• Abstract: User willingness is a crucial element in the sales talk process that affects the achievement of the salesperson's or sales system's objectives. Despite the importance of user willingness, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has addressed the development of automated sales talk dialogue systems that explicitly consider user willingness. A major barrier is the lack of sales talk datasets with reliable user willingness data. Thus, in this study, we developed a user willingness-aware sales talk collection by leveraging the ecological validity concept, which is discussed in the field of human-computer interaction. Our approach focused on three types of user willingness essential in real sales interactions. We created a dialogue environment that closely resembles real-world scenarios to elicit natural user willingness, with participants evaluating their willingness at the utterance level from multiple perspectives. We analyzed the collected data to gain insights into practical user willingness-aware sales talk strategies. In addition, as a practical application of the constructed dataset, we developed and evaluated a sales dialogue system aimed at enhancing the user's intent to purchase.

  SalesBot simulates dialogues transitioning from chit-chat to task-oriented scenarios to train sales agents. Initial data lacked smooth transitions and coherent long-turn dialogues, resulting in poor naturalness in sales-customer interactions. We introduce a novel model called SalesAgent, trained on salesperson's interactions, using chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning.

  Existing conversational recommender systems often overlook users' lack of background knowledge, focusing solely on gathering preferences. We introduce SalesOps, a framework that facilitates the simulation and evaluation of such systems. We build SalesBot and ShopperBot, a pair of LLM-powered agents that can simulate either side of the framework.

• User Satisfaction Estimation with Sequential Dialogue Act Modeling in Goal-oriented Conversational Systems [65.88679683468143]
  We propose a novel framework, namely USDA, to incorporate the sequential dynamics of dialogue acts for predicting user satisfaction. USDA incorporates the sequential transitions of both content and act features in the dialogue to predict the user satisfaction. Experimental results on four benchmark goal-oriented dialogue datasets show that the proposed method substantially and consistently outperforms existing methods on USE.
