Designing machine intelligence to converse with a human user necessarily requires an understanding of how humans participate in conversation, and thus conversation modeling is an important task in natural language processing. New breakthroughs in architecture and data gathering continue to push the performance of such conversational AI models. However, designs neglect the gradual buildup in sentence structure and complexity experienced by humans as we learn to communicate. During training, our model accepts one or more sentences as input and attempts to predict the next sentence in the conversation one word at a time, so our goal is to separate training into segments, with each segment's corpus comprised of longer sentence pairs than the previous one. This will mimic the desired "buildup" component of human learning. We begin with only "short" length sentence pairs, then only "medium" length pairs, and so on. A majority of our experiments were toward optimizing this technique, ensuring a proper representation of the technique's potential, since many of the details were new questions. Our segment-trained models were then able to achieve lower validation loss at the end of training than models trained with standard text preparation. This segmented training is straightforward to implement and our results provide a general direction for future research to implement and improve it.

为了与人类用户进行对话，需要设计能够进行人机交互的机器智能，因此会话建模是自然语言处理中的重要任务。一个新的机器会话模型使用了逐渐构建的句子结构和复杂度的培训方法来模拟人类学习的构建过程，其通过按照先“短”后“长”的句子对训练，最终比标准文本准备训练的模型具有更低的验证误差。
