• Abstract: Collaboration is an integral part of human dialogue. Typical task-oriented dialogue games assign asymmetric roles to the participants, which limits their ability to elicit naturalistic role-taking in collaboration and its negotiation. We present a novel and simple online setup that favors balanced collaboration: a two-player 2D object placement game in which the players must negotiate the goal state themselves. We show empirically that human players exhibit a variety of role distributions, and that balanced collaboration improves task performance. We also present an LLM-based baseline agent which demonstrates that automatic playing of our game is an interesting challenge for artificial systems.

  This paper presents a novel approach to enhance AI game masters by leveraging function calling in the context of the table-top role-playing game "Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Adventure Game" Our methodology involves integrating game-specific controls through functions, which we show improves the narrative quality and state update consistency of the AI game master.

  We propose a challenging interactive reference game that requires two players to coordinate on vision and language observations. We show that a standard Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) setup achieves a high success rate when bootstrapped with partner behaviors. We find that a pairing of neural partners indeed reduces the measured joint effort when playing together repeatedly.

  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 explore the game of Avalon: The Resistance, a social deduction game in which players must determine each other's hidden identities to complete their team's objective. We introduce an online testbed and a dataset containing 20 carefully collected and labeled games that exhibit long-horizon deception in a cooperative-competitive setting. We discuss the capabilities of LLMs to utilize deceptive long-horizon conversations between six human players to determine each player's goal and motivation.

  Social deduction games offer an avenue to study how individuals might learn to synthesize potentially unreliable information about others. In this work, we present Hidden Agenda, a two-team social deduction game that provides a 2D environment for studying learning agents in scenarios of unknown team alignment. Reinforcement learning agents trained in Hidden Agenda show that agents can learn a variety of behaviors, including partnering and voting without need for communication in natural language.

  We seek to create agents that both act and communicate with other agents in pursuit of a goal. We introduce a reinforcement learning system that incorporates large-scale language modeling-based and commonsense reasoning-based pre-training. We conduct zero-shot evaluations using held-out human expert demonstrations, showing that our agents are able to act consistently and talk naturally with respect to their motivations.
