• Authors: Xueliang Zhao, Tingchen Fu, Chongyang Tao and Rui Yan
• Abstract summary: Knowledge-grounded conversation (KGC) shows excellent potential to deliver an engaging and informative response. Existing approaches emphasize selecting one golden knowledge given a particular dialogue context, overlooking the one-to-many phenomenon in dialogue. We propose a series of metrics to systematically assess the one-to-many efficacy of existing KGC models.

• Abstract: Knowledge-grounded conversation (KGC) shows excellent potential to deliver an engaging and informative response. However, existing approaches emphasize selecting one golden knowledge given a particular dialogue context, overlooking the one-to-many phenomenon in dialogue. As a result, the existing paradigm limits the diversity of knowledge selection and generation. To this end, we establish a multi-reference KGC dataset and propose a series of metrics to systematically assess the one-to-many efficacy of existing KGC models. Furthermore, to extend the hypothesis space of knowledge selection to enhance the mapping relationship between multiple knowledge and multiple responses, we devise a span-based variational model and optimize the model in a wake-sleep style with an ameliorated evidence lower bound objective to learn the one-to-many generalization. Both automatic and human evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) has shown exceptional capabilities in many natual language understanding and generation tasks. We decompose the use of multiple sources in generating personalized response into three sub-tasks: Knowledge Source Selection, Knowledge Retrieval, and Response Generation. We propose a novel Unified Multi-Source Retrieval-Augmented Generation system (UniMS-RAG)

  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.

  Current knowledge-grounded dialogue systems often fail to align the generated responses with human-preferred qualities. We propose Polished & Informed Candidate Scoring (PICK), a generation re-scoring framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of PICK in generating responses that are more faithful while keeping them relevant to the dialogue history.

  Referential ambiguities arise in dialogue when a referring expression does not uniquely identify the intended referent for the addressee. Addressees usually detect such ambiguities immediately and work with the speaker to repair it using meta-communicative, Clarification Exchanges (CE): a Clarification Request (CR) and a response. Here, we argue that the ability to generate and respond to CRs imposes specific constraints on the architecture and objective functions of multi-modal, visually grounded dialogue models.

  A limitation of current neural dialog models is that they tend to suffer from a lack of specificity and informativeness in generated responses. We propose a post-hoc knowledge-injection technique where we first retrieve a diverse set of relevant knowledge snippets conditioned on both the dialog history and an initial response from an existing dialog model. We construct multiple candidate responses, individually injecting each retrieved snippet into the initial response using a gradient-based decoding method, and then select the final response with an unsupervised ranking step.

A Rank-aware (RC) network is designed to construct the multi-level contrastive optimization objectives. We build a Knowledge Inference (KI) component to capture the keyword knowledge from the reference during training and exploit such information to encourage the generation of informative words.
