PRINCIPLES: Synthetic Strategy Memory for Proactive Dialogue Agents

EMNLP 2025

Dialogue agents based on large language models (LLMs) have shown promising performance in proactive dialogue, which requires effective strategy planning. However, existing approaches to strategy planning for proactive dialogue face several limitations: limited strategy coverage, preference bias in p

Towards Lifelong Dialogue Agents via Timeline-based Memory Management

NAACL 2025long

To achieve lifelong human-agent interaction, dialogue agents need to constantly memorize perceived information and properly retrieve it for response generation (RG). While prior studies focus on getting rid of outdated memories to improve retrieval quality, we argue that such memories provide rich,…

Web Agents with World Models: Learning and Leveraging Environment Dynamics in Web Navigation

ICLR 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) have recently gained much attention in building autonomous agents. However, performance of current LLM-based web agents in long-horizon tasks is far from optimal, often yielding errors such as repeatedly buying a non-refundable flight ticket. By contrast, humans can avoi…

Coffee-Gym: An Environment for Evaluating and Improving Natural Language Feedback on Erroneous Code

EMNLP 2024main

This paper presents Coffee-Gym, a comprehensive RL environment for training models that provide feedback on code editing. Coffee-Gym includes two major components: (1) Coffee, a dataset containing humans’ code edit traces for coding questions and human-written feedback for editing erroneous code; (2…

Language Models as Compilers: Simulating Pseudocode Execution Improves Algorithmic Reasoning in Language Models

EMNLP 2024main

Algorithmic reasoning tasks that involve complex logical patterns, such as completing Dyck language, pose challenges for large language models (LLMs), despite their recent success. Prior work has used LLMs to generate programming language and applied external compilers for such tasks. Yet, when on t…

Large Language Models Are Clinical Reasoners: Reasoning-Aware Diagnosis Framework with Prompt-Generated Rationales

AAAI 2024technical

Machine reasoning has made great progress in recent years owing to large language models (LLMs). In the clinical domain, however, most NLP-driven projects mainly focus on clinical classification or reading comprehension, and under-explore clinical reasoning for disease diagnosis due to the expensive…

Dialogue Chain-of-Thought Distillation for Commonsense-aware Conversational Agents

EMNLP 2023long main

Human-like chatbots necessitate the use of commonsense reasoning in order to effectively comprehend and respond to implicit information present within conversations. Achieving such coherence and informativeness in responses, however, is a non-trivial task. Even for large language models (LLMs), the…
