• Abstract: Dialogue state tracking (DST) is one of the core components in task-oriented dialogue systems. At each turn in a conversation, DST estimates the user belief or dialogue state, which is used as input for downstream modules to predict system actions and generate responses. The increasingly popular dialogue system applications like Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa need to support a large number of services and APIs, resulting in growing attention to the scalability of such systems. Especially for some domains with little or no training data, the capability of transferring existing knowledge of other domains is highly desired. In this paper, we present a novel scalable framework for multi-domain dialogue state tracking. The proposed system leverages the pretrained BERT model to achieve zero-shot generalization, making it easy to quickly adapt to new domains without additional training. The performance of our model is evaluated on recently released schema-based dialogue (SGD) dataset, showing significant improvement compared to previous baseline.

Despite significant progress, an ADEM that works well in one domain does not necessarily generalize to another. We propose a Panel of Experts (PoE) network that consists of a shared transformer encoder and a collection of lightweight adapters.

  We propose DiSTRICT, a generalizable in-context tuning approach for Dialogue State Tracking (DST) DSTRICT retrieves highly relevant training examples for a given dialogue to fine-tune the model without any hand-crafted templates. Experiments with the MultiWOZ benchmark datasets show that DiSTRICT outperforms existing approaches in various zero-shot and few-shot settings.

  We introduce the RADDLE benchmark, a collection of corpora and tools for evaluating the performance of models across a diverse set of domains. RADDLE is designed to favor and encourage models with a strong generalization ability. We evaluate recent state-of-the-art systems based on pre-training and fine-tuning, and find that grounded pre-training on heterogeneous dialog corpora performs better than training a separate model per domain.
