This paper summarizes our submission to Task 2 of the second track of the 10th Dialog System Technology Challenge (DSTC10) "Knowledge-grounded Task-oriented Dialogue Modeling on Spoken Conversations". Similar to the previous year's…
This paper describes our dialogue system submitted to Dialogue Robot Competition 2023. The system's task is to help a user at a travel agency decide on a plan for visiting two sightseeing spots in Kyoto City that satisfy the user. Our…
Online conversation understanding is an important yet challenging NLP problem which has many useful applications (e.g., hate speech detection). However, online conversations typically unfold over a series of posts and replies to those…
Conversational systems use spoken language to interact with their users. Although conversational systems, such as Amazon Alexa, are becoming common and afford interesting functionalities, there is little known about the issues users of…
Despite end-to-end neural systems making significant progress in the last decade for task-oriented as well as chit-chat based dialogue systems, most dialogue systems rely on hybrid approaches which use a combination of rule-based, retrieval…
This paper describes the dialog robot system designed by Team Irisapu for the preliminary round of the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). In order to generate dialogue responses flexibly while adhering to predetermined scenarios, we…
Dialogue systems play an increasingly important role in various aspects of our daily life. It is evident from recent research that dialogue systems trained on human conversation data are biased. In particular, they can produce responses…
We developed a dialogue system as a team NTT-EASE in the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). We introduce a dialogue system (EASE-DRCBot) constructed for DRC2023. EASE-DRCBot incorporates a manually defined dialogue flow. The…
Empathetic dialogue is an indispensable part of building harmonious social relationships and contributes to the development of a helpful AI. Previous approaches are mainly based on fine small-scale language models. With the advent of…
Building dialogue systems that naturally converse with humans is being an attractive and an active research domain. Multiple systems are being designed everyday and several datasets are being available. For this reason, it is being hard to…
We introduce our system developed for Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 (DRC2023). First, rule-based utterance selection and utterance generation using a large language model (LLM) are combined. We ensure the quality of system utterances…
Semantic context surrounding a triplet $(h, r, t)$ is crucial for Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC), providing vital cues for prediction. However, traditional node-based message passing mechanisms, when applied to knowledge graphs, often…
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are essential in applications such as network alignment, question-answering, and recommender systems (RSs) since they offer structured relational data that facilitate the inference of indirect relationships. However,…
Building socialbots that can have deep, engaging open-domain conversations with humans is one of the grand challenges of artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, bots need to be able to leverage world knowledge spanning several domains…
Modeling human conversations is the essence for building satisfying chat-bots with multi-turn dialog ability. Conversation modeling will notably benefit from domain knowledge since the relationships between sentences can be clarified due to…
Fact-centric information needs are rarely one-shot; users typically ask follow-up questions to explore a topic. In such a conversational setting, the user's inputs are often incomplete, with entities or predicates left out, and…
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) and conversational assistants necessitates dynamic, scalable, and configurable conversational datasets for training and evaluation. These datasets must accommodate diverse user…
Making chatbots world aware in a conversation like a human is a crucial challenge, where the world may contain dynamic knowledge and spatiotemporal state. Several recent advances have tried to link the dialog system to a static knowledge…
In the research of end-to-end dialogue systems, using real-world knowledge to generate natural, fluent, and human-like utterances with correct answers is crucial. However, domain-specific conversational dialogue systems may be incoherent…
