New TIDES dataset enhances AI's understanding of multi-party conversations

Researchers have introduced TIDES, a new longitudinal dataset designed to improve the modeling of multi-party social dynamics in group conversations. This dataset comprises over 75,000 utterances in English and Korean from 12 university project teams over a full semester, offering a naturalistic view of team evolution. Experiments show that fine-tuning models on TIDES enhances next-speaker prediction and performs comparably to proprietary models on benchmarks like the AMI Meeting Corpus, though human evaluations indicate that improved prediction doesn't always lead to more natural-sounding dialogue.

    TIDES: A Longitudinal Bilingual Dataset for Modeling Multi-Party Social Dynamics

    arXiv:2608.01724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Group conversations are fundamental to human collaboration, yet standard large language models (LLMs) still struggle with the complexities of multi-party interaction. This challenge persists in part because existing group conversati…
