Using stickers in online chatting is very prevalent on social media platforms, where the stickers used in the conversation can express someone's intention/emotion/attitude in a vivid, tactful, and intuitive way. Existing sticker retrieval research typically retrieves stickers based on context and the current utterance delivered by the user. That is, the stickers serve as a supplement to the current utterance. However, in the real-world scenario, using stickers to express what we want to say rather than as a supplement to our words only is also important. Therefore, in this paper, we create a new dataset for sticker retrieval in conversation, called \textbf{StickerInt}, where stickers are used to reply to previous conversations or supplement our words. Based on the created dataset, we present a simple yet effective framework for sticker retrieval in conversation based on the learning of intention and the cross-modal relationships between conversation context and stickers, coined as \textbf{Int-RA}. Specifically, we first devise a knowledge-enhanced intention predictor to introduce the intention information into the conversation representations. Subsequently, a relation-aware sticker selector is devised to retrieve the response sticker via cross-modal relationships. Extensive experiments on two datasets show that the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance and generalization capability in sticker retrieval. The dataset and source code of this work are released at https://github.com/HITSZ-HLT/Int-RA.
