Darshan Deshpande, Shambhavi Sinha, Anirudh Ravi Kumar, Debaditya Pal,, Jonathan May

TL;DR
This paper introduces GNOME, a framework that generates synthetic open-domain negotiation dialogues from closed-domain datasets using Large Language Models, enhancing generalization and reducing manual data curation.
Contribution
GNOME is a novel automated method that transforms existing datasets into open-domain negotiation data, improving model generalization and reducing manual effort.
Findings
Models trained on GNOME-generated data outperform previous state-of-the-art in strategy prediction.
GNOME improves cross-domain generalization of negotiation models.
Synthetic data enhances model performance in unseen negotiation domains.
Abstract
Language Models have previously shown strong negotiation capabilities in closed domains where the negotiation strategy prediction scope is constrained to a specific setup. In this paper, we first show that these models are not generalizable beyond their original training domain despite their wide-scale pretraining. Following this, we propose an automated framework called GNOME, which processes existing human-annotated, closed-domain datasets using Large Language Models and produces synthetic open-domain dialogues for negotiation. GNOME improves the generalizability of negotiation systems while reducing the expensive and subjective task of manual data curation. Through our experimental setup, we create a benchmark comparing encoder and decoder models trained on existing datasets against datasets created through GNOME. Our results show that models trained on our dataset not only perform…
