• Abstract summary: We propose a framework to effectively incorporate Evidence in knowledge-Intensive Dialogue Generation (u-EIDG) Specifically, we introduce an automatic evidence generation framework that harnesses the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to mine reliable evidence labels from unlabeled data. By utilizing these evidence labels, we train a reliable evidence indicator to effectively identify relevant evidence from retrieved passages.

• Abstract: Incorporating external knowledge into dialogue generation (KIDG) is crucial for improving the correctness of response, where evidence fragments serve as knowledgeable snippets supporting the factual dialogue replies. However, introducing irrelevant content often adversely impacts reply quality and easily leads to hallucinated responses. Prior work on evidence retrieval and integration in dialogue systems falls short of fully leveraging existing evidence since the model fails to locate useful fragments accurately and overlooks hidden evidence labels within the KIDG dataset. To fully Unleash the potential of evidence, we propose a framework to effectively incorporate Evidence in knowledge-Intensive Dialogue Generation (u-EIDG). Specifically, we introduce an automatic evidence generation framework that harnesses the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to mine reliable evidence veracity labels from unlabeled data. By utilizing these evidence labels, we train a reliable evidence indicator to effectively identify relevant evidence from retrieved passages. Furthermore, we propose an evidence-augmented generator with an evidence-focused attention mechanism, which allows the model to concentrate on evidenced segments. Experimental results on MultiDoc2Dial demonstrate the efficacy of evidential label augmentation and refined attention mechanisms in improving model performance. Further analysis confirms that the proposed method outperforms other baselines (+3~+5 points) regarding coherence and factual consistency.

  Pretrained language models (PLMs) based knowledge-grounded dialogue systems are prone to generate responses that are factually inconsistent with the provided knowledge source. Inspired by previous work which identified that feed-forward networks (FFNs) within Transformers are responsible for factual knowledge expressions, we investigate two methods to efficiently improve the factual expression capability.
