New benchmark and PRISM framework improve LLMs' ability to identify emotional appraisal dimensions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced the AppraiSal benchmark, a dataset of 996 emotional support conversations annotated with human mental states and salient cognitive appraisal dimensions. This benchmark aims to help Large Language Models (LLMs) better infer context-specific appraisal dimensions, which are crucial for modifying cognitive appraisals in emotional support tasks. To address this, a new framework called PRISM, based on Bayesian Inverse Planning, has been developed, demonstrating improvements in LLMs' ability to identify these salient dimensions across various model sizes.

    Why It Hurts: Identifying the Drivers of Negative Thoughts in Emotional Support Conversations

    arXiv:2607.28648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for emotional support tasks, such as negative thought reframing. This task relies on modifying cognitive appraisals, the subjective interpretation of events that elicit negative e…
