Dialogue State

Dialogue state tracking (DST) aims to maintain a dynamic representation of a conversation's key information, enabling systems to understand user goals and respond appropriately. Current research focuses on improving DST's accuracy and efficiency, particularly in complex scenarios like multi-modal interactions (combining text and visual data) and multilingual dialogues, often employing large language models (LLMs) and novel architectures like those based on table manipulations or graph representations. These advancements are crucial for building more robust and natural-feeling conversational agents across diverse applications, from virtual assistants to human-robot interaction.
