StagePilot: Stage-Level Planning for Long-Horizon Dialogue Simulation in Cybergrooming
Researchers have developed StagePilot, a novel dialogue framework designed to simulate long-horizon conversations for educational interventions against cyber-grooming. This system separates stage-level planning from response generation, allowing the model to select and transition between conversational stages coherently. Using reinforcement learning, StagePilot optimizes for emotional alignment and goal consistency, demonstrating improved dialogue structure and reduced stagnation compared to existing methods. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to more effective AI-driven educational tools for combating online threats like cyber-grooming.
