Foundation Models (FMs) have demonstrated unprecedented capabilities including zero-shot learning, high fidelity data synthesis, and out of domain generalization. However, as we show in this paper, FMs still have poor out-of-the-box…

We present VOnDA, a framework to implement the dialogue management functionality in dialogue systems. Although domain-independent, VOnDA is tailored towards dialogue systems with a focus on social communication, which implies the need of…
