Abstract
Chit-chat models are known to have several problems: they lack specificity, do not display a consistent personality and are often not very captivating. In this work we present the task of making chit-chat more engaging by conditioning on profile information. We collect data and train models to (i) condition on their given profile information; and (ii) information about the person they are talking to, resulting in improved dialogues, as measured by next utterance prediction. Since (ii) is initially unknown our model is trained to engage its partner with personal topics, and we show the resulting dialogue can be used to predict profile information about the interlocutors.
One of the tasks that we fine-tuned the model on is ConvAI2 (or "Persona-chat") which specifically aims to improve the model's consistency by conditioning its responses on a given persona. See here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.07243. In this research we found that conditioning on…
