We present our work on Track 2 in the Dialog System Technology Challenges 7 (DSTC7). The DSTC7-Track 2 aims to evaluate the response generation of fully data-driven conversation models in knowledge-grounded settings, which provides the contextual-relevant factual texts. The Sequenceto-Sequence models have been widely used for end-to-end generative conversation modelling and achieved impressive results. However, they tend to output dull and repeated responses in previous studies. Our work aims to promote the diversity for end-to-end conversation response generation, which follows a two-stage pipeline: 1) Generate multiple responses. At this stage, two different models are proposed, i.e., a variational generative (VariGen) model and a retrieval based (Retrieval) model. 2) Rank and return the most related response by training a topic coherence discrimination (TCD) model for the ranking process. According to the official evaluation results, our proposed Retrieval and VariGen systems ranked first and second respectively on objective diversity metrics, i.e., Entropy, among all participant systems. And the VariGen system ranked second on NIST and METEOR metrics.

In knowledge grounded conversation, domain knowledge plays an important role in a special domain such as Music. The response of knowledge grounded conversation might contain multiple answer entities or no entity at all. Although existing generative q
uestion answering (QA) systems can be applied to knowledge grounded conversation, they either have at most one entity in a response or cannot deal with out-of-vocabulary entities. We propose a fully data-driven generative dialogue system GenDS that is capable of generating responses based on input message and related knowledge base (KB). To generate arbitrary number of answer entities even when these entities never appear in the training set, we design a dynamic knowledge enquirer which selects different answer entities at different positions in a single response, according to different local context. It does not rely on the representations of entities, enabling our model deal with out-of-vocabulary entities. We collect a human-human conversation data (ConversMusic) with knowledge annotations. The proposed method is evaluated on CoversMusic and a public question answering dataset. Our proposed GenDS system outperforms baseline methods significantly in terms of the BLEU, entity accuracy, entity recall and human evaluation. Moreover,the experiments also demonstrate that GenDS works better even on small datasets.
This paper presents an end-to-end response selection model for Track 1 of the 7th Dialogue System Technology Challenges (DSTC7). This task focuses on selecting the correct next utterance from a set of candidates given a partial conversation. We propo
se an end-to-end neural network based on enhanced sequential inference model (ESIM) for this task. Our proposed model differs from the original ESIM model in the following four aspects. First, a new word representation method which combines the general pre-trained word embeddings with those estimated on the task-specific training set is adopted in order to address the challenge of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. Second, an attentive hierarchical recurrent encoder (AHRE) is designed which is capable to encode sentences hierarchically and generate more descriptive representations by aggregation. Third, a new pooling method which combines multi-dimensional pooling and last-state pooling is used instead of the simple combination of max pooling and average pooling in the original ESIM. Last, a modification layer is added before the softmax layer to emphasize the importance of the last utterance in the context for response selection. In the released evaluation results of DSTC7, our proposed method ranked second on the Ubuntu dataset and third on the Advising dataset in subtask 1 of Track 1.
We first propose a new task named Dialogue Description (Dial2Desc). Unlike other existing dialogue summarization tasks such as meeting summarization, we do not maintain the natural flow of a conversation but describe an object or an action of what pe
ople are talking about. The Dial2Desc system takes a dialogue text as input, then outputs a concise description of the object or the action involved in this conversation. After reading this short description, one can quickly extract the main topic of a conversation and build a clear picture in his mind, without reading or listening to the whole conversation. Based on the existing dialogue dataset, we build a new dataset, which has more than one hundred thousand dialogue-description pairs. As a step forward, we demonstrate that one can get more accurate and descriptive results using a new neural attentive model that exploits the interaction between utterances from different speakers, compared with other baselines.
Event extraction is challenging due to the complex structure of event records and the semantic gap between text and event. Traditional methods usually extract event records by decomposing the complex structure prediction task into multiple subtasks.
In this paper, we propose Text2Event, a sequence-to-structure generation paradigm that can directly extract events from the text in an end-to-end manner. Specifically, we design a sequence-to-structure network for unified event extraction, a constrained decoding algorithm for event knowledge injection during inference, and a curriculum learning algorithm for efficient model learning. Experimental results show that, by uniformly modeling all tasks in a single model and universally predicting different labels, our method can achieve competitive performance using only record-level annotations in both supervised learning and transfer learning settings.
In this work, we propose a new solution for parallel wave generation by WaveNet. In contrast to parallel WaveNet (van den Oord et al., 2018), we distill a Gaussian inverse autoregressive flow from the autoregressive WaveNet by minimizing a regularize
d KL divergence between their highly-peaked output distributions. Our method computes the KL divergence in closed-form, which simplifies the training algorithm and provides very efficient distillation. In addition, we introduce the first text-to-wave neural architecture for speech synthesis, which is fully convolutional and enables fast end-to-end training from scratch. It significantly outperforms the previous pipeline that connects a text-to-spectrogram model to a separately trained WaveNet (Ping et al., 2018). We also successfully distill a parallel waveform synthesizer conditioned on the hidden representation in this end-to-end model.
