فهم اللغة المنطوقة، عادة بما في ذلك اكتشاف النوايا وملء الفتحات، هو مكون أساسي لبناء نظام حوار منطوق. تظهر الأبحاث الحديثة نتائج واعدة من خلال التعلم المشترك بين هذين المهامتين بناء على حقيقة أن ملء الفتحة والكشف عن النوايا تشارك المعرفة الدلالية. علاوة على ذلك، فإن آلية الاهتمام تعزز التعلم المشترك لتحقيق نتائج أحدث من الفن. ومع ذلك، فإن نماذج التعلم المشتركة الحالية تتجاهل الحقائق المهمة التالية: 1. لا يتم تتبع سياق فتحة طويلة الأجل بشكل فعال، وهو أمر حاسم لملء الفتحات المستقبلية. 2. يمكن أن تكون الفتحة وعلامات الكشف عن النية مجزية بشكل متبادل، ولكن التفاعل ثنائي الاتجاه بين ملء الفتحات والكشف عن النوايا لا يزال نادرا ما تم استكشافه. في هذه الورقة، نقترح نهجا جديدا لنموذج سياق فتحة طويلة الأجل واستخدام العلاقة الدلالية بالكامل بين الفتحات والمحالة. نعتمد شبكة الذاكرة ذات القيمة الرئيسية لنموذج سياق الفتحة ديناميكيا وتتبع علامات فتحة أكثر أهمية فك شفرة من قبل، والتي يتم تغذيتها بعد ذلك في وحدة فك التشفير الخاصة بنا للحصول على علامات الفتحة. علاوة على ذلك، يتم استخدام معلومات الذاكرة الدائرية لأداء الكشف عن النية، وتحسين المهام المتبادلة من خلال التحسين العالمي. تظهر التجارب على معيار ATIS و SHITS DataSets أن نموذجنا يحقق أداء حديثة وتفوق على طرق أخرى، خاصة بالنسبة لمهمة ملء الفتحة.
Spoken language understanding, usually including intent detection and slot filling, is a core component to build a spoken dialog system. Recent research shows promising results by jointly learning of those two tasks based on the fact that slot filling and intent detection are sharing semantic knowledge. Furthermore, attention mechanism boosts joint learning to achieve state-of-the-art results. However, current joint learning models ignore the following important facts: 1. Long-term slot context is not traced effectively, which is crucial for future slot filling. 2. Slot tagging and intent detection could be mutually rewarding, but bi-directional interaction between slot filling and intent detection remains seldom explored. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model long-term slot context and to fully utilize the semantic correlation between slots and intents. We adopt a key-value memory network to model slot context dynamically and to track more important slot tags decoded before, which are then fed into our decoder for slot tagging. Furthermore, gated memory information is utilized to perform intent detection, mutually improving both tasks through global optimization. Experiments on benchmark ATIS and Snips datasets show that our model achieves state-of-the-art performance and outperforms other methods, especially for the slot filling task.

This paper aims at providing a comprehensive overview of recent developments in dialogue state tracking (DST) for task-oriented conversational systems. We introduce the task, the main datasets that have been exploited as well as their evaluation metr
ics, and we analyze several proposed approaches. We distinguish between static ontology DST models, which predict a fixed set of dialogue states, and dynamic ontology models, which can predict dialogue states even when the ontology changes. We also discuss the model's ability to track either single or multiple domains and to scale to new domains, both in terms of knowledge transfer and zero-shot learning. We cover a period from 2013 to 2020, showing a significant increase of multiple domain methods, most of them utilizing pre-trained language models.
Dialogue policy optimisation via reinforcement learning requires a large number of training interactions, which makes learning with real users time consuming and expensive. Many set-ups therefore rely on a user simulator instead of humans. These user
simulators have their own problems. While hand-coded, rule-based user simulators have been shown to be sufficient in small, simple domains, for complex domains the number of rules quickly becomes intractable. State-of-the-art data-driven user simulators, on the other hand, are still domain-dependent. This means that adaptation to each new domain requires redesigning and retraining. In this work, we propose a domain-independent transformer-based user simulator (TUS). The structure of TUS is not tied to a specific domain, enabling domain generalization and the learning of cross-domain user behaviour from data. We compare TUS with the state-of-the-art using automatic as well as human evaluations. TUS can compete with rule-based user simulators on pre-defined domains and is able to generalize to unseen domains in a zero-shot fashion.
Continual learning in task-oriented dialogue systems allows the system to add new domains and functionalities overtime after deployment, without incurring the high cost of retraining the whole system each time. In this paper, we propose a first-ever
continual learning benchmark for task-oriented dialogue systems with 37 domains to be learned continuously in both modularized and end-to-end learning settings. In addition, we implement and compare multiple existing continual learning baselines, and we propose a simple yet effective architectural method based on residual adapters. We also suggest that the upper bound performance of continual learning should be equivalent to multitask learning when data from all domain is available at once. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed architectural method and a simple replay-based strategy perform better, by a large margin, compared to other continuous learning techniques, and only slightly worse than the multitask learning upper bound while being 20X faster in learning new domains. We also report several trade-offs in terms of parameter usage, memory size and training time, which are important in the design of a task-oriented dialogue system. The proposed benchmark is released to promote more research in this direction.
In goal-oriented dialogue systems, users provide information through slot values to achieve specific goals. Practically, some combinations of slot values can be invalid according to external knowledge. For example, a combination of cheese pizza'' (a
menu item) and oreo cookies'' (a topping) from an input utterance Can I order a cheese pizza with oreo cookies on top?'' exemplifies such invalid combinations according to the menu of a restaurant business. Traditional dialogue systems allow execution of validation rules as a post-processing step after slots have been filled which can lead to error accumulation. In this paper, we formalize knowledge-driven slot constraints and present a new task of constraint violation detection accompanied with benchmarking data. Then, we propose methods to integrate the external knowledge into the system and model constraint violation detection as an end-to-end classification task and compare it to the traditional rule-based pipeline approach. Experiments on two domains of the MultiDoGO dataset reveal challenges of constraint violation detection and sets the stage for future work and improvements.
In this paper we argue that to make dialogue systems able to actively explain their decisions they can make use of enthymematic reasoning. We motivate why this is an appropriate strategy and integrate it within our own proof-theoretic dialogue manage
r framework based on linear logic. In particular, this enables a dialogue system to provide reasonable answers to why-questions that query information previously given by the system.
