- Title: Open-Mindedness and Style Coordination in Argumentative Discussions
- Authors: Aviv Ben Haim, Oren Tsur
- Abstract summary: Linguistic accommodation is the process in which speakers adjust their accent, diction, vocabulary, and other aspects of language according to the communication style of one another.
Previous research has shown how linguistic accommodation correlates with gaps in the power and status of the speakers and the way it promotes approval and discussion efficiency.
This work explores its correlation with the open-mindedness of a speaker, rather than to her social status.

- Abstract: Linguistic accommodation is the process in which speakers adjust their
accent, diction, vocabulary, and other aspects of language according to the
communication style of one another. Previous research has shown how linguistic
accommodation correlates with gaps in the power and status of the speakers and
the way it promotes approval and discussion efficiency. In this work, we
provide a novel perspective on the phenomena, exploring its correlation with
the open-mindedness of a speaker, rather than to her social status. We process
thousands of unstructured argumentative discussions that took place in Reddit's
Change My View (CMV) subreddit, demonstrating that open-mindedness relates to
the assumed role of a speaker in different contexts. On the discussion level,
we surprisingly find that discussions that reach agreement present lower levels
of accommodation.

People in conversation entrain their linguistic behaviours through spontaneous alignment mechanisms.
In CMC, one of the mechanisms through which linguistic entrainment happens is through explicit replies.
We explore coordination mechanisms concerned with some of the roles utterances play in dialogues - specifically in explicit replies.

MindDial is a novel conversational framework that can generate situated free-form responses with theory-of-mind modeling.
We introduce an explicit mind module that can track the speaker's belief and the speaker's prediction of the listener's belief.
Our framework is applied to both prompting and fine-tuning-based models, and is evaluated across scenarios involving both common ground alignment and negotiation.

We propose a spoken style learning approach with multi-modal hierarchical context encoding.
