Personality-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Persuasive Dialogue with LLM-Driven Simulation
Donghuo Zeng, Roberto Legaspi, Kazushi Ikeda
Effective persuasive dialogue agents adapt their strategies to individual users, accounting for the evolution of their psychological states and intentions throughout conversations.…
Generative Framework for Personalized Persuasion: Inferring Causal, Counterfactual, and Latent Knowledge
Donghuo Zeng, Roberto Legaspi, Yuewen Sun +4
We hypothesize that optimal system responses emerge from adaptive strategies grounded in causal and counterfactual knowledge. Counterfactual inference allows us to create hypotheti…
Causal Discovery and Counterfactual Reasoning to Optimize Persuasive Dialogue Policies
Donghuo Zeng, Roberto Legaspi, Yuewen Sun +4
Tailoring persuasive conversations to users leads to more effective persuasion. However, existing dialogue systems often struggle to adapt to dynamically evolving user states. This…
On the Parameter Identifiability of Partially Observed Linear Causal Models
Xinshuai Dong, Ignavier Ng, Biwei Huang +5
Linear causal models are important tools for modeling causal dependencies and yet in practice, only a subset of the variables can be observed. In this paper, we examine the paramet…
