Existing personalized dialogue models use human designed persona descriptions to improve dialogue consistency. Collecting such descriptions from existing dialogues is expensive and requires hand-crafted feature designs. In this paper, we…
We explore the task of improving persona consistency of dialogue agents. Recent models tackling consistency often train with additional Natural Language Inference (NLI) labels or attach trained extra modules to the generative agent for…
Personalization in social robotics is critical for fostering effective human-robot interactions, yet systems often face the cold start problem, where initial user preferences or characteristics are unavailable. This paper proposes a novel…
Multi-agent debate (MAD) aims to improve large language model (LLM) reasoning by letting multiple agents exchange answers and then aggregate their opinions. Yet recent studies reveal that agents are not neutral: they are prone to…
Personalized response selection systems are generally grounded on persona. However, there exists a co-relation between persona and empathy, which is not explored well in these systems. Also, faithfulness to the conversation context plunges…
Deploying multi-robot systems in environments shared with dynamic and uncontrollable agents presents significant challenges, especially for large robot fleets. In such environments, individual robot operations can be delayed due to…
Data privacy and protection is a crucial issue for any automatic speech recognition (ASR) service provider when dealing with clients. In this paper, we investigate federated acoustic modeling using data from multiple clients. A client's…
Many real-world eligibility problems, ranging from medical diagnosis to tax planning, can be mapped to decision problems expressed in natural language, wherein a model must make a binary choice based on user features. Large-scale domains…
Empowering large language models with long-term memory is crucial for building agents that adapt to users' evolving needs. Existing evaluations of this capability typically interleave preference-related dialogues with irrelevant…
Dialogue systems in the form of chatbots and personal assistants are being increasingly integrated into people's lives. Modern dialogue systems may consider adopting anthropomorphic personas, mimicking societal demographic groups to appear…
Current conversational AI systems often provide generic, one-size-fits-all interactions that overlook individual user characteristics and lack adaptive dialogue management. To address this gap, we introduce \textbf{HumAIne-chatbot}, an…
This work addresses the challenge of personalized question answering in long-term human-machine interactions: when conversational history spans weeks or months and exceeds the context window, existing personalization mechanisms struggle to…
In order to enhance levels of engagement with conversational systems, our long term research goal seeks to monitor the confusion state of a user and adapt dialogue policies in response to such user confusion states. To this end, in this…
User Satisfaction Estimation is an important task and increasingly being applied in goal-oriented dialogue systems to estimate whether the user is satisfied with the service. It is observed that whether the user's needs are met often…
An Intelligent Personal Agent (IPA) is an agent that has the purpose of helping the user to gain information through reliable resources with the help of knowledge navigation techniques and saving time to search the best content. The agent…
Conversational agents built on large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly prevalent, yet most systems are designed for one-on-one, turn-based exchanges rather than natural, asynchronous group chats. As AI assistants become…
In this paper we define and investigate the problem of \emph{persona authentication}: learning a conversational policy to verify the consistency of persona models. We propose a learning objective and prove (under some mild assumptions) that…
Characteristic linguistic behaviors associated with Social Language Disorder (SLD) in autism spectrum disorder, including echoic repetition, pronoun displacement, and stereotyped media quoting, are largely absent from spontaneous…
Full-duplex speech interaction, as the most natural and intuitive mode of human communication, is driving artificial intelligence toward more human-like conversational systems. Traditional cascaded speech processing pipelines suffer from…
Personalized dialogue requires more than recalling explicit user histories: systems also need to infer hidden user states that evolve through interaction and shape appropriate response strategies. Existing memory- and profile-based methods…
