会话搜索信息寻求对话中混合主动性的大规模分析

A Large-Scale Analysis of Mixed Initiative in Information-Seeking Dialogues for Conversational Search

Svitlana Vakulenko, Evangelos Kanoulas, Maarten de Rijke

摘要:

对话式搜索是一个相对年轻的研究领域,旨在自动化信息搜索对话。在本文中,我们通过分析信息寻求对话的结构特性,将其定位于对话式人工智能(AI)的其他研究领域。为此,我们对来自16个公开可用的对话数据集的超过15万份转录本进行了大规模对话分析。收集这些数据集是为了通知不同的基于对话的任务,包括对话搜索。我们从这些对话记录中提取了不同的混合主动模式,并使用它们来比较不同类型的对话。此外,我们将用于研究目的的信息寻求对话中发现的模式与专业图书馆员进行的虚拟参考访谈中发现的模式进行了对比。我们提供的见解(1)在对话式搜索和其他对话式AI任务之间建立密切关系;(2)揭示现有对话式数据集的局限性,为未来的数据汇集任务提供信息。

英文摘要:

Conversational search is a relatively young area of research that aims at automating an information-seeking dialogue. In this paper we help to position it with respect to other research areas within conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) by analysing the structural properties of an information-seeking dialogue. To this end, we perform a large-scale dialogue analysis of more than 150K transcripts from 16 publicly available dialogue datasets. These datasets were collected to inform different dialogue-based tasks including conversational search. We extract different patterns of mixed initiative from these dialogue transcripts and use them to compare dialogues of different types. Moreover, we contrast the patterns found in information-seeking dialogues that are being used for research purposes with the patterns found in virtual reference interviews that were conducted by professional librarians. The insights we provide (1) establish close relations between conversational search and other conversational AI tasks; and (2) uncover limitations of existing conversational datasets to inform future data collection tasks.
