ABSTRACT
This tutorial surveys neural approaches to conversational AI that were developed in the last few years. We group conversational systems into three categories: (1) question answering agents, (2) task-oriented dialogue agents, and (3) social bots. For each category, we present a review of state-of-the-art neural approaches, draw the connection between neural approaches and traditional symbolic approaches, and discuss the progress we have made and challenges we are facing, using specific systems and models as case studies.

Towards an Open-Doman Dialog System
ICTIR '19: Proceedings of the 2019 ACM SIGIR International Conference on Theory of Information RetrievalDeveloping an intelligent dialogue system that not only emulates human conversation, but also can answer questions of topics ranging from latest news of a movie star to Einstein's theory of relativity, and fulfill complex tasks such as travel planning, ...
Conversational gaze mechanisms for humanlike robots
During conversations, speakers employ a number of verbal and nonverbal mechanisms to establish who participates in the conversation, when, and in what capacity. Gaze cues and mechanisms are particularly instrumental in establishing the participant roles ...
Endowing Virtual Characters with Expressive Conversational Skills
IVA '09: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual AgentsWhen humans interact with one another, socially intelligent conversational behaviors arise from the interaction of a number of different factors: the conversants' personality, cultural knowledge, the ability to observe and reason about social ...
