• Title: Conversation Chronicles: Towards Diverse Temporal and Relational Dynamics in Multi-Session Conversations
• Authors: Jihyoung Jang, Minseong Boo, Hyounghun Kim
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new 1M multi-session dialogue dataset, Conversation Chronicles, for implementing a long-term conversation setup. We show that dialogue episodes in Conversation Chronicles reflect those properties while maintaining coherent and consistent interactions. We also propose a dialogue model, called ReBot, which consists of chronological summarization and dialogue generation modules.

• Abstract: In the field of natural language processing, open-domain chatbots have emerged as an important research topic. However, a major limitation of existing open-domain chatbot research is its singular focus on short single-session dialogue, neglecting the potential need for understanding contextual information in multiple consecutive sessions that precede an ongoing dialogue. Among the elements that compose the context in multi-session conversation settings, the time intervals between sessions and the relationships between speakers would be particularly important. Despite their importance, current research efforts have not sufficiently addressed these dialogical components. In this paper, we introduce a new 1M multi-session dialogue dataset, called Conversation Chronicles, for implementing a long-term conversation setup in which time intervals and fine-grained speaker relationships are incorporated. Following recent works, we exploit a large language model to produce the data. The extensive human evaluation shows that dialogue episodes in Conversation Chronicles reflect those properties while maintaining coherent and consistent interactions across all the sessions. We also propose a dialogue model, called ReBot, which consists of chronological summarization and dialogue generation modules using only around 630M parameters. When trained on Conversation Chronicles, ReBot demonstrates long-term context understanding with a high human engagement score.

  In open domain multi turn dialogue generation, it is essential to modeling the contextual semantics of the dialogue history. Previous research had verified the effectiveness of the hierarchical recurrent encoder-decoder framework on open domain multi turn dialogue generation. We propose a static and dynamic attention-based approach to model the dialogue history and then generate open domain multi turn dialogue responses.

Our study shows that sequences related to social talk are indeed naturally present, motivating further research on ways chitchat is combined into task-oriented dialogues.

  GapChat is a multi-session dialogue dataset in which the time between each session varies. While the dataset is constructed in real-time, progress on events in speakers' lives is simulated in order to create realistic dialogues occurring across a long timespan. We show that time-aware models perform better in metrics that judge the relevance of the chosen topics and the information gained from the conversation.
