Do LLMs Know What to Ask and When? Evaluating Multi-Turn Information Seeking

Yepeng Huang, Jiawen Zhang, Michelle Dai +4

When a user question is underspecified, a capable model should recognize that its context is insufficient, identify the missing information, ask for it, and respond only once that…
