EmoFSM: A Finite State Machine for Emotional Support Conversation
arXiv:2504. 11837v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Emotional support conversation (ESC) aims to alleviate people's emotional distress through effective conversations.
arXiv:2603. 25031v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In psychological support and emotional companionship scenarios, the core limitation of large language models (LLMs) lies not merely in response quality, but in their reliance on local next-token prediction, which prevents them from maintaining the temporal continuity, stage awareness, and user consent boundaries required for multi-turn intervention.

arXiv:2606. 29495v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As LLM-based conversational agents advance toward increasingly open-ended and interaction-intensive scenarios, task completion alone provides an incomplete assessment of their effectiveness.
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.
arXiv:2607. 07824v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have substantially advanced persona-based dialogue agents for emotion-sensitive role simulation in healthcare, education, counseling, customer service, and interactive storytelling.
arXiv:2607. 22651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have enabled increasingly capable conversational agents, but reliably controlling their behavior in real-time interactive environments remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2606. 03698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A central goal of large language model (LLM) research is to build agentic systems that can plan, act, and adapt through sustained interaction with dynamic environments.
arXiv:2606. 09837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emotional interaction is increasingly crucial for conversational AI, yet current systems lack a self-emotion determination mechanism to drive the streaming text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis.
arXiv:2606. 08531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evolving from simple text-based interaction systems into LLM agents that can maintain memory, use tools, access external environments, and execute tasks.
arXiv:2607. 17564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI companions are judged not only by single-turn fluency but by whether they sustain emotional continuity: remembering who the companion is, what the user prefers, and how the relationship has felt.
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.
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.
arXiv:2606. 18258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit a wide range of human-like behaviors, from expressing thoughts and emotions, to engaging in relationship-building with users, to refusing requests and maintaining boundaries.
