Enhancing the Reliability and Continual Improvement of Neural Dialogue Systems

Neural dialogue systems have made impressive advancements in natural language understanding and generation, yet challenges in reliability and continual improvement persist. In this talk, I will present my work focused on improving the reliability of dialogue systems while emphasizing continual enhancement and improved control. Specifically, I will discuss two key components: DialGuide, a framework for aligning dialogue model behavior with developer guidelines, and target-guided response generation, which enables dialogue systems to smoothly transition conversations towards specific targets. DialGuide provides natural …
