## Abstract (arXiv)

There is a growing interest in improving the conversational ability of models by filtering the raw dialogue corpora. Previous filtering strategies usually rely on a scoring method to assess and discard samples from one perspective, enabling the model to enhance the corresponding dialogue attributes (e.g., consistency) more easily. However, the discarded samples may obtain high scores in other perspectives and can provide regularization effects on the model learning, which causes the performance improvement to be sensitive to the filtering ratio. In this work, we propose a multi-view attribute-enhanced dialogue learning framework that strengthens the attribute-related features more robustly and comprehensively. Instead of filtering the raw dataset to train the model, our framework first pre-trains the model on the raw dataset and then fine-tunes it through adapters on the selected sub-sets, which also enhances certain attributes of responses but without suffering from the problems mentioned above. Considering the variety of the dialogue attribute, we further design a multi-view enhancement mechanism, including multi-view selection and inter-view fusion. It groups the high-quality samples from multiple perspectives, respectively, and enhances different attributes of responses with the corresponding sample sets and adapters, keeping knowledge independent and allowing flexible integration. Empirical results and analysis show that our framework can improve the performance significantly in terms of enhancing dialogue attributes and fusing view-specific knowledge.
