Knowledge-graph based Proactive Dialogue Generation with Improved Meta-Learning
share
Knowledge graph-based dialogue systems can narrow down knowledge candidates for generating informative and diverse responses with the use of prior information, e.g., triple attributes or graph paths. However, most current knowledge graph (KG) cover incomplete domain-specific knowledge. To overcome this drawback, we propose a knowledge graph based proactive dialogue generation model (KgDg) with three components, improved model-agnostic meta-learning algorithm (MAML), knowledge selection in knowledge triplets embedding, and knowledge aware proactive response generator. For knowledge triplets embedding and selection, we formulate it as a problem of sentence embedding to better capture semantic information. Our improved MAML algorithm is capable of learning general features from a limited number of knowledge graphs, which can also quickly adapt to dialogue generation with unseen knowledge triplets. Extensive experiments are conducted on a knowledge aware dialogue dataset (DuConv). The results show that KgDg adapts both fast and well to knowledge graph-based dialogue generation and outperforms state-of-the-art baseline.
