User: What is the tallest mountain?
Agent: Everest
User: Where is it located? # Agent hears: "Where is Everest located?"
Agent: Nepal

I want to be able to generate a sequence that has been generated using the user's current query as well as the past conversation.

More specifically, I am using Google's T5 for closed-book question answering, but, instead of trivial questions, we use the user's frequently asked queries.

I want to be able to encode their past questions and the agent's past answers, then use them to generate the agent's next answer. How can I do that?

  • $\begingroup$ Hello. I edited your post. Please, make sure I didn't change its meaning. In particular, I added this part "we use the user's frequently asked queries.", because what you had originally written wasn't clear (at least to me). $\endgroup$

What you want to look for is called anaphora resolution. You basically keep a record of the past conversation and try and find an antecedent for any occurrences of it, he/she, her/his, etc. You probably want to have a pre-processing step where you substitute the antecedent before passing the input sentence on to the agent.
