Reinforcement and transfer learning, can be used to solve the problem of dialogue system. Reinforcement learning can solve the problem of delayed feedback in multiple rounds of dialogue, while transfer learning can help target areas by using data from similar fields, which can solve the problems of traditional intensive learning data.

In this work, we in AI are often drawn from disciplines other than survey 79 papers from the ACL anthology that NLP, such as computer vision (facial recognition) mention race. These papers reveal various (Buolamwini and Gebru, 2018) or machine learn- types of race-related bias in all stages of NLP ing (recidivism risk prediction) (Angwin et al., model development, highlighting the need for 2016). Even the presence of racial biases in search proactive consideration of how NLP systems engines like Google (Sweeney, 2013; Noble, 2018) can uphold racial hierarchies. However, per- sistent gaps in research on race and NLP re- has prompted little investigation in the ACL com- main: race has been siloed as a niche topic munity. Work on NLP and race remains sparse, and remains ignored in many NLP tasks; most particularly in contrast to concerns about gender work operationalizes race as a fixed single- bias, which have led to surveys, workshops, and dimensional variable with a ground-truth label, shared tasks (Sun et al., 2019; Webster et al., 2019).
