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

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Examining Human-Like Behaviors in LLMs: A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Model Behaviors, User Factors, and System Prompts

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.

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.
