Thesis a Generic and Model-agnostic Evaluation

Lannion, France Orange Temps plein

Orange has implemented various bot solutions, and records large amounts of human-machine and human-to-human conversations for customer care. Often, these conversations are not rigorously evaluated.
Large language models (LLMs) are a breakthrough in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including the development of agents capable of solving complex tasks [6]. Moreover, developing chatbots has become democratized. It is likely that there will be a proliferation of solutions in the near future. The boundaries between various NLP tasks and the domains (e.g. tourism, restaurant, retail, technical support, etc.) are blurring.
The evaluation of the various solutions is becoming a real need, it is necessary to broaden the scope of evaluation and to make it transposable.
Inspired by the game theory [7], interpretability [2] and self-driving cars [8], we will infer the strategy that has been followed by the dialogue system [10]. We will work both on public (WebShop, ALFWorld,...) and private Orange (Technical Assistance, Commercial Bots, etc.) datasets.
