• Authors: Aron Molnar, Jaap Jumelet, Mario Giulianelli, Arabella Sinclair
• Abstract summary: Repetition is typically penalised when evaluating language model generations. Humans use local and partner specific repetitions; these are preferred by human users and lead to more successful communication in dialogue. In this study, we evaluate (a) whether language models produce human-like levels of repetition in dialogue, and (b) what are the processing mechanisms related to lexical re-use they use during comprehension.

• Abstract: Language models are often used as the backbone of modern dialogue systems. These models are pre-trained on large amounts of written fluent language. Repetition is typically penalised when evaluating language model generations. However, it is a key component of dialogue. Humans use local and partner specific repetitions; these are preferred by human users and lead to more successful communication in dialogue. In this study, we evaluate (a) whether language models produce human-like levels of repetition in dialogue, and (b) what are the processing mechanisms related to lexical re-use they use during comprehension. We believe that such joint analysis of model production and comprehension behaviour can inform the development of cognitively inspired dialogue generation systems.

  Recent advancements in spoken dialogue models, exemplified by systems like GPT-4o, have captured significant attention in the speech domain. These advanced spoken dialogue models not only comprehend audio, music, and other speech-related features, but also capture stylistic and timbral characteristics in speech. Despite the progress in spoken dialogue systems, there is a lack of comprehensive surveys that systematically organize and analyze these systems.

  PK-Chat is a Pointer network guided generative dialogue model, incorporating a unified pretrained language model and a pointer network over knowledge graphs. The words generated by PK-Chat in the dialogue are derived from the prediction of word lists and the direct prediction of the external knowledge graph knowledge. Based on the PK-Chat, a dialogue system is built for academic scenarios in the case of geosciences.

  We present a novel approach for pre-trained dialogue modeling that casts the dialogue generation problem as a prompt-learning task. Instead of fine-tuning on limited dialogue data, our approach, DialogPrompt, learns continuous prompt embeddings optimized for dialogue contexts. Our approach significantly outperforms the fine-tuning baseline and the generic prompt-learning methods.
