word-level label.

  Lack of external knowledge makes empathetic dialogue systems difficult to perceive implicit emotions and learn emotional interactions from limited dialogue history. We propose to leverage external knowledge, including commonsense knowledge and emotional lexical knowledge, to explicitly understand and express emotions in empathetic dialogue generation.

  Recent models tackling consistency often train with additional Natural Language Inference (NLI) labels or attach trained extra modules to the generative agent for maintaining consistency. Inspired by social cognition and pragmatics, we endow existing dialogue agents with public self-consciousness on the fly through an imaginary listener. Our approach, based on the Rational Speech Acts framework, can enforce dialogue agents to refrain from uttering contradiction.
