| "text": "There has been a recent surge of interest in building domain-specific question answering (QA) systems, in both academia and industry. Compelling realworld applications include customer services and decision-support, wherein there is strong reliance on such QA systems to be of high quality. A significant challenges for building QA systems is that domain-specific data is relatively sparse and much noisier, compared to samples from well-studied public benchmark datasets. Also, when the answer is not explicitly present in the context, models must generate new answers instead of extracting from document, adding complexity to the problem. In this paper, we make efforts toward building domain-oriented question answering systems, by tackling the two Doc2Dial shared-tasks 1 : knowledge identification and response generation. For knowledge identification (Subtask1), the main goal is to identify the grounding knowledge, in form of a document span, for the next-agent conversational turn. For response generation (Subtask2), the main objective is to generate the next-agent response, in natural language. We experiment with various baseline models, and we developed and evaluated our proposed solutions. Some improvement strategies we tried include post-processing, hyper-parameter tuning, and pre-training on other well-known datasets such as SQuAD (Rajpurkar et al., 2016) . We found that with carefully-selected hyperparameters, and with pre-processing and postprocessing heuristics, the baseline model's performance can be significantly improved: our best model is able to out-perform the provided baseline by 10.5+ f1-score on the test-dev split for Subtask1, and our best model for Subtask2 out-performed the baseline by 11+ SacreBleu score on test-dev.", | |

| "text": "There are many previous works that study the problem of dialogue-based question answering. Some of them only focused on answering the questions based on dialogue history alone (Ma et al., 2018; Li et al., 2020) , while, for others, the dialogue and question-answer pairs are based on a document . Most of these tasks are extractive in nature, meaning that the exact answer can be located in the document or dialogue. Among them, CoQA (Reddy et al., 2019 ) is the most similar task to Doc2Dial dataset. The main objective of the CoQA challenge is to measure machine learning models' ability to comprehend text and answer related questions that appear in a conversation; also, because some answers may not appear explicitly in the document, the model may be required to synthesize the answer based on evidence. The two sub-tasks we study in this paper differ from those described above-mainly in terms of dataset attributes. The Doc2Dial dataset mostly contains long documents and dialogues that inter-connect with each other. Moreover, the ground-truth answers in Doc2Dial are usually long as well, which makes the associated prediction tasks harder to tackle. Thus, the models and heuristics we have developed are mainly targeted towards handling these specific scenarios and problems.", | |

For each example, an entire document is used as the context and the reverse concatenated dialogue history is used as the question.

| "text": "Based on error analysis of baseline results, we found that the model is making a lot of empty predictions. This is mainly because the documents in Doc2Dial are very long, necessitating a slidingwindow approach. Consequently, if a text chunk does not contain any relevant information to the question, the model would predict no-answer with a very high confidence, preventing the model from choosing answers from other chunks. To alleviate this issue, we developed heuristics to post-process the prediction at inference time, to ensure that the model produces a valid answer. Specifically, we skip the empty prediction and select the candidate with the second highest probability at inference time. Also, prediction with the highest probability is extended to a longer span if another prediction candidate contains the prediction with the highest probability as sub-string and also has a higher start or end position probability. Besides postprocessing, we also increase the sliding-window overlap size to 256 and max answer length to 80 during training, so as to get more positive instances. Moreover, since the Doc2dial dataset size is relatively small, we pre-trained the model on other QA datasets and then fine-tuned on Doc2dial. To this end, we selected SQuAD 1.1, because it is a widely used span-extraction dataset, and CoQA, because of its similar task structure, where models must answer questions based on both dialogue history and document-based context.", | |

| "text": "For Subtask2, we start with error analysis of the baseline model and found that the model often generate responses based on the irrelevant content in the supporting documents. We hypothesize that this is because the document and the dialogue history are too long, thus it is hard for models to locate the relevant information and generate a response at the same time. If we keep only relevant knowledge grounding as input, the model will be able to generate better responses. To test this hypothesis, we used the model trained on Subtask1 to select a chunk of document to feed in as Subtask2 input, instead of the full document. Since the span selection model is not perfect, it can select a completely wrong span, which would prevent the Subtask2 model from producing a valid response. Thus to increase the recall, we start with the best-selected span and iterate over the top-20 span predictions, in order to expand the selected span boundary and cover the next best prediction, if the the next best span is near the current selection boundary. Here, we set the threshold to be less than 500 characters away. For example, given the current start and end indices of (400, 520), if the next span prediction is (580, 650), we will change the boundary to (400, 650). However, if the next span prediction is (1200, 1300), we will stop iteration and return (400, 520). We also experimented with the ground-truth response grounding span, in order to find an upper bound of this approach. Additionally, we only append the past two dialogue turns to the supporting document in the input, instead of using the whole dialogue history as in (Reddy et al., 2019) ; it is found that most questions in a dialogue only have limited dependency, and including the past two dialogue turns may give comparable performance as including the complete dialogue history. Another adjustment we make is to feed the past two turns of the dialogue to the decoder as input and the response will be generated following the past two dialogue turns. The intuition is that the decoder will also have more context to look at when generating its response, and we think this will make the task easier to learn. Finally, we are interested in studying the effect of adding data. Thus, we re-formulated the CoQA dataset into a dialogue response task, and we pretrained the BART model on CoQA before finetuning on Doc2Dial. Since the documents in CoQA are much shorter, we did not perform span selection as is proposed for Doc2Dial.", | |

For pretraining the model on SQuAD and CoQA datasets, we see that the model achieves a small performance gain in both cases, suggesting that more data is helping the model learning more effectively and that the selection of these pre-training tasks does not conflict with the downstream task at hand. The advantage of CoQA over SQuAD also suggests that tasks with similar structure may transfer better. Finally, with the increased size of the overlap between each sliding-window, we see a decent improvement over the baseline, indicating the usefulness of the carefully chosen hyper-parameters. However, when we combined the larger overlap stride with pre-training on CoQA or SQuAD, we did not see further improvement; we leave the further investigation of this issue to future work. ", | |

We see that, by adding the last 2 dialogue turns, the model's performance is improved by a large margin, showing that providing more context to the decoder indeed helps the model learn better. On the other hand, we see that pre-training on CoQA dataset actually leads to worse performance. We hypothesize that this is because of document length, where questions and answers for most dialogue turns in the CoQA dataset are much shorter than those of Doc2Dial datasets: models pre-trained on CoQA may not glean useful training signals for Doc2Dial.
