Imperfect also Deserves Reward: Multi-Level and Sequential Reward Modeling for Better Dialog Management

1 code implementation NAACL 2021 Zhengxu Hou, Bang Liu, Ruihui Zhao, Zijing Ou, Yafei Liu, Xi Chen, Yefeng Zheng

For task-oriented dialog systems, training a Reinforcement Learning (RL) based Dialog Management module suffers from low sample efficiency and slow convergence speed due to the sparse rewards in RL. To solve this problem, many strategies have been proposed to give proper rewards when training RL, but their rewards lack interpretability and cannot accurately estimate the distribution of state-action pairs in real dialogs.

Speaker or Listener? The Role of a Dialog Agent

no code implementations Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 Yafei Liu, Hongjin Qian, Hengpeng Xu, JinMao Wei

However, along with the proactive manner introduced into a dialogue agent, an issue arises that, with too many knowledge facts to express, the agent starts to talks endlessly, and even completely ignores what the other expresses in dialogue sometimes, which greatly harms the interest of the other chatter to continue the conversation.
