TOD-flow

This repo is the implementation of EMNLP 2023 conference paper "TOD-Flow: Modeling the Structure of Task-Oriented Dialogues".

Note

You can skip the step with (Optional) since the output is pre-generated in the repo. If you want a full reproduction of the result, you can follow the instruction to regenerate those outputs.

Setup

You must complete all steps here before attempting to run any experiments!

Repository and environment setup

To setup the repository, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/srsohn/dialog_flow.git
cd dialog_flow
conda create --name todflow python=3.10 
conda activate todflow
pip install -e .

Some optional parts of the experiment reproduction involves using OpenAI API to access ChatGPT. To use the API, you must have an OpenAI API key, and set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY to be your API key.

Downloading data

We could not include the content under "datasets" and "outputs" folder due to its size. Before running any of our scripts, please download datasets.tar and move it into datasets folder, and untar it there. Also, please download outputs.tar and move it into the outputs folder, and untar it there.

Dialogue policy experiment on SGD and MultiWOZ

  1. (Optional) Preprocess data: The preprocessed data is pre-generated in datasets/. For full reproduction of result: see instruction in src/preprocessing/README.md

  2. (Optional) Run base LLM (GPT-3.5 and FLAN-T5): The LLM prediction is pre-generated in outputs/. Make sure you are in working directory dialog_flow/src. If you want to reproduce our result, you can run the following script:

    bash ../my_script/MW_run_GPT_T5.sh flan-t5-xxl
OPENAI_API_KEY=<openai-api-key> bash ../my_script/MW_run_GPT_T5.sh gpt-turbo
bash ../my_script/SGD_run_GPT_T5.sh flan-t5-xxl
OPENAI_API_KEY=<openai-api-key> bash ../my_script/SGD_run_GPT_T5.sh gpt-turbo

    This process may take hours and cost around $20 for GPT-turbo-3.5.

    If you run flan-t5, make sure that the pip-installed torch version is compatible with your cuda driver version. If not, you may need to manually reinstall a torch package that is compatible with your cuda driver version following instructions from official PyTorch Website.

  3. (Optional) Map LLM predictions to GT actions by running the following for both SGD and MultiWOZ (Make sure you are in working directory dialog_flow/src.):

    python3 map_prediction_to_GT_action_final.py MultiWOZ
python3 map_prediction_to_GT_action_final.py SGD

    The resulting files of completing steps 2 and 3 should have similar structure as the pre-generated LLM predictions in outputs/.

  4. (Optional) Infer TOD-flow graph. (Make sure you are in working directory dialog_flow/src.)

    bash ../my_script/generate_MWF_graph_csilp_final.sh
bash ../my_script/generate_MWF_graph_shdilp_final.sh
bash ../my_script/generate_SGD_graph_csilp_final.sh
bash ../my_script/generate_SGD_graph_shdilp_final.sh

    The resulting files should be graphs under graphs/ folder.

  5. Evalulate graph-conditioned dialogue policy by running the following: (Make sure you are in working directory dialog_flow/src.)

    python3 eval_GCDM_should.py SGD
python3 eval_GCDM_should.py MultiWOZ

    At the end of running each script, the resulting scores should match performance of "Ours" in Table 3 of our paper.

End-to-end experiment on MultiWOZ

  1. Clone the MultiWOZ_Evaluation repository at the same directory level as our TOD-flow repository. (If installed elsewhere, please modify line 11 of src/endtoend/run_grid_search.py to your cloned location)

    Then please change line 120 in mwzeval/metrics.py of that repository from if not has_domain_predictions(input_data): to if True:. We do this to ensure that we always use ground truth domains for evaluation and to get consistent results.

  2. (Optional) Preprocess data: The preprocessed data is pre-generated in datasets/. For full reproduction of result: see instruction in ./preprocessing/README.md

  3. (Optional) Run the base end-to-end dialogue models (GALAXY, HDNO, HDSA): The detailed process of producing predictions for each method is too complicated, as it involves cloning each method's official repository and manually making edits to parts of their codes to record multi-sampled results. We therefore omit the details for this step and recommend to simply use the pre-generated predictions in datasets/MultiWOZ/e2e

    Galaxy: datasets/MultiWOZ/e2e/galaxy_7full_pred.json
HDSA: datasets/MultiWOZ/e2e/hdsa_7new_pred.json
HDNO: datasets/MultiWOZ/e2e/hdno_7_pred.json

  4. Set your working directory to src/. All commands below should be executed from that working directory.

  5. Infer TOD-flow graph for end-to-end setting

    bash ../my_script/generate_MWF_graph_csilp_E2E.sh
bash ../my_script/generate_MWF_graph_shdilp_E2E.sh

  6. (Optional) Annotate the base model predictions using ChatGPT as NLU model (i.e. parsing predicted responses into actions).

    OPENAI_API_KEY=<openai-api-key> bash endtoend/run_all_GPT.sh <method_name>
OPENAI_API_KEY=<openai-api-key> bash endtoend/postprocess_all_GPT.sh <method_name>

    Where method name is one of GALAXY HDNO HDSA. The above steps may take hours and cost dozens of dollars as payment to OpenAI, with non-deterministic results. The results will be stored in datasets/MultiWOZ/e2e/<method_name>, where the xxx_actions.json stores the raw action predictions for each utterance from GPT, and xxx_predform.json stores them in standardized format for graph filtering.

    This process may take hours and cost around $150 for GPT-turbo-3.5.

  7. Evalulate graph-conditioned end-to-end dialogue model: run the command below:

    python3 endtoend/run_grid_search.py <method_name>

    Where <method_name> refers to one of GALAXY, HDNO, HDSA, and GALAXYSTAR. The program will print the best result and hyperparameters at the end.
