Introduction

Natural Language Generation (NLG) in task-oriented dialogue system is a critical component in task-oriented dialogue systems, which has attracted increasing research attention.

NLG aims to convert dialogue acts into natural language responses. The example is shown in the table below: the input contains dialogue act inform and slot value pairs (name=Blue Spice, priceRange=low, familyFriendly=yes), and the task of NLG is to transform the input into the corresponding natural language reply: "The Blue Spice is a low cost venue. It is a family friendly location."

Input inform (name = Blue Spice, priceRange =low, familyFriendly = yes)
Output The Blue Spice is a low cost venue. It is a family friendly location.

For the purpose of alleviating pressure in article/dataset collation, we worked on sorting out the relevant data sets, papers, codes and lists of NLG in this project.

At present, the project has been completely open source, including:

  1. NLG domain dataset sorting table: we sorted out the dataset used in NLG field. You can index in it and get the message of general scale, basic structure, content, characteristics, source and acquisition method of the dataset you want to know.
  2. Articles and infos in different directions in the field of NLG: we classified and arranged the papers according to the current mainstream frontiers. Each line of the list contains not only the title of the paper, but also the year of publication, the source of publication, the paper link and code link for quick indexing, as well as the dataset used.
  3. Leaderboard list on the mainstream datasets of NLG: we sorted out the leaderboard on the mainstream datasets. In addition to the paper/model/method name and related scores, each line also has links to year, paper and code if it has.

The taxonomy of deeplearning-based models in TOD NLG can be summarized into this picture below.
