• Abstract: Generating large-scale, domain-specific, multilingual multi-turn dialogue datasets remains a significant hurdle for training effective Multi-Turn Intent Classification models in chatbot systems. In this paper, we introduce Chain-of-Intent, a novel mechanism that combines Hidden Markov Models with Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate contextually aware, intent-driven conversations through self-play. By extracting domain-specific knowledge from e-commerce chat logs, we estimate conversation turns and intent transitions, which guide the generation of coherent dialogues. Leveraging LLMs to enhance emission probabilities, our approach produces natural and contextually consistent questions and answers. We also propose MINT-CL, a framework for multi-turn intent classification using multi-task contrastive learning, improving classification accuracy without the need for extensive annotated data. Evaluations show that our methods outperform baselines in dialogue quality and intent classification accuracy, especially in multilingual settings, while significantly reducing data generation efforts. Furthermore, we release MINT-E, a multilingual, intent-aware multi-turn e-commerce dialogue corpus to support future research in this area.

  This paper presents two novel approaches to enhance scalability and reduce latency in production dialogue systems. First, we introduce Symbol Tuning, which simplifies intent labels to reduce task complexity and improve performance in multi-turn dialogues. Second, we propose C-LARA, a framework that employs LLMs for data augmentation and pseudo-labeling to generate synthetic multi-turn dialogues.

  DIALIGHT is a toolkit for developing and evaluating multilingual Task-Oriented Dialogue (ToD) systems. It features a secure, user-friendly web interface for fine-grained human evaluation at both local utterance level and global dialogue level. Our evaluations reveal that while PLM fine-tuning leads to higher accuracy and coherence, LLM-based systems excel in producing diverse and likeable responses.

  We propose a parameter-efficient prompt-tuning method named DialCLIP for multi-modal dialog retrieval. Our approach introduces a multi-modal context generator to learn context features which are distilled into prompts within the pre-trained vision-language model CLIP. To facilitate various types of retrieval, we also design multiple experts to learn mappings from CLIP outputs to multi-modal representation space.

  Large pre-trained language models (PLMs) have shown impressive unaided performance across many NLP tasks. For more complex tasks such as dialogue state tracking (DST), designing prompts that reliably convey the desired intent is nontrivial. We introduce a saliency model to limit dialogue text length, allowing us to include more exemplars per query.
