• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable progress in understanding and generating natural language across various applications. However, they often struggle with resolving ambiguities in real-world, enterprise-level interactions, where context and domain-specific knowledge play a crucial role. In this demonstration, we introduce ECLAIR (Enhanced CLArification for Interactive Responses), a multi-agent framework for interactive disambiguation. ECLAIR enhances ambiguous user query clarification through an interactive process where custom agents are defined, ambiguity reasoning is conducted by the agents, clarification questions are generated, and user feedback is leveraged to refine the final response. When tested on real-world customer data, ECLAIR demonstrates significant improvements in clarification question generation compared to standard few-shot methods.

• CLEAR-KGQA: Clarification-Enhanced Ambiguity Resolution for Knowledge Graph Question Answering [13.624962763072899]
  KGQA systems typically assume user queries are unambiguous, which is an assumption that rarely holds in real-world applications. We propose a novel framework that dynamically handles both entity ambiguity (e.g., distinguishing between entities with similar names) and intent ambiguity (e.g., clarifying different interpretations of user queries) through interactive clarification.

  Large language model (LLM)-based agents have been increasingly used to interact with external environments. Current frameworks do not enable these agents to work with users and interact with them to align on the details of their tasks. This work introduces ReSpAct, a novel framework that combines the essential skills for building task-oriented "conversational" agents.

• 'What are you referring to?' Evaluating the Ability of Multi-Modal Dialogue Models to Process Clarificational Exchanges [65.03196674816772]
  Referential ambiguities arise in dialogue when a referring expression does not uniquely identify the intended referent for the addressee. Addressees usually detect such ambiguities immediately and work with the speaker to repair it using meta-communicative, Clarification Exchanges (CE): a Clarification Request (CR) and a response. Here, we argue that the ability to generate and respond to CRs imposes specific constraints on the architecture and objective functions of multi-modal, visually grounded dialogue models.
