Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a dynamic topic tracking mechanism that tracks how the conversation topics change from one utterance to another and use the tracking information to rank candidate responses. A pre-trained language model may be used for response selection in the multi-party conversations, which consists of two steps: (1) a topic-based pre-training to embed topic information into the language model with self-supervised learning, and (2) a multi-task learning on the pretrained model by jointly training response selection and dynamic topic prediction and disentanglement tasks.
