To generate proper responses to user queries, multi-turn chatbot models should selectively consider dialogue histories. However, previous chatbot models have simply concatenated or averaged vector representations of all previous utterances without co...
During multi-turn dialogue, with the increase in dialogue turns, the difficulty of intention recognition and the generation of the following sentence reply become more and more difficult. This paper mainly optimizes the context information extraction...
In the Knowledge Grounded Dialogue (KGD) generation, the explicit modeling of instance-variety of knowledge specificity and its seamless fusion with the dialogue context remains challenging. This paper presents an innovative approach, the Knowledge I...
Emotion Recognition in Conversation (ERC) aims to recognize the emotion for each utterance in a conversation automatically. Due to the difficulty of collecting and labeling, this task lacks the dataset corpora available on a large scale. This increas...
Knowledge selection plays a crucial role in knowledge-driven dialogue generation methods, directly influencing the accuracy, relevance, and coherence of generated responses. Existing research often overlooks the handling of disparities between dialog...
The recent advancements in multimodal dialogue systems have been gaining importance in several domains such as retail, travel, fashion, among others. Several existing works have improved the understanding and generation of multimodal dialogues. Howev...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a life-long neurological disability, and a cure has not yet been found. ASD begins early in childhood and lasts throughout a person’s life. Through early intervention, many actions can be taken to improve the quality...
