Echoes in AI: Quantifying lack of plot diversity in LLM outputs

Weijia Xu, Nebojsa Jojic, Sudha Rao +2

With rapid advances in large language models (LLMs), there has been an increasing application of LLMs in creative content ideation and generation. A critical question emerges: can…

GODEL: Large-Scale Pre-Training for Goal-Directed Dialog

Baolin Peng, Michel Galley, Pengcheng He +6

We introduce GODEL (Grounded Open Dialogue Language Model), a large pre-trained language model for dialog. In contrast with earlier models such as DialoGPT, GODEL leverages a new p…

RetGen: A Joint framework for Retrieval and Grounded Text Generation Modeling

Yizhe Zhang, Siqi Sun, Xiang Gao +5

Recent advances in large-scale pre-training such as GPT-3 allow seemingly high quality text to be generated from a given prompt. However, such generation systems often suffer from…

A Controllable Model of Grounded Response Generation

Zeqiu Wu, Michel Galley, Chris Brockett +8

Current end-to-end neural conversation models inherently lack the flexibility to impose semantic control in the response generation process, often resulting in uninteresting respon…

Image-Grounded Conversations: Multimodal Context for Natural Question and Response Generation

Nasrin Mostafazadeh, Chris Brockett, Bill Dolan +4

The popularity of image sharing on social media and the engagement it creates between users reflects the important role that visual context plays in everyday conversations. We pres…

A Diversity-Promoting Objective Function for Neural Conversation Models

Jiwei Li, Michel Galley, Chris Brockett +2

Sequence-to-sequence neural network models for generation of conversational responses tend to generate safe, commonplace responses (e.g., "I don't know") regardless of the input. W…
