• Abstract summary: We propose a dialogue model that can access the vast and dynamic information from any search engine for response generation. As the core module, a query producer is used to generate queries from a dialogue context to interact with a search engine. Experiments show that our query producer can achieve R@1 and R@5 rates of 62.4% and 74.8% for retrieving gold knowledge.

• Abstract: Knowledge-aided dialogue response generation aims at augmenting chatbots with relevant external knowledge in the hope of generating more informative responses. The majority of previous work assumes that the relevant knowledge is given as input or retrieved from a static pool of knowledge. However, this assumption violates the real-world situation, where knowledge is continually updated and a chatbot has to dynamically retrieve useful knowledge. We propose a dialogue model that can access the vast and dynamic information from any search engine for response generation. As the core module, a query producer is used to generate queries from a dialogue context to interact with a search engine. We design a training algorithm using cheap noisy supervision for the query producer, where the signals are obtained by comparing retrieved articles with the next dialogue response. As the result, the query producer is adjusted without any human annotation of gold queries, making it easily transferable to other domains and search engines. Experiments show that our query producer can achieve R@1 and R@5 rates of 62.4% and 74.8% for retrieving gold knowledge, and the overall model generates better responses over strong knowledge-aided baselines using BART and other typical systems.

• Mitigating the Negative Impact of Over-association for Conversational Query Production [44.661864532728615]
  Conversational query generation aims at producing search queries from dialogue histories, which are then used to retrieve relevant knowledge from a search engine. Previous models suffer from the data hunger issue, and they tend to both drop important concepts from dialogue histories and generate irrelevant concepts at inference time. We propose effective instance-level weighting strategies for training to mitigate these issues from multiple perspectives.

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.

  Retrieving proper domain knowledge from an external database lies at the heart of end-to-end task-oriented dialog systems. Most existing systems blend knowledge retrieval with response generation and optimize them with direct supervision from reference responses. We propose to decouple knowledge retrieval from response generation and introduce a multi-grained knowledge retriever.
