SimpleTOD: A Simple Language Model For Task Oriented Dialogue

We propose a simple causal (unidirectional) language model for Task-oriented Dialogue. SimpleTOD enables modeling of the inherent dependencies between the sub-tasks of task-oriented dialogue, by optimizing for all tasks in an end-to-end manner.
