Towards Persona-Based Empathetic Conversational Models
Table 6: Transfer test of CoBERT in R@1 (in %).
['TrainTest', 'happy', 'offmychest', 'PEC']
In general, in-domain test results are better than out-of-domain test results. The transfer performance from happy to offmychest (41.2%) and vice versa (28.8%) are comparable to in-domain performance of DIM (40.6% on offmychest and 31.3% on happy), suggesting that our model can generalize well across empathetic conversations in contrasting sentiments.
