EIBench: A Simulator-Based Benchmark and Turn-Credit RL for Emotion Management

arXiv:2606. 15532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotional intelligence (EI) in Large Language Models (LLMs) is often evaluated through static understanding tasks or single-response dialogue generation.

MICA: Multi-granularity Intertemporal Credit Assignment for Long-Horizon Emotional Support Dialogue

arXiv:2603. 06194v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models (LLMs) has shown strong performance in single-turn tasks, but extending it to multi-turn interaction remains challenging due to sparse rewards and poor per-turn credit assignment.

Synthesize and Reward -- Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Step Tool Use in Live Environments

arXiv:2606. 03892v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training LLMs to orchestrate multi-step tool calls is held back by three coupled obstacles: realistic stateful execution environments are costly to build, synthetic training queries are often detached from the server's actual state (so the generated tool calls fail to execute), and recall-based RL rewards incentivize verbose tool-calling patterns.

Toward Anthropomorphic Dialogue: A Closed-Loop Framework for Human-Like Chat Generation, Evaluation, and Preference Alignment

arXiv:2607. 17191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human-like private chat requires more than fluent response generation: a system must preserve persona, relationship, memory, bounded knowledge, medium-specific timing, and a coherent multi-turn arc.

State-Grounded Multi-Agent Synthetic Data Generation for Tool-Augmented LLMs

arXiv:2606. 16307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training tool-augmented LLM agents requires large corpora of multi-turn, tool-grounded conversational data that is expensive to annotate, privacy-constrained in production settings, and largely absent from public datasets.
