New Framework ESC-Skills Enhances Emotional Support Conversations

Researchers have developed ESC-Skills, a novel framework designed to enhance emotional support conversations by focusing on discoverable and self-evolving skills. This system models interactions as Intervention Units (IUs) to capture the dynamics between seeker states, support actions, and emotional outcomes. The ESC-Skills Bank, a repository of these skills, is refined through a multi-profile self-evolutionary process, leading to improved response quality, better dialogue-level emotional outcomes, and increased interpretability and control. AI
