• Abstract summary: This work introduces an intervention conversation dataset collected from a real-world physical activity intervention program for women. We designed comprehensive annotation schemes in four dimensions (domain, strategy, social exchange, and task-focused exchange) and annotated a subset of dialogs. To understand how human intervention induces effective behavior changes, we analyzed the relationships between the intervention strategies and the participants' changes in the barrier and social support for physical activity.

• Abstract: Artificial intelligence chatbots are the vanguard in technology-based intervention to change people's behavior. To develop intervention chatbots, the first step is to understand natural language conversation strategies in human conversation. This work introduces an intervention conversation dataset collected from a real-world physical activity intervention program for women. We designed comprehensive annotation schemes in four dimensions (domain, strategy, social exchange, and task-focused exchange) and annotated a subset of dialogs. We built a strategy classifier with context information to detect strategies from both trainers and participants based on the annotation. To understand how human intervention induces effective behavior changes, we analyzed the relationships between the intervention strategies and the participants' changes in the barrier and social support for physical activity. We also analyzed how participant's baseline weight correlates to the amount of occurrence of the corresponding strategy. This work lays the foundation for developing a personalized physical activity intervention bot. The dataset and code are available at https://github.com/KaihuiLiang/physical-activity-counseling

  Habit Coach is designed to support users in habit change through personalized interaction. We developed the system using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, which enables behavior personalization without retraining the underlying language model. A key challenge in the development process was the difficulty of translating declarative knowledge into effective interaction behaviors.

• Interactive Dialogue Agents via Reinforcement Learning on Hindsight Regenerations [58.65755268815283]
  Many real dialogues are interactive, meaning an agent's utterances will influence their conversational partner, elicit information, or change their opinion. We use this fact to rewrite and augment existing suboptimal data, and train via offline reinforcement learning (RL) an agent that outperforms both prompting and learning from unaltered human demonstrations. Our results in a user study with real humans show that our approach greatly outperforms existing state-of-the-art dialogue agents.

  We focus on predicting engagement in dyadic interactions by scrutinizing verbal and non-verbal cues, aiming to detect signs of disinterest or confusion. In this work, we collect a dataset featuring 34 participants engaged in casual dyadic conversations, each providing self-reported engagement ratings at the end of each conversation. We introduce a novel fusion strategy using Large Language Models (LLMs) to integrate multiple behavior modalities into a multimodal transcript''

  We propose a novel cooperative communication framework, Goal-Oriented Mental Alignment (GOMA) GOMA formulates verbal communication as a planning problem that minimizes the misalignment between parts of agents' mental states that are relevant to the goals. We evaluate our approach against strong baselines in two challenging environments, Overcooked (a multiplayer game) and VirtualHome (a household simulator)

  We propose an alternative to text chats for Human-AI interaction, using facial expressions and head movements that mirror, but also improvise over the human user. Our goal is to track and analyze facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues in real-time, and use this information to build models that can predict and understand human behavior.

  In psychotherapy interactions, the quality of a session is assessed by codifying the communicative behaviors of participants during the conversation. In this paper, we leverage a publicly available conversation-based dataset and transfer knowledge to the low-resource behavioral coding task. We introduce a task augmentation method to produce a large number of "analogy tasks" - tasks similar to the target one - and demonstrate that the proposed framework predicts target behaviors more accurately than all the other baseline models.
