Frame of Reference: Addressing the Challenges of Common Ground Representation in Situational Dialogs (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prior studies have demonstrated that Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of performing grounding acts such as requesting clarification or producing acknowledgments, yet relatively little work has investigated how common ground can be explicitly represented and stored for later use. |
| Approach: | They propose to use relational references to represent common ground in situated dialogues and propose to improve both the establishment of common ground and its subsequent use in the conversation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can establish and exploit common ground in situated dialogues and improve its subsequent use. |
