Mengqi Chen, Bin Guo, Hao Wang, Jingqi Liu, Yan Liu, Yunji Liang, Peilin Li, Yan Pan, Zhiwen Yu

• We present PersuHSG, which conceptualizes persuasion as a tripartite framework comprising cognition, affection, and volition, with each stage represented as a graph layer and principle-based strategies for efficient multi-stage persuasion.

Neuro-Sym Supporter: A Thoughtful Emotion Support Agent Integrating Neural and Symbolic Policy Learning \

Minghui Ma, Bin Guo, Mengqi Chen, Jingqi Liu, Yasan Ding, Yan Liu, Han Wang

• We propose Sym-Mind, a differentiable logic-based reasoning framework for emotional support strategy selection, which unifies interpretability with stable performance to improve an agent’s ability to proactively explore solutions through reasoning.

Mengqi Chen, Bin Guo, Hao Wang, Jingqi Liu, Kaixing Zhao, Yunji Liang, Zhiwen Yu

• Making AI dialogue systems more persuasive can improve topic control and logic in conversations, enhancing human-computer interaction. We propose “Collective Intelligence Persuasion Dialogue,” in which multiple specialized AI agents collaborate.

The Future of Cognitive Strategy-enhanced Persuasive Dialogue Agents: New Perspectives and Trends

Mengqi Chen, Bin Guo, Hao Wang, Haoyu Li, Qian Zhao, Jingqi Liu, Zhiwen Yu

• Persuasion has garnered extensive attention from researchers within the field of intelligent dialogue systems. The cognitive strategy-enhanced persuasive dialogue agent (defined as CogAgent), which incorporates cognitive strategies to achieve persuasive targets through conversation, has become a predominant research paradigm.

Cascade Context-oriented Spatio-temporal Attention Network for Efficient and Fine-grained Video-grounded Dialogue
Hao Wang, Bin Guo, Mengqi Chen, Yasan Ding, Ying Zhang, Zhiwen Yu

• Video-Grounded Dialogue System (VGDS), focusing on generating reasonable responses based on multi-turn dialogue contexts and a given video, has received intensive attention recently. We propose a novel system, namely Cascade cOntext-oriented Spatial-Temporal Attention Network (COSTA), to generate reasonable responses efficiently and accurately.

Memory-enhanced Emotional Support Conversations with Motivation-driven Strategy Inference

• The prevalence of mental disorders is increasing globally, highlighting the need for effective emotional support systems. Emotional Support Conversation (ESC) systems have emerged as a promising solution, providing supportive responses to individuals experiencing emotional distress. we propose MAGIC, a Memory-enhanced emotional support conversation system with motivation-driven strAteGy InferenCe.
