• Abstract: Currently end-to-end deep learning based open-domain dialogue systems remain black box models, making it easy to generate irrelevant contents with data-driven models. Specifically, latent variables are highly entangled with different semantics in the latent space due to the lack of priori knowledge to guide the training. To address this problem, this paper proposes to harness the generative model with a priori knowledge through a cognitive approach involving mesoscopic scale feature disentanglement. Particularly, the model integrates the macro-level guided-category knowledge and micro-level open-domain dialogue data for the training, leveraging the priori knowledge into the latent space, which enables the model to disentangle the latent variables within the mesoscopic scale. Besides, we propose a new metric for open-domain dialogues, which can objectively evaluate the interpretability of the latent space distribution. Finally, we validate our model on different datasets and experimentally demonstrate that our model is able to generate higher quality and more interpretable dialogues than other models.

  We present MergeNet, which learns to bridge the gap of parameter spaces of heterogeneous models. The core mechanism of MergeNet lies in the parameter adapter, which operates by querying the source model's low-rank parameters. MergeNet is learned alongside both models, allowing our framework to dynamically transfer and adapt knowledge relevant to the current stage.

We propose a semi-supervised information bottleneck-based model that enables the use of side knowledge to direct the learning of discrete latent variables. We show that our approach generalizes an existing method of parameter injection, and perform an empirical case study of our approach on language-based event modeling.
