    • In my upcoming presentation, I plan to delve into RL-based task-oriented dialogue systems. I will elaborate on various DQN variants within the dialogue system context. Moreover, I aim to showcase the integration of benefits from both value-based and policy-based methods, demonstrating their modification for optimal utilization in dialogue systems. Additionally, I will discuss attentional and graph-based structural state representation within our framework.
