1. **[MoEL: Mixture of Empathetic Listeners](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lin-2019-moel-mixture-empathetic-listeners/)** *(2019 · 301 citations)* Most earlier empathetic chatbots either produce text in a predefined emotion or train one decoder that predicts emotion and generates replies together.
2. **[MinTL: Minimalist Transfer Learning for Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lin-2020-mintl-minimalist-transfer-learning-task/)** *(2020 · 239 citations)* Task-oriented dialogue systems typically need hand-built, task-specific components and large amounts of annotated data.
3. **[Language Models are Few-shot Multilingual Learners](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/winata-2021-language-models-are-few-shot/)** *(2021 · 173 citations)* The paper asks whether large language models trained mostly on English can perform multi-class intent classification in other languages through in-context learning alone, with no parameter updates.
