AI Chatbots as Professional Service Agents: Developing a Professional Identity (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies often overlook the act of communicating consistent with professional identities of LLM-based AI chatbots. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for designing professional service agents for medical question-and-answer services that aligns professional identities with a theory-guided task planning process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms baseline methods on various LLMs across key metrics such as fluency, naturalness, empathy, patient-centricity, and ROUGE-L scores. |

| Challenge: | Empowering autonomous driving agents with the ability to navigate in a continuous and dynamic environment is critical. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel interactive simulation platform that enables the creation of unexpected situations on the fly to support empirical studies on situated communication with autonomous driving agents. |
| Outcome: | The proposed platform enables the creation of unexpected situations on the fly to support empirical studies on situated communication with autonomous driving agents. |
