There has been considerable progress made towards conversational models that generate coherent and fluent responses; however, this often involves training large language models on large dialogue datasets, such as Reddit. These large conversational models provide little control over the generated responses, and this control is further limited in the absence of annotated conversational datasets for attribute specific generation that can be used for fine-tuning the model. In this paper, we first propose and evaluate plug-and-play methods for controllable response generation, which does not require dialogue specific datasets and does not rely on fine-tuning a large model. While effective, the decoding procedure induces considerable computational overhead, rendering the conversational model unsuitable for interactive usage. To overcome this, we introduce an approach that does not require further computation at decoding time, while also does not require any fine-tuning of a large language model. We demonstrate, through extensive automatic and human evaluation, a high degree of control over the generated conversational responses with regard to multiple desired attributes, while being fluent.

Large transformer-based language models (LMs) trained on huge text corpora have shown unparalleled generation capabilities. However, controlling attributes of the generated language (e.g. switching topic or sentiment) is difficult without modifying t
he model architecture or fine-tuning on attribute-specific data and entailing the significant cost of retraining. We propose a simple alternative: the Plug and Play Language Model (PPLM) for controllable language generation, which combines a pretrained LM with one or more simple attribute classifiers that guide text generation without any further training of the LM. In the canonical scenario we present, the attribute models are simple classifiers consisting of a user-specified bag of words or a single learned layer with 100,000 times fewer parameters than the LM. Sampling entails a forward and backward pass in which gradients from the attribute model push the LMs hidden activations and thus guide the generation. Model samples demonstrate control over a range of topics and sentiment styles, and extensive automated and human annotated evaluations show attribute alignment and fluency. PPLMs are flexible in that any combination of differentiable attribute models may be used to steer text generation, which will allow for diverse and creative applications beyond the examples given in this paper.
Text autoencoders are commonly used for conditional generation tasks such as style transfer. We propose methods which are plug and play, where any pretrained autoencoder can be used, and only require learning a mapping within the autoencoders embeddi
ng space, training embedding-to-embedding (Emb2Emb). This reduces the need for labeled training data for the task and makes the training procedure more efficient. Crucial to the success of this method is a loss term for keeping the mapped embedding on the manifold of the autoencoder and a mapping which is trained to navigate the manifold by learning offset vectors. Evaluations on style transfer tasks both with and without sequence-to-sequence supervision show that our method performs better than or comparable to strong baselines while being up to four times faster.
Conventional Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC) has been well-addressed by pattern matching, but the ability of commonsense reasoning remains a gap between humans and machines. Previous methods tackle this problem by enriching word representations v
ia pre-trained Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGE). However, they make limited use of a large number of connections between nodes in Knowledge Graphs (KG), which could be pivotal cues to build the commonsense reasoning chains. In this paper, we propose a Plug-and-play module to IncorporatE Connection information for commonsEnse Reasoning (PIECER). Beyond enriching word representations with knowledge embeddings, PIECER constructs a joint query-passage graph to explicitly guide commonsense reasoning by the knowledge-oriented connections between words. Further, PIECER has high generalizability since it can be plugged into suitable positions in any MRC model. Experimental results on ReCoRD, a large-scale public MRC dataset requiring commonsense reasoning, show that PIECER introduces stable performance improvements for four representative base MRC models, especially in low-resource settings.
This thesis investigates the controllability of deep learning-based, end-to-end, generative dialogue systems in both task-oriented and chit-chat scenarios. In particular, we study the different aspects of controlling generative dialogue systems, incl
uding controlling styles and topics and continuously adding and combining dialogue skills. In the three decades since the first dialogue system was commercialized, the basic architecture of such systems has remained substantially unchanged, consisting of four pipelined basic components, namely, natural language understanding (NLU), dialogue state tracking (DST), a dialogue manager (DM) and natural language generation (NLG). The dialogue manager, which is the critical component of the modularized system, controls the response content and style. This module is usually programmed by rules and is designed to be highly controllable and easily extendable. With the emergence of powerful deep learning architectures, end-to-end generative dialogue systems have been proposed to optimize overall system performance and simplify training. However, these systems cannot be easily controlled and extended as the modularized dialogue manager can. This is because a single neural system is used, which is usually a large pre-trained language model (e.g., GPT-2), and thus it is hard to surgically change desirable attributes (e.g., style, topics, etc.). More importantly, uncontrollable dialogue systems can generate offensive and even toxic responses. Therefore, in this thesis, we study controllable methods for end-to-end generative dialogue systems in task-oriented and chit-chat scenarios. Throughout the chapters, we describe 1) how to control the style and topics of chit-chat models, 2) how to continuously control and extend task-oriented dialogue systems, and 3) how to compose and control multi-skill dialogue models.
This paper presents an empirical study of conversational question reformulation (CQR) with sequence-to-sequence architectures and pretrained language models (PLMs). We leverage PLMs to address the strong token-to-token independence assumption made in
the common objective, maximum likelihood estimation, for the CQR task. In CQR benchmarks of task-oriented dialogue systems, we evaluate fine-tuned PLMs on the recently-introduced CANARD dataset as an in-domain task and validate the models using data from the TREC 2019 CAsT Track as an out-domain task. Examining a variety of architectures with different numbers of parameters, we demonstrate that the recent text-to-text transfer transformer (T5) achieves the best results both on CANARD and CAsT with fewer parameters, compared to similar transformer architectures.
