	<span>Overview
	</span></h2>

<p>DialoGPT was proposed in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.00536" rel="nofollow">DialoGPT: Large-Scale Generative Pre-training for Conversational Response Generation</a> by Yizhe Zhang, Siqi Sun, Michel Galley, Yen-Chun Chen, Chris Brockett, Xiang Gao,
Jianfeng Gao, Jingjing Liu, Bill Dolan. It’s a GPT2 Model trained on 147M conversation-like exchanges extracted from
Reddit.</p>
<p>The abstract from the paper is the following:</p>
<p><em>We present a large, tunable neural conversational response generation model, DialoGPT (dialogue generative pre-trained
transformer). Trained on 147M conversation-like exchanges extracted from Reddit comment chains over a period spanning
from 2005 through 2017, DialoGPT extends the Hugging Face PyTorch transformer to attain a performance close to human
both in terms of automatic and human evaluation in single-turn dialogue settings. We show that conversational systems
that leverage DialoGPT generate more relevant, contentful and context-consistent responses than strong baseline
systems. The pre-trained model and training pipeline are publicly released to facilitate research into neural response
generation and the development of more intelligent open-domain dialogue systems.</em></p>
<p>Tips:</p>
<ul><li>DialoGPT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather
than the left.</li>
<li>DialoGPT was trained with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective on conversational data and is therefore powerful
at response generation in open-domain dialogue systems.</li>
<li>DialoGPT enables the user to create a chat bot in just 10 lines of code as shown on <a href="https://huggingface.co/microsoft/DialoGPT-medium" rel="nofollow">DialoGPT’s model card</a>.</li></ul>
<p>Training:</p>
<p>In order to train or fine-tune DialoGPT, one can use causal language modeling training. To cite the official paper: <em>We
follow the OpenAI GPT-2 to model a multiturn dialogue session as a long text and frame the generation task as language
modeling. We first concatenate all dialog turns within a dialogue session into a long text x_1,…, x_N (N is the
sequence length), ended by the end-of-text token.</em> For more information please confer to the original paper.</p>
<p>DialoGPT’s architecture is based on the GPT2 model, so one can refer to <a href="gpt2">GPT2’s documentation page</a>.</p>
