Diagram showing GODEL’s architecture. The environment of the dialog system consists of both structured and unstructured content, which it uses to retrieve information. This source content, which we term “grounding,” is updated and repeatedly used by GODEL to produce a new response after each user input.

GODEL: Combining goal-oriented dialog with real-world conversations

On the left, a diagram with three layers, each of which contains a half-transparent image processed from the same image. The processed images are partitioned into several grids, and each grid contains 4 x 4 image patches. From bottom to top, the number of grids in each layer are 4 x 4, 2 x 2, and 1 x 1, respectively. The layers are labeled “4x,” “8x,” and “16x,” respectively, from bottom to top. An arrow joining the three layers points upward to the words “Segmentation” and “Detection” and an ellipsis. Another arrow points from the top layer to the word “classification.” On the right, a bar chart with a blue bar labeled “Swin V1” and an orange bar labeled “Swin V2.” The orange bar is much taller and labeled “3 billion (1,536 x 1,536 resolution)”; the blue bar is labeled “197 million.” An arrow labeled “15x” points upward from the blue bar, indicating the orange bar is 15 times higher than the blue one.

Swin Transformer supports 3-billion-parameter vision models that can train with higher-resolution images for greater task applicability

A lightbulb-shaped image, set against a background that represents computer circuitry, is divided into seven sections, with a small research-related icon in each section. Moving clockwise from upper right to upper left, the seven icons are a set of scales, a padlock, a badge, two hands clasped in a handshake, a human brain, a group of three people, and a human eye.
