Anticipating Safety Issues in E2E Conversational AI: Framework and Tooling (2021, background): “This context can be dialog history/ previous turns as e.g. the case in task-based systems via dialog state tracking (Henderson, 2015).”
Neural Approaches to Conversational AI (2018, neutral): “s how the user is trying to interact with the dialog system. In the past, DST can either be created by experts, or obtained from data by statistical learning algorithms like conditional random ﬁelds (Henderson, 2015). More recently, neural approaches have started to gain popularity, with application”
Evaluating Prerequisite Qualities for Learning End-to-End Dialog Systems (2015, methodology): “…Vinyals & Le, 2015; Sordoni et al., 2015) directly generate a response given the last user utterance and (potentially) the context from previous dialog turns without relying on the intermediate use of a dialog state tracking component like in traditional dialog systems (e.g. in Henderson (2015)).”
Frames: a corpus for adding memory to goal-oriented dialogue systems (2017, methodology): “We propose Frame tracking as an extension of state tracking (Henderson, 2015) to a setting where several semantic frames are tracked simultaneously.”
Iterative policy learning in end-to-end trainable task-oriented neural dialog models (2017, background): “Belief Tracking Belief tracker, or dialog state tracker [37, 38], continuously tracks the user’s goal by accumulating evidence in the conversation.”
Latent Intention Dialogue Models (2017, background): “…typically adopt the POMDP framework (Young et al., 2013) and break down the development of the dialogue systems into a pipeline of modules: natural language understanding (Henderson, 2015), dialogue manage-Latent ment (Ga ˇ si ´ c et al., 2013), and natural language generation (Wen et al., 2015).”
Towards End-to-End Reinforcement Learning of Dialogue Agents for Information Access (2016, background): “, 2016b), consisting of: a belief tracker module for identifying user intents, extracting associated slots, and tracking the dialogue state (Yao et al., 2014; Hakkani-Tür et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2016b; Henderson et al., 2014; Henderson, 2015); an interface with the database to query for relevant ”
End-to-End Reinforcement Learning of Dialogue Agents for Information Access (2016, background): “…Hakkani-T¨ur et al., 2016; Chen et al., 2016), a dialogue state tracker which tracks the user goal and dialogue history (Henderson et al., 2014; Henderson, 2015), a dialogue policy which selects the next system action based on the current state (Young et al., 2013), and a natural language…”
Recent advances in deep learning based dialogue systems: a systematic survey (2021, background): “A dialogue state contains all essential information to be conveyed in the response (Henderson, 2015).”
