• Title: Assistive Large Language Model Agents for Socially-Aware Negotiation Dialogues
• Authors: Yuncheng Hua, Lizhen Qu, Gholamreza Haffari,
• Abstract summary: We develop assistive agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs) that aid interlocutors in business negotiations. A third LLM acts as a remediator agent to rewrite utterances violating norms for improving negotiation outcomes. We provide rich empirical evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness in negotiations across three different negotiation topics.

• Abstract: We develop assistive agents based on Large Language Models (LLMs) that aid interlocutors in business negotiations. Specifically, we simulate business negotiations by letting two LLM-based agents engage in role play. A third LLM acts as a remediator agent to rewrite utterances violating norms for improving negotiation outcomes. We introduce a simple tuning-free and label-free In-Context Learning (ICL) method to identify high-quality ICL exemplars for the remediator, where we propose a novel select criteria, called value impact, to measure the quality of the negotiation outcomes. We provide rich empirical evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness in negotiations across three different negotiation topics. We have released our source code and the generated dataset at: https://github.com/tk1363704/SADAS.

  This paper describes the Bargaining task as an asymmetric incomplete information game. It allows us to quantitatively assess an agent's performance in the Bargain task. We propose a novel approach called OG-Narrator that integrates a deterministic Offer Generator to control the price range of Buyer's offers.

  We introduce coalition negotiations as a novel NLP task, and model it as a negotiation between large language model-based agents. We introduce a multilingual dataset, POLCA, comprising manifestos of European political parties and coalition agreements over a number of elections in these countries. We propose a hierarchical Markov decision process designed to simulate the process of coalition negotiation between political parties and predict the outcomes.

  Negotiation is the basis of social interactions; humans negotiate everything from the price of cars to how to share common resources. With rapidly growing interest in using large language models (LLMs) to act as agents on behalf of human users, such LLM agents would also need to be able to negotiate. We develop NegotiationArena: a flexible framework for evaluating and probing the negotiation abilities of LLM agents.

  We propose a novel negotiation dialogue agent designed for the online marketplace. We employ a set of novel rewards, specifically tailored for the negotiation task to train our Negotiation Agent. Our results demonstrate that the proposed approach and reward system significantly enhance the agent's negotiation capabilities.

  A negotiation process by 2 agents e1 and e2 can be interleaved by another negotiation process between, say, e1 and e3. Existing proposals for argumentation-based negotiations have focused primarily on two-agent bilateral negotiations. We show that the extended theory adapts well to concurrent multi-agent negotiations over scarce resources.
