• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have made dialogue one of the central modes in human-machine interaction, leading to the vast amounts of conversation logs and increasing demand for dialogue generation. The dialogue's life-cycle spans from the $\textit{Prelude}$ through the $\textit{Interlocution}$ to the $\textit{Epilogue}$, encompassing rich dialogue elements. Despite the large volumes of dialogue-related studies, there is a lack of benchmark that encompasses comprehensive dialogue elements, which hinders precise modeling, generation and systematic evaluation. To bridge this gap, in this paper, we introduce a new research task $\textbf{D}$ialogue $\textbf{E}$lement $\textbf{MO}$deling, including $\textit{Element Awareness}$ and $\textit{Dialogue Agent Interaction}$, and propose a novel benchmark, $\textbf{DEMO}$, designed for a comprehensive dialogue modeling and assessment. On this basis, we further build the DEMO agent with the adept ability to model dialogue elements via imitation learning. Extensive experiments on DEMO indicate that current representative LLMs still have considerable potential for enhancement, and our DEMO agent performs well in both dialogue element modeling and out-of-domain tasks.

  Previous works mostly focus on generating better responses but ignore interpretability, which is extremely important for constructing reliable dialogue systems. We propose an emotional support response generation scheme, named $textbfE$motion-Focused and $textbfS$trategy-Driven. We also conduct extensive experiments and human evaluations to validate the effectiveness of the proposed ESCoT and generated dialogue responses.

  We propose a novel "Self-Explanation" prompting strategy to enhance the comprehension abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) This task-agnostic approach requires the model to analyze each dialogue utterance before task execution, thereby improving performance across various dialogue-centric tasks. Experimental results from six benchmark datasets confirm that our method consistently outperforms other zero-shot prompts and matches or exceeds the efficacy of few-shot prompts.

  How to build and use dialogue data efficiently, and how to deploy models in different domains at scale can be critical issues in building a task-oriented dialogue system. We propose a novel manual-guided dialogue scheme, where the agent learns the tasks from both dialogue and manuals. Our proposed scheme reduces the dependence of dialogue models on fine-grained domain ontology, and makes them more flexible to adapt to various domains.

  We present a multimodal dialogue generation model, which takes the dialogue history as input, then generates a textual sequence or an image as response. We consider multimodal dialogue generation under a natural assumption that only limited training examples are available. In such a low-resource setting, we devise a novel conversational agent, Divter, in order to isolate parameters that depend on multimodal dialogues from the entire model.
