CookDial: A dataset for task-oriented dialogs grounded in procedural documents
This work presents a new dialog dataset, CookDial, that facilitates research on task-oriented dialog systems with procedural knowledge understanding. The corpus contains 260 human-to-human task-oriented dialogs in which an agent, given a recipe document, guides the user to cook a dish. Dialogs in CookDial exhibit two unique features: (i) procedural alignment between the dialog flow and supporting document; (ii) complex agent decision-making that involves segmenting long sentences, paraphrasing hard instructions and resolving coreference in the dialog context. In addition, we identify three challenging (sub)tasks in the assumed task-oriented dialog system: (1) User Question Understanding, (2) Agent Action Frame Prediction, and (3) Agent Response Generation. For each of these tasks, we develop a neural baseline model, which we evaluate on the CookDial dataset. We publicly release the CookDial dataset, comprising rich annotations of both dialogs and recipe documents, to stimulate further research on domain-specific document-grounded dialog systems.

DialogStitch: Synthetic Deeper and Multi-Context Task-Oriented Dialogs
Real-world conversational agents must effectively handle long conversations that span multiple contexts. Such context can be interspersed with chitchat (dialog turns not directly related to the task at hand), and potenti…
End-to-End Learning of Flowchart Grounded Task-Oriented Dialogs
We propose a novel problem within end-to-end learning of task-oriented dialogs (TOD), in which the dialog system mimics a troubleshooting agent who helps a user by diagnosing their problem (e.g., car not starting). Such …
