Human and LLM Facilitation in Collaborative Design Meetings: A Computational Behavioral Comparison

The study compares human Project Manager facilitation with Llama 3.1 8B Instruct responses in scenario‑based collaborative design meetings, analyzing 199 paired contexts from the AMI Meeting Corpus. Five behavioral dimensions—contextual semantic distance, lexical elaboration, empathy‑and‑hedge lexical density, topic divergence, and phase‑vocabulary alignment—were examined. Human facilitation showed higher contextual semantic distance and empathy‑and‑hedge density, while Llama facilitation exhibited greater topic divergence, lexical elaboration, and instruction‑conditioned phase alignment.

Speak for Me: Giving LLMs the Situational Awareness to Participate in a Meeting

The paper introduces CAPA, a Collaborative Agent Predictive Architecture designed to give large language model (LLM) agents situational awareness in online meetings. CAPA uses a Perceiver to update meeting state, a Predictor to forecast conversation flow, a Controller to decide speaking actions, and a Generator to phrase contributions. Evaluated on 137 AMI meetings, CAPA reduces the silence rate from 51.4% to 2.5%, doubles credited recovery, and maintains low hallucination, demonstrating that structured state tracking is key to effective delegation.

Speak for Me: Giving LLMs the Situational Awareness to Participate in a Meeting

The paper introduces CAPA, a Collaborative Agent Predictive Architecture designed to improve large language model (LLM) participation in online meetings. CAPA tracks meeting state with a Perceiver, predicts conversation flow, decides when and what to speak, and generates contributions in the participant’s style, all while being calibrated by judges. In experiments on 137 AMI meetings, CAPA cuts the LLM’s silence rate from 51.4% to 2.5%, doubles credited recovery, and maintains low hallucination.

Evaluating LLM-Simulated Conversations in Modeling Inconsistent and Uncollaborative Behaviors in Human Social Interaction

The paper introduces CoCoEval, a framework for evaluating large language model (LLM)–simulated conversations by detecting 10 types of inconsistent and uncollaborative behaviors at the turn level. Using CoCoEval, the authors compare human conversations with those generated by GPT‑4.1, GPT‑5.1, and Claude Opus 4, finding that LLMs produce far fewer such behaviors under vanilla prompting and that prompt engineering or fine‑tuning often over‑produces specific behaviors. The study highlights gaps between human and LLM‑simulated interactions that conventional Likert‑scale evaluations miss, raising concerns about using LLMs as proxies for human social interaction.

The Social Cost of an AI Teammate: How an Artificial Teammate Reshapes Human-Human Communication in Small-Team Decision-Making

arXiv:2607. 27179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational AI is increasingly positioned as a teammate rather than a tool, yet we know little about how its presence reshapes communication among the humans on the team.
