• Abstract summary: Socially-Aware Dialogue Assistant System (SADAS) is designed to ensure that conversations unfold with respect and understanding. Our system's novel architecture includes: (1) identifying the categories of norms present in the dialogue, (2) detecting potential norm violations, (3) evaluating the severity of these violations, and (4) implementing targeted remedies to rectify the breaches.

• Abstract: In today's globalized world, bridging the cultural divide is more critical than ever for forging meaningful connections. The Socially-Aware Dialogue Assistant System (SADAS) is our answer to this global challenge, and it's designed to ensure that conversations between individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds unfold with respect and understanding. Our system's novel architecture includes: (1) identifying the categories of norms present in the dialogue, (2) detecting potential norm violations, (3) evaluating the severity of these violations, (4) implementing targeted remedies to rectify the breaches, and (5) articulates the rationale behind these corrective actions. We employ a series of State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) techniques to build different modules, and conduct numerous experiments to select the most suitable backbone model for each of the modules. We also design a human preference experiment to validate the overall performance of the system. We will open-source our system (including source code, tools and applications), hoping to advance future research. A demo video of our system can be found at:~\url{https://youtu.be/JqetWkfsejk}. We have released our code and software at:~\url{https://github.com/AnonymousEACLDemo/SADAS}.

  This work is the first to study attribution for cross-lingual question answering. We collect data in 5 languages to assess the attribution level of a state-of-the-art cross-lingual QA system. We find that a substantial portion of the answers is not attributable to any retrieved passages.

  Contextualized or discourse aware commonsense inference is the task of generating coherent commonsense assertions. Some problems with the task are: lack of controllability for topics of the inferred facts; lack of commonsense knowledge during training. We develop techniques to address the aforementioned problems in the task.

  CGoDial is a new challenging and comprehensive Chinese benchmark for Goal-oriented Dialog evaluation. It contains 96,763 dialog sessions and 574,949 dialog turns totally, covering three datasets with different knowledge sources. To bridge the gap between academic benchmarks and spoken dialog scenarios, we either collect data from real conversations or add spoken features to existing datasets via crowd-sourcing.

  We conduct comprehensive evaluation and analysis with respect to the robustness of natural language understanding models. We introduce three important aspects related to language understanding in real-world dialog systems, namely, language variety, speech characteristics, and noise perturbation. We propose a model-agnostic toolkit LAUG to approximate natural perturbation for testing the robustness issues in dialog systems.
