"None of the Above":Measure Uncertainty in Dialog Response Retrieval

Computation and Language 2020-05-18 v2

Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of uncovering uncertainty in end-to-end dialog tasks, and presents our experimental results on uncertainty classification on the Ubuntu Dialog Corpus. We show that, instead of retraining models for this specific purpose, the original retrieval model's underlying confidence concerning the best prediction can be captured with trivial additional computation.
