Manual-Guided Dialogue for Flexible Conversational Agents. (arXiv:2208.07597v1 [cs.CL])

How to build and use dialogue data efficiently, and how to deploy models in
different domains at scale can be two critical issues in building a
task-oriented dialogue system. In this paper, we propose a novel manual-guided
dialogue scheme to alleviate these problems, where the agent learns the tasks
from both dialogue and manuals. The manual is an unstructured textual document
that guides the agent in interacting with users and the database during the
conversation. Our proposed scheme reduces the …
