让聊天机器人主动发现团队协作中的问题并及时干预。
ProACT: Towards Breakdown-Aware Proactive Agent in Multi-User Collaboration

- 通过分析对话历史识别协作断裂点,决定是否介入。
- 在5个不同场景中,协作恰当性提升,且不随意打断对话。
- 首个评估多用户协作中主动型机器人的基准数据集。
对话式智能体正越来越多地嵌入人类协作工作,但其本质仍是被动响应:仅回应用户明确请求,而非像人类一样主动识别团队需要及时干预的时刻。这种被动设计严重限制了智能体作为多用户协作中积极参与者的能力,因为分歧、目标模糊、遗漏约束、计划不完整、讨论循环和参与不均等问题会逐渐拖慢团队进展。为使智能体从被动助手转向协作中的主动角色,我们提出ProACT——一个基于共同认知、协作规划与协调工作理论的断裂感知框架。ProACT分析带发言者归属的对话历史,判断当前发言是否包含需干预的协作断裂,决定是否保持沉默或发声,并在需要时调用相应的协作技能。我们还构建了首个多用户协作基准,涵盖项目规划、产品设计、科研合作、物流管理、教育及资源受限决策等场景。在3,244个回合级样本和5种大模型基础上,ProACT显著优于直接对话,在协作恰当性、非干扰性、简洁性和干预质量方面均有提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Conversational agents are increasingly embedded in human collaborative work, yet they remain fundamentally passive and reactive: they respond to explicit user requests rather than proactively recognizing moments when a team would benefit from timely intervention as human collaborators often do. This reactive design substantially limits the use of agents as active participants in multi-user collaboration, where disagreements, ambiguous goals, forgotten constraints, underspecified plans, discussion loops, and imbalanced participation can gradually undermine group progress. To move agents from passive assistants toward active participants in multi-user collaboration, we introduce ProACT, a breakdown-aware agent framework grounded in theories of common ground, collaborative planning, and coordination work. ProACT observes the speaker-attributed conversation history, determines whether the current turn contains a collaboration breakdown requiring intervention, decides whether the agent should stay silent or speak, and, when speaking is needed, routes the case to a targeted collaboration skill. We further introduce the first multi-user collaboration benchmark for evaluating proactive agents across project planning, product design, research collaboration, logistics, education, and resource-constrained decision making. Across 3,244 turn-level examples and five LLM backbones, ProACT consistently improves collaborative appropriateness, non-interruptiveness, conciseness, and judged intervention quality over direct chat.
