Current Agents Fail to Leverage World Model as Tool for Foresight
Cheng Qian, Emre Can Acikgoz, Bingxuan Li +8
Agents built on vision-language models increasingly face tasks that demand anticipating future states rather than relying on short-horizon reasoning. Generative world models offer…
SpeakRL: Synergizing Reasoning, Speaking, and Acting in Language Models with Reinforcement Learning
Emre Can Acikgoz, Jinoh Oh, Jie Hao +7
Effective human-agent collaboration is increasingly prevalent in real-world applications. Current trends in such collaborations are predominantly unidirectional, with users providi…
MAC: A Multi-Agent Framework for Interactive User Clarification in Multi-turn Conversations
Emre Can Acikgoz, Jinoh Oh, Joo Hyuk Jeon +7
Conversational agents often encounter ambiguous user requests, requiring an effective clarification to successfully complete tasks. While recent advancements in real-world applicat…
Plan Verification for LLM-Based Embodied Task Completion Agents
Ananth Hariharan, Vardhan Dongre, Dilek Hakkani-Tür +1
Large language model (LLM) based task plans and corresponding human demonstrations for embodied AI may be noisy, with unnecessary actions, redundant navigation, and logical errors…
A Desideratum for Conversational Agents: Capabilities, Challenges, and Future Directions
Emre Can Acikgoz, Cheng Qian, Hongru Wang +5
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have propelled conversational AI from traditional dialogue systems into sophisticated agents capable of autonomous actions, contextu…
Can a Single Model Master Both Multi-turn Conversations and Tool Use? CoALM: A Unified Conversational Agentic Language Model
Emre Can Acikgoz, Jeremiah Greer, Akul Datta +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) with API-calling capabilities enabled building effective Language Agents (LA), while also revolutionizing the conventional task-oriented dialogue (TOD)…
SMART: Self-Aware Agent for Tool Overuse Mitigation
Cheng Qian, Emre Can Acikgoz, Hongru Wang +5
Current Large Language Model (LLM) agents demonstrate strong reasoning and tool use capabilities, but often lack self-awareness, failing to balance these approaches effectively. Th…
