基于Prompt策略的医疗对话生成

Controlled Medical Dialogue Generation Based on Prompt

构建医疗对话系统可以缓和医疗资源紧缺和医疗资源分配不均的现状,在对话系统构建方面,如何结合已获取的知识生成对话语句是重要研究内容之一。Prompt指预先输入到语言模型的一组字符序列或编码,后续的推断从这里开始,从而影响整个语句的内容生成。该文先用医疗领域语料来对预训练语言模型进行精调,以学习医疗语句潜在的语义,然后设计Prompt方案将医疗实体引入对话生成模型,使生成的对话能够携带预设的知识,达到受控对话生成的目的。通过在医疗对话数据集MedDG上的实验验证,该文提出的方案能有效改善医疗对话生成的效果。

Prompt refers to a set of characters or an encoding vector that are pre-input to the language model,there-by affecting the content generation.This paper first uses medical corpus to fine-tune the pretrained language model to learn the underlying semantics of medical sentences.Then it proposes a prompt scheme to introduce medical enti-ties into the dialogue generation model,so that the generated dialogue can carry preset knowledge.Validated on the medical dialogue data set MedDG,the scheme proposed in this study can effectively improve the effect of medical di-alogue generation.
