The 1st Workshop on Customized Chat Grounding Persona and Knowledge

Workshop Description

Humans usually have conversations by making use of prior knowledge about a topic and background information of the people whom they are talking to. However, existing conversational agents and datasets do not consider such comprehensive information, and thus they have a limitation in generating the utterances where the knowledge and persona are fused properly.

Following the manner of humans’ conversation, a conversational agent’s ability to have a conversation with customized answers from prior knowledge and user’s personal information is crucial for satisfying the users. In our workshop on Customized Chat Grounding Persona and Knowledge, researchers and students will share their prospects and latest discoveries. We also host new shared tasks with the new dataset where the customized answers are built with the user's persona and Wikipedia knowledge.

The workshop aims to:

• The conversational agents that are capable of choosing the proper persona and knowledge to answer the question from the users.

• The conversational agents that are capable of generating more knowledgeable and customized answers, reflecting both knowledge and persona.
