• Title: A Unified Framework for Emotion Identification and Generation in Dialogues
• Authors: Avinash Madasu, Mauajama Firdaus, Asif Eqbal
• Abstract summary: We propose a multi-task framework that jointly identifies the emotion of a given dialogue and generates response in accordance to the identified emotion. We employ a BERT based network for creating an empathetic system and use a mixed objective function that trains the end-to-end network with both the classification and generation loss.

• Abstract: Social chatbots have gained immense popularity, and their appeal lies not just in their capacity to respond to the diverse requests from users, but also in the ability to develop an emotional connection with users. To further develop and promote social chatbots, we need to concentrate on increasing user interaction and take into account both the intellectual and emotional quotient in the conversational agents. In this paper, we propose a multi-task framework that jointly identifies the emotion of a given dialogue and generates response in accordance to the identified emotion. We employ a BERT based network for creating an empathetic system and use a mixed objective function that trains the end-to-end network with both the classification and generation loss. Experimental results show that our proposed framework outperforms current state-of-the-art models

  Emotions are indispensable in human communication, but are often overlooked in task-oriented dialogue (ToD) modelling. In this work, we incorporate emotion into the complete ToD processing loop, involving understanding, management, and generation. We demonstrate that our proposed framework significantly enhances the user's emotional experience as well as the task success.

  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.

  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.

  The goal of empathetic response generation is to enhance the ability of dialogue systems to perceive and express emotions in conversations. We propose a novel empathetic response generation model that can consider multiple state information including emotions and intents simultaneously. Experimental results show that dynamically managing different information can help the model generate more empathetic responses.

  This paper presents a novel task of empathetic dialog generation with positive emotion elicitation. The agent conducts empathetic responses along with the target of eliciting the user's positive emotions in the multi-turn dialog. We collect a large-scale emotional dialog dataset with positive emotion elicitation, called PosEmoDial.
