• Abstract: The advancement of conversational AI systems relies on the availability of high-quality, flexible, and reproducible synthetic dialogues for training, evaluation, and benchmarking. SDialog is a modular, extensible Python toolkit designed to address the challenges of synthetic dialogue generation and analysis. By leveraging instruction-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs), SDialog provides abstractions for personas, orchestration, and scenario management, enabling the creation of realistic, diverse, and controllable conversational data for research and development. SDialog supports workflows such as multi-agent simulation and scenario-driven generation, and represents a step forward in the standardization of tools and frameworks for synthetic data generation, a crucial advancement for ensuring reproducibility in today's fast-evolving research landscape.

  SynTOD is a new synthetic data generation approach for developing end-to-end Task-Oriented Dialogue (TOD) systems. It generates diverse, structured conversations through random walks and response simulation using large language models. In our experiments, using graph-guided response simulations leads to significant improvements in intent classification, slot filling and response relevance.

  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.
