Reducing conversational agents' overconfidence through linguistic calibration
Sabrina J. Mielke, Arthur Szlam, Emily Dinan +1
While improving neural dialogue agents' factual accuracy is the object of much research, another important aspect of communication, less studied in the setting of neural dialogue,…
Recipes for Safety in Open-domain Chatbots
Jing Xu, Da Ju, Margaret Li +3
Models trained on large unlabeled corpora of human interactions will learn patterns and mimic behaviors therein, which include offensive or otherwise toxic behavior and unwanted bi…
Controlling Style in Generated Dialogue
Eric Michael Smith, Diana Gonzalez-Rico, Emily Dinan +1
Open-domain conversation models have become good at generating natural-sounding dialogue, using very large architectures with billions of trainable parameters. The vast training da…
Deploying Lifelong Open-Domain Dialogue Learning
Kurt Shuster, Jack Urbanek, Emily Dinan +2
Much of NLP research has focused on crowdsourced static datasets and the supervised learning paradigm of training once and then evaluating test performance. As argued in de Vries e…
Open-Domain Conversational Agents: Current Progress, Open Problems, and Future Directions
Stephen Roller, Y-Lan Boureau, Jason Weston +13
We present our view of what is necessary to build an engaging open-domain conversational agent: covering the qualities of such an agent, the pieces of the puzzle that have been bui…
Multi-Dimensional Gender Bias Classification
Emily Dinan, Angela Fan, Ledell Wu +3
Machine learning models are trained to find patterns in data. NLP models can inadvertently learn socially undesirable patterns when training on gender biased text. In this work, we…
Recipes for building an open-domain chatbot
Stephen Roller, Emily Dinan, Naman Goyal +9
Building open-domain chatbots is a challenging area for machine learning research. While prior work has shown that scaling neural models in the number of parameters and the size of…
I love your chain mail! Making knights smile in a fantasy game world: Open-domain goal-oriented dialogue agents
Shrimai Prabhumoye, Margaret Li, Jack Urbanek +4
Dialogue research tends to distinguish between chit-chat and goal-oriented tasks. While the former is arguably more naturalistic and has a wider use of language, the latter has cle…
