  • 用动态文化混合模型替代固定文化标签,实现灵活沟通
  • 通过对话信号实时校准文化偏好,捕捉行为变化
  • 结合心智理论记忆模块,跟踪对方认知状态,适合跨文化交互

社交互动日益发生在多元文化环境中,个体可能融合多种文化影响并在不同情境中调整沟通方式。尽管大型语言模型在社交理解方面已有进展,但现有方法通常将文化视为静态人口属性,难以应对混合与动态表达的沟通偏好。为此,本文提出无需训练的DyCAC框架,通过动态文化适应与持续认知追踪实现流畅的社会对齐。该框架不推断固定文化身份,而是将文化相关沟通偏好建模为随时间变化的人群级文化参考特征的混合体,并利用对话中观察到的实时信号进行校准,从而捕捉复合文化影响及每一轮对话中的行为转变。同时,基于心智理论(ToM)的记忆模块持续追踪对话对象的认知状态。在交互式社会与文化基准测试中的大量实验表明,该框架显著优于现有基线,在多种多元文化场景中展现出更强的社会智能与广泛适应性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Social interaction increasingly takes place in multicultural settings, where individuals may draw on multiple cultural influences and adapt their communicative behavior across contexts. Despite recent advances in equipping Large Language Models (LLMs) with social understanding capabilities, existing approaches often model culture as a static demographic attribute, limiting their ability to accommodate hybrid and dynamically expressed communicative preferences. Therefore, in this paper, we propose \textbf{DyCAC}, a training-free framework that achieves fluid social alignment by incorporating \underline{Dy}namic \underline{C}ultural \underline{A}daptation with continuous \underline{C}ognitive tracking. Rather than inferring a fixed cultural identity, DyCAC models culturally relevant communicative preferences as a time-varying mixture of population-level cultural reference profiles. This reference-based representation is further calibrated using dialogue-style signals observed in the ongoing interaction, enabling the model to capture both composite cultural influences and turn-level shifts in communicative behavior. In parallel, a memory module driven by Theory of Mind (ToM) continuously tracks the cognitive states of the interlocutor. Extensive experiments on interactive social and cultural benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our approach. The proposed framework outperforms existing baselines, exhibiting enhanced social intelligence and broad adaptability across varied multicultural contexts.
