A large knowledge graph offers far too many factually valid options, and most would feel unnatural in conversation. The authors treat choosing the next entity as learning walks over a KG conditioned on dialog context. They build… 2. **[Dialogue Learning with Human Teaching and Feedback in End-to-End Trainable Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2018-dialogue-learning-human-teaching-feedback/)** *(2018 · 212 citations)* Task-oriented dialogue agents are often pre-trained with supervised learning on dialogue corpora and then refined with reinforcement learning (RL) from user feedback. 3. **[Bootstrapping a Neural Conversational Agent with Dialogue Self-Play, Crowdsourcing and On-Line Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shah-2018-bootstrapping-neural-conversational-agent-dialogue/)** *(2018 · 181 citations)* The paper addresses a practical obstacle for task-oriented conversational agents. End-to-end neural models need large annotated dialogue corpora, which are costly to build for every new domain. Wizard-of-Oz collection also often misses dialogue flows a developer expects the agent to handle. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bing Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bing-liu/) ×2 - [Dilek Hakkani-Tür](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dilek-hakkani-tur/) ×2 - [Gokhan Tur](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gokhan-tur/) ×2 - [Anuj Kumar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anuj-kumar/) - [Rajen Subba](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rajen-subba/) - [Seungwhan Moon](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/seungwhan-moon/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/) ×2: [NAACL 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2018/) ×2 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2019/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 2,415 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [184 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pararth-shah/cited-by/).
