Practical neural dialogue management using pretrained language models
Task-oriented dialogue systems pose a significant challenge due to their complexity and the need to handle components such as language understanding, state tracking, action selection, and language generation. In this work, we explore the improvements in dialogue management using pretrained language …

AN ARCHITECTURE FOR DIALOGUE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS (FRAMEWORK, MODELING DYNAMIC, METHODOLOGY).
The management of man-computer dialogues involves policies, procedures, and methodologies that enable users and designers to control, monitor, and enhance the user-computer interface. Effective dialogue management can be facilitated by a computer-aided work-bench of dialogue management tools that …

The Attention-Hesitation Model. A Non-Intrusive Intervention Strategy for Incremental Smart Home Dialogue Management
… is how human attention can be incorporated into dialogue management, to improve Human-Agent Interaction (HAI) in smart homes. Research shows that speakers’ hesitations are often produced as a reaction to the listener’s inattentiveness in HHI. Furthermore, they can improve the listeners’ …

Trend Analysis of Belief-State History with Discrete Wavelet Transform for Improved Intention Discovery
… of software customization, especially via dialogue in natural language. While most of the existing approaches use POMDP-based dialogue management, this thesis research proposes to introduce historical information of belief states into the POMDP model and to analyze its trend with discrete …

Sample-Efficient Reinforcement Learning for Spoken Dialogue Systems
… the development of a general open-domain dialogue system capable of engaging in natural conversations with humans remains a challenging task. Developing effective dialogue systems poses a challenge in the face of non-deterministic environments. Users exhibit diverse behaviors, making it …

Reinforcement learning for trading dialogue agents in non-cooperative negotiations
Recent advances in automating Dialogue Management have been mainly made in cooperative environments -where the dialogue system tries to help a human to meet their goals. In non-cooperative environments though, such as competitive trading, there is still much work to be done. The complexity of such …

Controllable Language Generation Using Deep Learning
… accomplish this objective I develop a rule-based Dialogue Management System (DMS), Program-R, which operates through the Ryan companionbot. Program-R incorporates controllable elements like sentiment and facial expression recognition. It uses these factors to choose the most fitting response from …

Reinforcement Learning and Reward Estimation for Dialogue Policy Optimisation
Modelling dialogue management as a reinforcement learning task enables a system to learn to act optimally by maximising a reward function. This reward function is designed to induce the system behaviour required for goal-oriented applications, which usually means fulfilling the user’s goal as …

The structure and development of human-computer interfaces
The Dialogue Management System (DMS), the setting for this research, is a system for designing, implementing, testing, and modifying interactive human-computer systems. As in the early stages of software engineering development, current approaches to human-computer interface design are ad hoc, …

Data-Driven Policy Optimisation for Multi-Domain Task-Oriented Dialogue
… conversational agents that act optimally given a dialogue context is an open challenge. The first step towards that goal is developing an efficient way of learning a dialogue policy in new domains. Secondly, it is important to have the ability to collect and utilise human-human conversational data …
