Existing retrieval-based human-computer conversation systems are intended to reply to user utterances based on existing utterance-response pairs.
Side-by-side evaluation shows that DocChat is a good complement for human-computer conversation systems using utterance-response pairs as the primary source of responses.
We introduce DocChat a novel information retrieval approach for human-computer conversation systems that can use unstructured documents rather than semi-structured utterance-response pairs, to react to user utterances.

Why are we justified in thinking that you will form a justified belief in response to our utterance?
