A curated list of incredible amount of publications related to Dialogue Systems especially Chatbots and Chit-chat Systems inspired by awesome-machine-learning.
If you want to contribute to this list (please do), send me a pull request or contact me @jaromirsalamon. The preference is about open papers (publically available) with the link to the paper. It doesn't need to be only research papers, but also presentations with various topics or lectures.
