| Challenge: | Social norms govern culturally appropriate behavior in communication, enabling dialogue systems to produce coherent and socially acceptable outputs. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for generating and annotating socially grounded dialogues in Chinese, English, and Korean. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms existing frameworks in refinement quality, dialogue naturalness, and generalization performance. |

| Challenge: | Norm violations occur when individuals fail to conform to culturally accepted behaviors, which may lead to potential conflicts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a large corpus of 9,258 multi-turn dialogues annotated with social norms to equip AI systems with a remediation ability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can understand and remediate norm violations step by step. |
GrounDial: Human-norm Grounded Safe Dialog Response Generation (2024.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent conversational AI systems generate unsafe responses agreeing to offensive user input or including toxic content. |
| Approach: | They propose a method where response safety is achieved by grounding responses to commonsense social rules without fine-tuning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach is quantitatively and qualitatively safer even without additional data or tuning. |
NORMSAGE: Multi-Lingual Multi-Cultural Norm Discovery from Conversations On-the-Fly (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to understand acceptable behavior have focused on a single culture and manually built datasets from non-conversational settings. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework to automatically extract culture-specific norms from multi-lingual conversations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework extracts culture-specific norms from multi-lingual conversations. |
LLM-Human Pipeline for Cultural Grounding of Conversations (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | addressing parents by name is commonplace in the West, but it is rare in most Asian cultures. |
| Approach: | They propose a Cultural Context Schema for conversations that incorporates conversational information and cultural information such as social norms, violations, etc. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model significantly improves the empirical performance of a Chinese conversational norm and violation description using an interactive human-in-loop framework. |
Non-Emotion-Centric Empathetic Dialogue Generation (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Empathy is a social psychology theory that enables individuals to comprehend each other's experiences and emotions, thereby fostering more intimate interpersonal relationships. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for empathetic dialogue generation based on contrastive learning and context-sensitive entity and social commonsense that punishes responses with incorrect emotions and improves the quality of emotions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves the quality of empathetic generation and generates more diverse responses in comparison with the state-of-the-art baselines. |
NormMark: A Weakly Supervised Markov Model for Socio-cultural Norm Discovery (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for norm recognition focus only on surface-level features of dialogues and do not take into account the interactions within a conversation. |
| Approach: | They propose a probabilistic generative Markov model to carry latent features throughout a dialogue and trainable on weakly annotated data using the variational technique. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on a weakly annotated dataset, outperforming existing methods, including GPT3. |

| Challenge: | Existing efforts to identify unacceptable behavior have focused on toxicity as the sole form of community norm violation. |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset that focuses on a more complete spectrum of community norms and their violations in local conversational and global contexts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the detection of community norm violations in local conversational and global contexts. |

| Challenge: | blending multiple languages within a single conversation presents a formidable challenge, given the wide-ranging variations influenced by individual speaking styles and cultural backgrounds. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel approach to harness the Big Five personality traits acquired in an unsupervised manner from code-mixed conversations to bolster the performance of response generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach enhances contextual relevance and performance of the proposed model by combining personality traits with dialogue context. |

| Challenge: | Dialogue models are able to generate fluent and interesting responses, but they can be difficult to control and may produce non-engaging, unsafe results. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for controlling dialogue model behavior using natural language rules, or guidelines, which provide information about the context they are applicable to and what should be included in the response. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is effective in three open-domain dialogue response generation tasks and is consistent with the developer's expectations and intent. |
