• Abstract: Improving the emotional awareness of pre-trained language models is an emerging important problem for dialogue generation tasks. Although prior studies have introduced methods to improve empathetic dialogue generation, few have discussed how to incorporate commonsense knowledge into pre-trained language models for controllable dialogue generation. In this study, we propose a novel framework that improves empathetic dialogue generation using pre-trained language models by 1) incorporating commonsense knowledge through prompt verbalization, and 2) controlling dialogue generation using a strategy-driven future discriminator. We conducted experiments to reveal that both the incorporation of social commonsense knowledge and enforcement of control over generation help to improve generation performance. Finally, we discuss the implications of our study for future research.

  This study investigates the capabilities of large language models in classifying dialogue turns related to explicit or implicit grounding and predicting grounded knowledge elements. Our experimental results reveal challenges encountered by large language models in the two tasks. These initiatives aim to develop more effective dialogue systems that are better equipped to handle the intricacies of grounded knowledge in conversations.

  Mixed-initiative dialogue tasks involve repeated exchanges of information and conversational control. Agents gain control by generating responses that follow particular dialogue intents or strategies, prescribed by a policy planner. Standard approach has been fine-tuning pre-trained language models to perform generation conditioned on these intents. We instead prompt large language models as a drop-in replacement to fine-tuning on conditional generation.
