多智能体框架MAC主动澄清用户模糊请求,提升对话任务成功率

MAC: A Multi-Agent Framework for Interactive User Clarification in Multi-turn Conversations

  • 设计多智能体协同机制,动态决定何时澄清及如何提问
  • 在MultiWOZ 2.4上任务成功率提升7.8%(54.5→62.3),对话轮次减少1.67轮
  • 适用于需高可靠交互的复杂对话系统,如客服、助手场景

对话代理常面临用户请求模糊的问题,需有效澄清以完成任务。尽管现实应用中多智能体架构能高效处理复杂对话,但模糊性化解仍是一大挑战,尤其在确定由哪个智能体发起澄清、如何协调行动方面存在困难。何时打断用户、如何在最优多智能体设置下生成最佳澄清问题等基本问题仍未解决。本文提出MAC(多智能体澄清)框架,通过系统化管理澄清对话来优化模糊性解决。首先引入新的用户模糊性分类体系,指导澄清策略;其次提出MAC,实现多智能体与用户间协同交互。在MultiWOZ 2.4上的实证评估显示,双层澄清机制使任务成功率提升7.8%(从54.5%增至62.3%),平均对话轮次从6.53降至4.86,提前获取全部必要信息并减少重复。研究强调主动用户交互与角色感知澄清对更可靠人机通信的重要性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conversational agents often encounter ambiguous user requests, requiring an effective clarification to successfully complete tasks. While recent advancements in real-world applications favor multi-agent architectures to manage complex conversational scenarios efficiently, ambiguity resolution remains a critical and underexplored challenge--particularly due to the difficulty of determining which agent should initiate a clarification and how agents should coordinate their actions when faced with uncertain or incomplete user input. The fundamental questions of when to interrupt a user and how to formulate the optimal clarification query within the most optimal multi-agent settings remain open. In this paper, we propose MAC (Multi-Agent Clarification), an interactive multi-agent framework specifically optimized to resolve user ambiguities by strategically managing clarification dialogues. We first introduce a novel taxonomy categorizing user ambiguities to systematically guide clarification strategies. Then, we present MAC that autonomously coordinates multiple agents to interact synergistically with users. Empirical evaluations on MultiWOZ 2.4 demonstrate that enabling clarification at both levels increases task success rate 7.8\% (54.5 to 62.3) and reduces the average number of dialogue turns (6.53 to 4.86) by eliciting all required user information up front and minimizing repetition. Our findings highlight the importance of active user interaction and role-aware clarification for more reliable human-agent communication.
