• Abstract: We introduce AARGH, an end-to-end task-oriented dialog system combining retrieval and generative approaches in a single model, aiming at improving dialog management and lexical diversity of outputs. The model features a new response selection method based on an action-aware training objective and a simplified single-encoder retrieval architecture which allow us to build an end-to-end retrieval-enhanced generation model where retrieval and generation share most of the parameters. On the MultiWOZ dataset, we show that our approach produces more diverse outputs while maintaining or improving state tracking and context-to-response generation performance, compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

  We propose an end-to-end multimodal retrieval system, Ret-XKnow, to endow a text retriever with the ability to understand multimodal queries. To effectively learn multimodal interaction, we also introduce the Visual Dialogue-to-Retrieval dataset automatically constructed from visual dialogue datasets. We demonstrate that our approach not only significantly improves retrieval performance in zero-shot settings but also achieves substantial improvements in fine-tuning scenarios.

  This paper investigates the design of a unified search engine to serve multiple retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) agents. We introduce an iterative approach where the search engine generates retrieval results for these RAG agents and gathers feedback on the quality of the retrieved documents during an offline phase. We adapt this approach to an online setting, allowing the search engine to refine its behavior based on real-time individual agents feedback.

  We propose a parameter-efficient prompt-tuning method named DialCLIP for multi-modal dialog retrieval. Our approach introduces a multi-modal context generator to learn context features which are distilled into prompts within the pre-trained vision-language model CLIP. To facilitate various types of retrieval, we also design multiple experts to learn mappings from CLIP outputs to multi-modal representation space.
