• Title: Joint Reasoning on Hybrid-knowledge sources for Task-Oriented Dialog
• Authors: Mayank Mishra, Danish Contractor, Dinesh Raghu
• Abstract summary: We present a modified version of the MutliWOZ based dataset prepared by SeKnow to demonstrate how current methods have significant degradation in performance. In line with recent work exploiting pre-trained language models, we fine-tune a BART based model using prompts for the tasks of querying knowledge sources. We demonstrate that our model is robust to perturbations to knowledge modality (source of information) and that it can fuse information from structured as well as unstructured knowledge to generate responses.

• Abstract: Traditional systems designed for task oriented dialog utilize knowledge present only in structured knowledge sources to generate responses. However, relevant information required to generate responses may also reside in unstructured sources, such as documents. Recent state of the art models such as HyKnow and SeKnow aimed at overcoming these challenges make limiting assumptions about the knowledge sources. For instance, these systems assume that certain types of information, such as a phone number, is always present in a structured KB while information about aspects such as entrance ticket prices would always be available in documents. In this paper, we create a modified version of the MutliWOZ based dataset prepared by SeKnow to demonstrate how current methods have significant degradation in performance when strict assumptions about the source of information are removed. Then, in line with recent work exploiting pre-trained language models, we fine-tune a BART based model using prompts for the tasks of querying knowledge sources, as well as, for response generation, without making assumptions about the information present in each knowledge source. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate that our model is robust to perturbations to knowledge modality (source of information), and that it can fuse information from structured as well as unstructured knowledge to generate responses.

  Language models are known to encode a great amount of factual knowledge through pretraining. Such knowledge might be insufficient to cater to user requests. When answering questions about ongoing events, the model should use recent news articles to update its response. When some facts are edited in the model, the updated facts should override all prior knowledge learned by the model.

  We argue that storing large amounts of knowledge in the model parameters is sub-optimal given the ever-growing amounts of knowledge and resource requirements. We present LM-CORE -- a general framework to achieve this -- that allows textitdecoupling of the language model training from the external knowledge source. Experimental results show that LM-CORE, having access to external knowledge, achieves significant and robust outperformance over state-of-the-art knowledge-enhanced language models on knowledge probing tasks.
