“相关研究指出,用户提交给搜索引擎的查询通常为短查询。由于自然语言本身的特点,短查询通常具有歧义性,同一个查询可以指代不同的事物,或同一事物的不同方面。为了让搜索结果尽可能满足用户多样化的信息需求,搜索引擎需要对返回的结果进行多样化排序,搜索结果多样化技术应运而生。目前已有的基于全局交互的多样化方法通过全连接的自注意力网络捕获全体候选文档间的交互关系,取得了较好的效果。但由于此类方法只考虑文档间的相关关系,并没有考虑到文档是否具有跟查询相关的有效信息,在训练数据有限的条件下效率相对较低。该文提出了一种基于双星型自注意力网络的搜索结果多样化方法,将全连接结构改为星型拓扑结构,并嵌入查询信息以高效率地提取文档跟查询相关的全局交互特征。相关实验结果显示,该模型相对于基于全连接自注意力网络的多样化方法,具备显著的性能优势。”

It is appealing to have a system that generates a story or scripts automatically from a storyline, even though this is still out of our reach. In dialogue systems, it would also be useful to drive dialogues by a dialogue plan. In this paper, we address a key problem involved in these applications - guiding a dialogue by a narrative. The proposed model ScriptWriter selects the best response among the candidates that fit the context as well as the given narrative. It keeps track of what in the narrative has been said and what is to be said. A narrative plays a different role than the context (i.e., previous utterances), which is generally used in current dialogue systems. Due to the unavailability of data for this new application, we construct a new large-scale data collection GraphMovie from a movie website where end- users can upload their narratives freely when watching a movie. Experimental results on the dataset show that our proposed approach based on narratives significantly outperforms the baselines that simply use the narrative as a kind of context.
