SocialRL is a multi-turn reinforcement learning framework that refines large language models’ social intelligence. It uses PPO to propagate delayed outcome rewards across turns, enabling long‑horizon planning, and introduces six process reward dimensions—such as goal advancement and relational attunement—to capture the goal‑relationship trade‑off. A reward model provides fine‑grained scoring and a stage‑aware weight schedule prioritizes relationship building early, goal pursuit mid‑way, and balanced closure later, yielding an average 9.2 percentage‑point improvement in goal achievement across multiple social‑dialogue benchmarks.
The paper introduces SIC-Agents, a self‑improving framework designed to enhance simulation for pediatric serious illness communication (SIC) training. It presents two new benchmark suites—PitfallBench and DialogueBench—that assess simulators at both turn‑level and full‑dialogue levels, specifically addressing the unique challenges of multi‑party interactions and parental distress. Experiments demonstrate that SIC‑Agents surpasses static expert prompting, and the authors release the benchmarks for broader research use.
