Open Domain Dialogue Generation

Open-domain dialogue generation aims to create AI systems capable of engaging in natural, coherent conversations on any topic. Current research heavily utilizes transformer-based models, focusing on improving response diversity and relevance through techniques like data augmentation (including methods leveraging large language models), refined decoding strategies, and the incorporation of external knowledge sources (e.g., knowledge graphs, commonsense reasoning). These advancements are crucial for developing more engaging and informative conversational AI, with significant implications for various applications, including chatbots, virtual assistants, and educational tools.
