New TTBYS framework boosts LLM persuasive dialogue with dual knowledge

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced a new framework called Think Thrice Before You Speak (TTBYS) to enhance the Theory of Mind (ToM) capabilities in large language models for persuasive dialogue. This framework addresses limitations in current models by explicitly modeling the sequential dependencies among mental states like beliefs and desires, using the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) framework. To support this, they also created a large dataset, ToM-based Broad Persuasive Dialogues (ToM-BPD), and demonstrated that a Qwen3-8B model augmented with TTBYS outperformed GPT-5 on predicting mental states and persuasive strategies.

    Think Thrice Before You Speak: Dual knowledge-enhanced Theory-of-Mind Reasoning for Persuasive Agents

    Persuasive dialogue requires reasoning about others' latent mental states, a capability known as Theory of Mind (ToM). However, due to reliance on simple prompting strategies and insufficient ToM knowledge, existing LLMs often fail to capture the intrinsic dependencies among ment…
