| Challenge: | Existing models for persuasive dialogue lack emotion annotated data, so we use transformers to provide emotion based feedbacks to our RL agent. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a language model to generate empathetic persuasive dialogues . they annotate existing data with emotions and build transformers to provide feedbacks based on emotion. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model increases the rate of generating persuasive responses compared to state-of-the-art models while maintaining the language quality. |

Beyond Persuasion: Towards Conversational Recommender System with Credible Explanations (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing CRSs can be highly persuasive, but they can be deceptive and can damage the long-term trust between users and the CRS. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to enhance the credibility of CRS’s explanations by using a set of credibility-aware persuasive strategies and a post-hoc self-reflection process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method enhances the credibility of CRS’s explanations and refines them via post-hoc self-reflection. |
