MEEP: An Open-Source Platform for Human-Human Dialog Collection and End-to-End Agent Training
This provides a tool for researchers in dialog systems to gather data and train agents, but it is incremental as it builds on existing dialog platform concepts.
The authors introduced MEEP, an open-source platform for collecting human-human dialog data and training end-to-end task-oriented agents, demonstrated with a trip planning assistant.
We create a new task-oriented dialog platform (MEEP) where agents are given considerable freedom in terms of utterances and API calls, but are constrained to work within a push-button environment. We include facilities for collecting human-human dialog corpora, and for training automatic agents in an end-to-end fashion. We demonstrate MEEP with a dialog assistant that lets users specify trip destinations.
