OTTers: One-turn Topic Transitions for Open-Domain Dialogue (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sevegnani, K., Howcroft, D. M., Konstas, I., & Rieser, V. (2021, August). OTTers: One-turn Topic Transitions for Open-Domain Dialogue. Presented at 59th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 11th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing, Online

Mixed initiative in open-domain dialogue requires a system to pro-actively introduce new topics. The one-turn topic transition task explores how a system connects two topics in a cooperative and coherent manner. The goal of the task is to generate a...
