An Attentional Neural Conversation Model with Improved Specificity
TLDR
Experimental results indicate that the model outperforms previously proposed neural conversation architectures, and that using specificity in the objective function significantly improves performances for both generation and retrieval.
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dialogue Generation
TLDR
This work simulates dialogues between two virtual agents, using policy gradient methods to reward sequences that display three useful conversational properties: informativity, non-repetitive turns, coherence, and ease of answering.
Spoken Dialogue Management Using Probabilistic Reasoning
TLDR
This work uses a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP)-style approach to generate dialogue strategies by inverting the notion of dialogue state; the state represents the user's intentions, rather than the system state.
Comparing System-response Retrieval Models for Open-domain and Casual Conversational Agent
TLDR
This study indicates that the task of assessing the validity of a system-response given a human-utterance is subjective to an important extent, and is thus a difficult task.
