• Abstract: Domain specific chatbot applications often involve multi step interactions, such as refining search filters, selecting multiple items, or performing comparisons. Traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) handle these workflows by providing explicit "Submit" (commit data) and "Reset" (discard data) actions, allowing back-end systems to track user intent unambiguously. In contrast, conversational agents rely on subtle language cues, which can lead to confusion and incomplete context management. This paper proposes modeling these GUI inspired metaphors acknowledgment (submit like) and context switching (reset-like) as explicit tasks within large language model (LLM) prompts. By capturing user acknowledgment, reset actions, and chain of thought (CoT) reasoning as structured session data, we preserve clarity, reduce user confusion, and align domain-specific chatbot interactions with back-end logic. We demonstrate our approach in hotel booking and customer management scenarios, highlighting improvements in multi-turn task coherence, user satisfaction, and efficiency.

  KGQA systems typically assume user queries are unambiguous, which is an assumption that rarely holds in real-world applications.<n>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.

  We release the Multi-User MultiWOZ dataset: task-oriented dialogues among two users and one agent. These dialogues reflect interesting dynamics of collaborative decision-making in task-oriented scenarios. We propose a novel task of multi-user contextual query rewriting: to rewrite a task-oriented chat between two users as a concise task-oriented query.

• Leveraging Explicit Procedural Instructions for Data-Efficient Action Prediction [5.448684866061922]
  Task-oriented dialogues often require agents to enact complex, multi-step procedures in order to meet user requests. Large language models have found success automating these dialogues in constrained environments, but their widespread deployment is limited by the substantial quantities of task-specific data required for training. This paper presents a data-efficient solution to constructing dialogue systems, leveraging explicit instructions derived from agent guidelines.

  How to build and use dialogue data efficiently, and how to deploy models in different domains at scale can be critical issues in building a task-oriented dialogue system. We propose a novel manual-guided dialogue scheme, where the agent learns the tasks from both dialogue and manuals. Our proposed scheme reduces the dependence of dialogue models on fine-grained domain ontology, and makes them more flexible to adapt to various domains.
