Concept Graph & Resume using Claude 3 Opus | Chat GPT4 | Gemini Adv | Llama 3:

Resume:

1.-Recent large language models generate natural responses and are being improved, along with cheaper compute and public conversational datasets.

2.-Challenges remain in reaching ultimate conversational machines, despite progress. The talk discusses challenges based on interviews with dialogue researchers.

3.-Historically, research focused on task-oriented and open-domain chatbots. Recent approaches combine knowledge integration and end-to-end methods.

4.-Language models hallucinate, producing inaccurate responses. Knowledge grounding to textual resources during generation can help but has challenges.

5.-Lack of clear boundaries between knowledge-seeking, chatting and task-oriented turns. More work needed on transitions between them.

6.-Generating synthetic conversational data with large language models is promising to augment limited human-annotated datasets.

7.-Unsafe, abusive, unethical responses must be avoided. Progress made with human feedback, reinforcement learning, but more work needed.

8.-Dialogue systems should control interactions, take initiative, and pursue an agenda. Complex developer policies are challenging to enforce.

9.-Automated evaluation of dialogue response generation remains difficult. Human evaluation is recommended but can be expensive and subjective.

10.-Integrating diverse knowledge sources, including structured and unstructured, static and dynamic information, is an open challenge.

11.-Tools like APIs, calculators, translators help models accurately respond. Tool integration can be done in pre-training, fine-tuning or prompting.

12.-Response safety to prevent unfair, unethical, biased content is critical. Filtering, human feedback, learning to rewrite are promising approaches.

13.-Initiative and agenda-based dialogues, beyond just user-driven interactions, are important but require more annotated data and research.

14.-Evaluation through human judgments or automatic metrics remains challenging. Standardized protocols and more agreement between communities is needed.

15.-Personalization to learn user preferences over time through past interactions and user teaching is a broad and important topic.

16.-Speech-based interactions enable new applications but pose challenges due to disfluencies, lack of punctuation, and different noise types.

17.-Visual information from user video, shared content, situational context is key for many applications. Vision-language models show promise.

18.-Ingesting context - conversational history, previous sessions, ambient signals, world events - can help interpretation and coherence but is complex.

19.-Language models are not yet equivalent to dialogue models. Recent progress is exciting but challenges remain to inspire new ideas.

20.-Prompting language models is an empirical approach that may benefit data generation, control, but less clear for speech/vision integration.

21.-Symbolic AI approaches with abstraction, association, treating LLMs as meta-programming platforms is another research direction warranting more investigation.

22.-AI may surpass humans on summarization but lag on empathy. Comparisons depend on the task. More comprehensive evaluation than Turing test needed.

23.-Converting user queries to knowledge graph queries can leverage structured knowledge bases. Data-to-text generation is also important but under-researched.

24.-Controlling persuasive dialogues to take initiative and pursue an agenda safely requires more annotated data or unsupervised learning approaches.

25.-Verifying quality of generated prompts and responses can use top sampling, rejection, or automated metrics, but human screening may still be needed.

26.-Active learning with human-in-the-loop is promising to reduce data needs but can be hard to scale compared to reinforcement learning from feedback.

27.-Lack of open-domain spoken conversation data is a major challenge. Collecting and releasing speech datasets has practical difficulties.

28.-Beyond data, revival of prosody, disfluency, punctuation prediction research from speech signals could help robustness of recent open-domain chatbots.

29.-Integration of neural outputs with syntactic rules and linguistic knowledge to fix speech recognition errors is an open question. Data may still be key.

30.-In the new era of open-domain chatbots, revisiting classic dialogue challenges with modern tools can reveal problems and new solutions.
