近年来，基于辩论的对话系统取得了一些进展，但对Agent在对话中的策略行为的理解研究较少。我们研究代理策略，通过连接一个特定形式的基于辩论的对话和机制设计。具体来说，专注于说服对话，我们展示了如何对话可以映射到机制设计的概念。我们证明了“真实”和“彻底”的对话策略是特定条件下的主导策略。我们还证明了使用这种对话策略的机制实现了我们定义的“说服社会选择功能”。这些结果表明，所提出的策略的有效性，在说服代理和研究说服机制设计技术的可行性。
Recently we have seen a few development in argumentation-based dialogue systems, but there is less research in understanding agents’ strategic behaviour in dialogues. We study agent strategies by linking a specific form of argumentation-based dialogues and mechanism design. Specifically, focusing on persuasion dialogues, we show how dialogues can be mapped to concepts in mechanism design. We prove that a “truthful” and “thorough” dialogue strategy is a dominant strategy under specific conditions. We also prove that a mechanism using this dialogue strategy implements a “persuasion social choice function” we define. These results show the validity of the proposed strategies for agents in persuasion and the feasibility of studying persuasion with mechanism design techniques.
