让对话代理显式跟踪用户意图与任务状态,提升多轮交互的准确性与效率。
Intent-Driven Situation Tracking for User-Centric Multi-Turn Agents

- 构建显式情境状态,分离事实与任务判断,避免重复推断。
- 在八种大模型上测试,任务完成率与交互效率显著提升。
- 特别适合需要多实体协作与动态约束处理的复杂任务场景。
以用户为中心的多轮对话代理需应对由用户意图变化、工具生成的事实、信息缺失及执行约束共同塑造的任务情境演化。现有上下文管理方法虽能利用历史交互,但通常未维护显式的情境状态,导致代理需从对话记录中隐式推断细粒度属性、任务依赖和约束满足情况。本文提出无需训练的意图驱动情境状态(IDSS)框架,同步维护对话与显式情境状态。IDSS将工具返回解析为带有溯源信息的实体与属性,追踪用户意图、所需变量、约束条件及执行状态,并将新事实传播至任务约束以更新动作可执行性。这使代理能够避免不可行操作、推进依赖目标、复用相关信息而无需反复检索原始历史。在三个交互基准上对八种LLM的实验表明,IDSS显著提升了任务完成率、偏好获取能力与交互效率,尤其在涉及多实体协同、用户约束演化及约束感知重规划的任务中表现突出。消融与错误分析显示,这些改进源于事实持久性、以意图为中心的状态追踪与约束建模之间的协同作用。结果表明,显式情境追踪为可靠用户中心型多轮代理提供了有效替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
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. Existing context-management methods improve the use of past interaction history, but rarely maintain an explicit situation state that separates grounded facts from task-state judgments. As a result, agents often need to infer fine-grained attributes, task dependencies, and constraint satisfaction implicitly from dialogue traces. We propose Intent-Driven Situation States (IDSS), a training-free framework that maintains an explicit situation state alongside the dialogue. IDSS parses tool returns into provenance-aware entities and attributes, tracks user intents, required variables, constraints, and execution status, and propagates new facts to task constraints to update action executability. This allows agents to avoid infeasible actions, advance dependent goals, and reuse relevant information without repeatedly searching raw history. Experiments on three interactive benchmarks across eight LLMs show that IDSS improves task completion, preference elicitation, and interaction efficiency, with clear gains on tasks involving multi-entity coordination, evolving user constraints, and constraint-aware replanning. Ablations and error analyses show that these improvements come from the interaction between fact persistence, intent-centered state tracking, and constraint modeling. These results suggest that explicit situation tracking offers an effective alternative to history-centric context management for reliable user-centric multi-turn agents.
