An Information Retrieval Approach to Short Text Conversation

Abstract: Human computer conversation is regarded as one of the most difficult problems in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we address one of its key sub-problems, referred to as short text conversation, in which given a message from human, the computer returns a reasonable response to the message. We leverage the vast amount of short conversation data available on social media to study the issue. We propose formalizing short text conversation as a search problem at the first step, and employing state-of-the-art … Show more

“…Therefore, the key element is the query-response operation. In general, this problem has been formulated as a search problem and uses IR techniques for task completion [171]. Retrieval-based methods usually employ either Single-turn Response Matching or Multi-turn Response Matching.…”

“…The retrieve-and-generation approaches are developed for many tasks, including dialogue generation (Weston et al, 2018;, language modeling , code generation ) and text summarization (Rush et al, 2015;Cao et al, 2018a;Peng et al, 2019). Ji et al (2014) and focuses on prototype ranking in the retrieval-based model but they do not edit these retrieved prototypes. Re3Sum (Cao et al, 2018b) is an LSTM-based model developed under the retrieve-and-generation framework that retrieves multiple headlines and pick the single best retrieved headline, then edit.…”

“…In general, chat bots are implemented either by generative methods or retrieval-based methods. Generative models are able to generate more proper responses that could have never appeared in the corpus, while retrieval-based models enjoy the advantage of informative and fluent responses [30], because they select a proper response for the current conversation from a repository with response selection algorithms. In the following sections, we will first dive into the neural generative models, one of the most popular research topics in recent years, and discuss their drawbacks and possible improvements.…”
