• Abstract: We present a multi-expert system for creating Non-Player Characters (NPCs) capable of both natural dialogue and contextual action execution in interactive environments. Using Qwen3 as the base model and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapters, we instantiate three specialists: tool calling, tool-response interpretation, and direct dialogue. Our system comfortably meets the computational efficiency requirements, delivering fast responses and maintaining modest resource usage on L40S GPUs. In the Commonsense Persona-Grounded Dialogue Challenge 2025, our method ranked second overall. Code available at: https://github.com/MahammadNuriyev62/CPDC-challenge-2025-solution/

  In this paper, we report our participation in the Commonsense Persona-Grounded Dialogue Challenge (CPDC) 2025 Round 2.<n>Our approach combines two complementary strategies: (i) lightweight prompting techniques in the API track, including a Deflanderization prompting method to suppress excessive role-play and improve task fidelity, and (ii) fine-tuned large models in the GPU track, leveraging Qwen3-14B with supervisedfinetuning (SFT) and Low-Rank Adaptation(LoRA)

  This report investigates approaches for prompting a tool-augmented large language model (LLM) to act as a role-playing dialogue agent in the API track of the Commonsense Persona-grounded Dialogue Challenge (CPDC) 2025.<n>We explore four prompting approaches to address these issues: 1) basic role prompting, 2) improved role prompting, 3) automatic prompt optimization (APO), and 4) rule-based role prompting.<n>The rule-based role prompting (RRP) approach achieved the best performance through two novel techniques-character-card/scene-contract design and strict enforcement of function calling.

  Many real dialogues are interactive, meaning an agent's utterances will influence their conversational partner, elicit information, or change their opinion. We use this fact to rewrite and augment existing suboptimal data, and train via offline reinforcement learning (RL) an agent that outperforms both prompting and learning from unaltered human demonstrations. Our results in a user study with real humans show that our approach greatly outperforms existing state-of-the-art dialogue agents.

  We develop two agents that "talk" to each other, one acting as the conversational agent, and the other acting as the user. Using a set of text descriptions of linear problems from NL4Opt available to the user only, the agent and the user engage in conversation until the agent has retrieved all key information from the original problem description. We conduct human and automatic evaluations, including an evaluation approach that uses GPT-4 to mimic the human evaluation metrics.

  We use reinforcement learning to develop a dialogue agent that avoids being short-sighted (outputting generic utterances) and maximizes overall user satisfaction. Most existing RL approaches to DM train the agent at the word-level, and thus, have to deal with aly complex action space even for a medium-size vocabulary. We develop a RL-based DM using a novel mixture of expert language model (MoE-LM) that consists of (i) a LM capable of learning diverse semantics for conversation histories, (ii) a number of specialized LMs (or experts) capable of generating utterances corresponding to a

  Learning to converse using only a few examples is a great challenge in conversational AI. The current best conversational models are either good chit-chatters (e.g., BlenderBot) or goal-oriented systems (e.g., MinTL) We propose prompt-based few-shot learning which does not require gradient-based fine-tuning but instead uses a few examples as the only source of learning.
