Dialogue Response Selection

Dialogue response selection focuses on automatically choosing the most appropriate response from a set of candidates given a conversational history, aiming to improve the naturalness and effectiveness of dialogue systems. Current research emphasizes improving model performance through techniques like contrastive learning, incorporating syntactic information for better context understanding, and addressing the challenges of multi-intent utterances and topic shifts within conversations. These advancements are crucial for building more engaging and human-like conversational agents, impacting fields ranging from customer service chatbots to virtual assistants.
