Invited Talk 1 Q/A - Milica Gašić

Current dialogue models are unnatural, narrow in domain and frustrating for users. Ultimately, we would rather like to converse with continuously evolving, human-like dialogue models at ease with large and extending domains. Limitations of the dialogue state tracking module, which maintains all information about what has happened in the dialogue so far, are central to this challenge. Its ability to extend its domain of operation is directly related to how natural the user perceives the system. I will talk about some of the latest research coming from the HHU Dialogue Systems and Machine Learning group that addresses this question.
