让聊天机器人按场景精准共情,减少用户期待与实际感受的差距。

From Measurement to Expertise: Empathetic Expert Adapters for Context-Based Empathy in Conversational AI Agents

  • 基于任务上下文训练专用共情适配器,实现个性化回应。
  • 共情差距降低72.66%,用户感知共情得分提升2.43倍。
  • 适合需要高情感敏感度的客服、心理咨询等场景。

共情是提升对话式AI用户体验的关键因素。尽管现有模型能表现共情,但往往泛化且不贴合具体任务和上下文。本文分析了包含672轮多轮对话的8个真实任务数据集,发现用户期望与实际体验的共情水平存在显著差异。为此,我们构建了一个合成多轮对话生成流程,通过上下文引导使回复更贴近用户预期。在此基础上,训练了针对不同任务的共情专家适配器,可动态调整共情强度。实验表明,感知共情与期望共情之间的差距减少了72.66%,评分平均提升2.43倍(基于自定义指标与奖励模型)。此外,所提适配器在长对话中更能保持共情一致性,优于传统系统提示词,后者随对话轮次增加迅速失效。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Empathy is a critical factor in fostering positive user experiences in conversational AI. While models can display empathy, it is often generic rather than tailored to specific tasks and contexts. In this work, we introduce a novel framework for developing and evaluating context-specific empathetic large language models (LLMs). We first analyze a real-world conversational dataset consisting of 672 multi-turn conversations across 8 tasks, revealing significant differences in terms of expected and experienced empathy before and after the conversations, respectively. To help minimize this gap, we develop a synthetic multi-turn conversational generation pipeline and steer responses toward our defined empathy patterns based on the context that more closely matches users' expectations. We then train empathetic expert adapters for context-specific empathy that specialize in varying empathy levels based on the recognized task. Our empirical results demonstrate a significant gap reduction of 72.66% between perceived and desired empathy with scores increasing by an average factor of 2.43 as measured by our metrics and reward models. Additionally, our trained empathetic expert adapters demonstrate superior effectiveness in preserving empathy patterns throughout conversation turns, outperforming system prompts, which tend to dramatically diminish in impact as conversations lengthen.
