• Abstract: Existing conversational models are handled by a database(DB) and API based systems. However, very often users' questions require information that cannot be handled by such systems. Nonetheless, answers to these questions are available in the form of customer reviews and FAQs. DSTC-11 proposes a three stage pipeline consisting of knowledge seeking turn detection, knowledge selection and response generation to create a conversational model grounded on this subjective knowledge. In this paper, we focus on improving the knowledge selection module to enhance the overall system performance. In particular, we propose entity retrieval methods which result in an accurate and faster knowledge search. Our proposed Named Entity Recognition (NER) based entity retrieval method results in 7X faster search compared to the baseline model. Additionally, we also explore a potential keyword extraction method which can improve the accuracy of knowledge selection. Preliminary results show a 4 \% improvement in exact match score on knowledge selection task. The code is available https://github.com/raja-kumar/knowledge-grounded-TODS

• Establishing Knowledge Preference in Language Models [80.70632813935644]
  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 use Passage Retrieval (DPR) to retrieve related knowledge to help the model answer questions. DPR conduct retrieving in natural language space, which may not ensure comprehensive acquisition of image information. We propose a novel framework that leverages the visual-language model to select the key knowledge retrieved by DPR and answer questions.

  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.

  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.
