MoDEsT: a Modular Dialogue Experiments and Demonstration Toolkit

Authors Info & Claims
Published:19 July 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a modular dialogue experiments and demonstration toolkit (MoDEsT) that assists researchers in planning tailored conversational AI-related studies. The platform can: 1) assist users in picking multiple templates based on specific task needs; 2) allow users to create their experiment/demo interface by selecting different components; and 3) support playback from dialogue history (i.e. logs). MoDEsT is an open-source platform, hosted on a university-managed publicly accessible server.
