Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri or Google's assistant are able to converse with humans using language. The underlying technology - often referred to as spoken dialogue systems - have experienced a revolution over the past decade, moving from being completely handcrafted to using data-driven machine learning methods.
In this talk, I will review current developments including my work on using reinforcement learning and deep learning models, and evaluate these methods in the light of results from real-world applications. In particular, I will report our experience from experimenting with these models for generating responses in open-domain social dialogue as part of the Amazon Alexa Prize challenge, as well as for task-based system as part of the E2E NLG challenge - a shared task organised by my team.
