Context-Aware NLP Models for Improved Dialogue Management

Abstract

Context-aware natural language processing (NLP) models have become instrumental in advancing dialogue management systems by enabling a deeper understanding of conversational context. Traditional dialogue systems often rely on sequential text inputs, limiting their ability to respond meaningfully across longer interactions or track the subtle nuances of user intents. By incorporating context-awareness, NLP models can dynamically adjust their responses based on past conversational cues, user history, and environmental factors, resulting in more coherent, personalized, and engaging interactions. This paper examines the recent advancements in context-aware NLP models for dialogue management, highlighting key methodologies such as memory networks, transformer-based architectures, and multi-turn conversation tracking. The potential applications of these models span various sectors, from customer service automation to personal virtual assistants, making them highly relevant for user-focused applications where understanding user intent over extended dialogue is crucial. The challenges of context-aware NLP, including scalability, data privacy, and ambiguity resolution, are discussed alongside future research directions aimed at enhancing the robustness and versatility of dialogue systems.
