[Mary Marre]

When:     Wednesday, April 20th at 11am

Where:    TTIC, 6045 S. Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526

Who:       Jiwei Li, Stanford


Title:       Neural Dialogue Generation.

Abstract:
Recent neural generation models present both new opportunities and new
challenges
for developing conversational agents. In this talk, I will describe how we
have advanced this line of research by addressing four different issues in
neural dialogue generation*:* (1) overcoming the overwhelming prevalence of
dull responses (e.g., "I don't know") generated from neural models*;* (2)
enforcing speaker consistency*;* (3) leveraging information from
conversational history*;* and (4) applying reinforcement learning to foster
sustained dialogue interactions.
