• Abstract: Tabular data is the most common format to publish and exchange structured data online. A clear example is the growing number of open data portals published by public administrations. However, exploitation of these data sources is currently limited to technical people able to programmatically manipulate and digest such data. As an alternative, we propose the use of chatbots to offer a conversational interface to facilitate the exploration of tabular data sources, including support for data analytics questions that are responded via charts rendered by the chatbot. Moreover, our chatbots are automatically generated from the data source itself thanks to the instantiation of a configurable collection of conversation patterns matched to the chatbot intents and entities.

  We introduce WildVis, an interactive tool that enables fast, versatile, and large-scale conversation analysis. WildVis provides search and visualization capabilities in the text and embedding spaces based on a list of criteria. We demonstrate WildVis' utility through three case studies: facilitating misuse research, visualizing and comparing topic distributions across datasets, and characterizing user-specific conversation patterns.

  We present CAT, which can be used to create conversational agents for transactional databases. The main idea is that, for a given O database, CAT uses weak supervision to synthesize the required training data. CAT provides an out-of-the-box integration of the resulting agent with the database.

  We introduce Pchatbot, a large-scale dialogue dataset that contains two subsets collected from Weibo and Judicial forums respectively. To adapt the raw dataset to dialogue systems, we elaborately normalize the raw dataset via processes such as anonymization. The scale of Pchatbot is significantly larger than existing Chinese datasets, which might benefit the data-driven models.
