• Authors: Cristian-Paul Bara, Sky CH-Wang, Joyce Chai
• Abstract summary: Theory of mind plays an important role in maintaining common ground during human collaboration and communication. We introduce a fine-grained dataset of collaborative tasks performed by pairs of human subjects in the 3D virtual blocks world of Minecraft. It provides information that captures partners' beliefs of the world and of each other as an interaction unfolds.

• Abstract: An ideal integration of autonomous agents in a human world implies that they are able to collaborate on human terms. In particular, theory of mind plays an important role in maintaining common ground during human collaboration and communication. To enable theory of mind modeling in situated interactions, we introduce a fine-grained dataset of collaborative tasks performed by pairs of human subjects in the 3D virtual blocks world of Minecraft. It provides information that captures partners' beliefs of the world and of each other as an interaction unfolds, bringing abundant opportunities to study human collaborative behaviors in situated language communication. As a first step towards our goal of developing embodied AI agents able to infer belief states of collaborative partners in situ, we build and present results on computational models for several theory of mind tasks.

  Theory of Mind (ToM) significantly impacts human collaboration and communication as a crucial capability to understand others. Mutual Theory of Mind (MToM) arises when AI agents with ToM capability collaborate with humans. We find that the agent's ToM capability does not significantly impact team performance but enhances human understanding of the agent.

  We design a blocks-world environment where two agents, each having unique goals and skills, build a target structure together. To complete the goals, they can act in the world and communicate in natural language. We adopt chain-of-thought prompts that include intermediate reasoning steps to model the partner's state and identify and correct execution errors.

  We address challenging multi-agent cooperation problems with decentralized control, raw sensory observations, costly communication, and multi-objective tasks instantiated in various embodied environments. We harness the commonsense knowledge, reasoning ability, language comprehension, and text generation prowess of LLMs and seamlessly incorporate them into a cognitive-inspired modular framework. Our experiments on C-WAH and TDW-MAT demonstrate that CoELA driven by GPT-4 can surpass strong planning-based methods and exhibit emergent effective communication.

  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.

  Collaborative tasks often begin with partial task knowledge and incomplete initial plans from each partner. This paper takes a step towards collaborative plan acquisition, where humans and agents strive to learn and communicate with each other. We formulate a novel problem for agents to predict the missing task knowledge for themselves and for their partners based on rich perceptual and dialogue history.

Results show that the generated explanations of our approach significantly improves the collaboration performance and user perception of the robot.
