The traditional Dialogue State Tracking (DST) problem aims to track user
preferences and intents in user-agent conversations. While sufficient for
task-oriented dialogue systems supporting narrow domain applications, the
advent of Large Language Model (LLM)-based chat systems has introduced many
real-world intricacies in open-domain dialogues. These intricacies manifest in
the form of increased complexity in contextual interactions, extended dialogue
sessions encompassing a diverse array of topics, and more frequent contextual
shifts. To handle these intricacies arising from evolving LLM-based chat
systems, we propose joint dialogue segmentation and state tracking per segment
in open-domain dialogue systems. Assuming a zero-shot setting appropriate to a
true open-domain dialogue system, we propose S3-DST, a structured prompting
technique that harnesses Pre-Analytical Recollection, a novel grounding
mechanism we designed for improving long context tracking. To demonstrate the
efficacy of our proposed approach in joint segmentation and state tracking, we
evaluate S3-DST on a proprietary anonymized open-domain dialogue dataset, as
well as publicly available DST and segmentation datasets. Across all datasets
and settings, S3-DST consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art,
demonstrating its potency and robustness the next generation of LLM-based chat
systems.

对于基于大语言模型的聊天系统，我们提出了一种结合对话分割和状态跟踪的方法，在开放领域对话系统中处理来自演化的大语言模型聊天系统的复杂性并提高跟踪性能。我们的方法通过引入一种新的基于先前分析的回忆的接地机制来改善对长对话上下文的跟踪，并在一系列数据集和设置中得到了出色的表现，证明了其在下一代大语言模型聊天系统中的有效性和鲁棒性。
