In quires machines to communicate with humans real-world scenario, annotating data such as in- through multi-turn interactions between two tents and slots is expensive. Inspired by the studies salient dialogue states of decision making and of reading comprehension (Rajpurkar et al., 2016, question generation processes. In open CMR 2018; Zhang et al., 2020c, 2021), there appears a settings, as the more realistic scenario, the re- trieved background knowledge would be noisy, more general task — conversational machine read- which results in severe challenges in the in- ing (CMR) (Saeidi et al., 2018): given the inquiry, formation transmission.
