## Abstract (arXiv)

We demonstrate task-oriented dialogue generation within the dataflow dialogue paradigm. We show an example of agenda driven dialogue generation for the MultiWOZ domain, and an example of generation without an agenda for the SMCalFlow domain, where we show an improvement in the accuracy of the translation of user requests to dataflow expressions when the generated dialogues are used to augment the translation training dataset.
