arXiv:2607. 16021v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dialogue state tracking (DST) is one of the core components in task-oriented dialogue systems.
Dialogue state tracking (DST) is one of the core components in task-oriented dialogue systems. At each turn in a conversation, DST estimates the user belief or dialogue state, which is used as input for downstream modules to predict system actions and generate responses.

arXiv:2601. 07994v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly operate over long-form dialogues with frequent topic shifts.
The paper introduces a decoupled data approach for the Neural Finite State Machine (NFSM) framework to improve full‑duplex dialogue. It serializes real human‑human spoken dialogues into FSM tapes using a rule‑based event‑guided transformation, while shaping semantics through human‑agent text dialogues. A Source‑Aware Calibrated (SAC) loss is proposed to balance state‑transition token distribution and align each data source with its strongest supervisory signal, leading to better turn‑taking performance without sacrificing semantic quality.
PERSIST is a persistent memory system designed for multi-session, multi-speaker spoken dialogue, explicitly modeling Who, What, and When to enable voice assistants to recall past conversations and adapt to individual users. It structures cross-session histories into readable event records and retrieves them using a 3W joint scoring mechanism that combines semantic content, acoustic speaker identity, and temporal state. By reusing intermediate representations from the dialogue backbone, PERSIST reduces retrieval latency from 578.42 ms to 7.03 ms and achieves 85.08% end‑to‑end task accuracy on the SpokenTrace benchmark, improving EM@3 from 49.01% to 82.10%.
IRWOZ 2.0 is a refined dialogue dataset for industrial human‑robot interaction, expanding to 390 dialogues across four domains—Assembly, Delivery, Position, and Relocation. The dataset was improved using large language models (Mistral and Claude‑3.5) for generation and quality refinement, including manual corrections and automated typo removal. Benchmark tests show a substantial boost in dialogue state‑tracking performance, with GPT‑2’s BLEU‑4 score rising from 0.1651 to 0.5604 compared to the original IRWOZ.
arXiv:2608. 15755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User-centric multi-turn agents must act on an evolving task situation shaped by changing user intents, accumulated tool-grounded facts, missing information, and execution constraints.
The paper introduces a method for forecasting conversational derailment by incorporating speech act information as an auxiliary signal to enhance pragmatic representations. This approach aims to reduce lexical noise and improve generalizability, especially in low-data and cross-domain scenarios. Experiments on three datasets demonstrate performance gains over existing methods.

Hy‑MultiTurn is a Chinese benchmark designed to evaluate deep multi‑turn dialogue understanding over long interactions. It introduces six controlled evaluation modes—constraint memory, precise execution, constraint synthesis, object localization, action suppression, and reference resolution—across 209 tasks ranging from 12 to 76 turns, incorporating dialogue length, irrelevant distractions, and colloquial phrasing. Testing 22 state‑of‑the‑art models shows the benchmark is highly challenging, with even the best model meeting all criteria only 41.1% of the time and no model excelling in every mode.
