Similarity Scoring for Dialogue Behaviour Comparison

no code implementations SIGDIAL (ACL) 2020 Stefan Ultes, Wolfgang Maier

The differences in decision making between behavioural models of voice interfaces are hard to capture using existing measures for the absolute performance of such models.

Blending Task Success and User Satisfaction: Analysis of Learned Dialogue Behaviour with Multiple Rewards

no code implementations SIGDIAL (ACL) 2021 Stefan Ultes, Wolfgang Maier

Recently, principal reward components for dialogue policy reinforcement learning use task success and user satisfaction independently and neither the resulting learned behaviour has been analysed nor a suitable proper analysis method even existed.

System-Initiated Transitions from Chit-Chat to Task-Oriented Dialogues with Transition Info Extractor and Transition Sentence Generator

no code implementations6 Aug 2023 Ye Liu, Stefan Ultes, Wolfgang Minker, Wolfgang Maier

In this work, we study dialogue scenarios that start from chit-chat but eventually switch to task-related services, and investigate how a unified dialogue model, which can engage in both chit-chat and task-oriented dialogues, takes the initiative during the dialogue mode transition from chit-chat to task-oriented in a coherent and cooperative manner.

Unified Conversational Models with System-Initiated Transitions between Chit-Chat and Task-Oriented Dialogues

no code implementations4 Jul 2023 Ye Liu, Stefan Ultes, Wolfgang Minker, Wolfgang Maier

We contribute two efficient prompt models which can proactively generate a transition sentence to trigger system-initiated transitions in a unified dialogue model.

ConceptNet infused DialoGPT for Underlying Commonsense Understanding and Reasoning in Dialogue Response Generation

no code implementations29 Sep 2022 Ye Liu, Wolfgang Maier, Wolfgang Minker, Stefan Ultes

The pre-trained conversational models still fail to capture the implicit commonsense (CS) knowledge hidden in the dialogue interaction, even though they were pre-trained with an enormous dataset.

Context Matters in Semantically Controlled Language Generation for Task-oriented Dialogue Systems

no code implementations ICON 2021 Ye Liu, Wolfgang Maier, Wolfgang Minker, Stefan Ultes

We utilize the pre-trained multi-context ConveRT model for context representation in a model trained from scratch; and leverage the immediate preceding user utterance for context generation in a model adapted from the pre-trained GPT-2.

Empathetic Dialogue Generation with Pre-trained RoBERTa-GPT2 and External Knowledge

no code implementations7 Sep 2021 Ye Liu, Wolfgang Maier, Wolfgang Minker, Stefan Ultes

One challenge for dialogue agents is to recognize feelings of the conversation partner and respond accordingly.

GHHT at CALCS 2018: Named Entity Recognition for Dialectal Arabic Using Neural Networks

no code implementations WS 2018 Mohammed Attia, Younes Samih, Wolfgang Maier

This paper describes our system submission to the CALCS 2018 shared task on named entity recognition on code-switched data for the language variant pair of Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian dialectal Arabic.

Natural Language Input for In-Car Spoken Dialog Systems: How Natural is Natural?

no code implementations WS 2017 Patricia Braunger, Wolfgang Maier

By means of a comparative study of the utterances from the study with interpersonal utterances, we provide criteria what constitutes naturalness in the user input of an state-of-the-art automotive SDS.

An Arabic-Moroccan Darija Code-Switched Corpus

no code implementations LREC 2016 Younes Samih, Wolfgang Maier

In this paper, we describe our effort in the development and annotation of a large scale corpus containing code-switched data.

Discosuite - A parser test suite for German discontinuous structures

no code implementations LREC 2014 Wolfgang Maier, Miriam Kaeshammer, Peter Baumann, S K{\"u}bler, ra

However, for the evaluation of parser performance concerning a particular phenomenon, a test suite of sentences is needed in which this phenomenon has been identified.
