# MTL-task-dialog
The MTL-task-dialog model was proposed in [**MVP: Multi-task Supervised Pre-training for Natural Language Generation**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.12131) by Tianyi Tang, Junyi Li, Wayne Xin Zhao and Ji-Rong Wen.

The detailed information and instructions can be found [https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP](https://github.com/RUCAIBox/MVP).

## Model Description
MTL-task-dialog is supervised pre-trained using a mixture of labeled task-oriented system datasets. It is a variant (Single) of our main [MVP](https://huggingface.co/RUCAIBox/mvp) model. It follows a standard Transformer encoder-decoder architecture.

MTL-task-dialog is specially designed for task-oriented system tasks, such as MultiWOZ.

## Example
```python
>>> from transformers import MvpTokenizer, MvpForConditionalGeneration

>>> tokenizer = MvpTokenizer.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mvp")
>>> model = MvpForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("RUCAIBox/mtl-task-dialog")

>>> inputs = tokenizer(
...     "Given the task dialog: System response [X_SEP] I'm looking for a affordable BBQ restaurant in Dallas for a large group of guest.",
...     return_tensors="pt",
... )
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs)
>>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
['What date and time would you like to go?']
```
