Abstract
As Task-Oriented Dialog (TOD) systems have advanced, structured DB systems, which aim to collect relevant knowledge for answering user’s questions, have also progressed. Despite these advancements, these methods face challenges when dealing with subjective questions from users. To overcome this, DSTC11 released a subjective-knowledge-based TOD (SK-TOD) dataset and benchmark. This paper introduces a framework that effectively solves SK-TOD tasks by leveraging a Large Language Model (LLM). We demonstrate the proficient use of LLM for each sub-task, including an adapters-based method and knowledge-grounded data augmentation. Our proposed methods, which utilize LLM as an efficient tool, outperform baseline performance and approaches that directly use LLM as a one-step sub-task solver, showing superior task-specific optimization.
