Personalized Turn-Level User Conversation Satisfaction Benchmark

Zhefan Wang, Zhiqiang Guo, Weizhi Ma et al.

User satisfaction with AI assistants is highly personalized: the same response may satisfy one user but disappoint another depending on what each user expects and what they have asked for before. Existing automatic evaluation methods mostly measure generic response quality, making it difficult to judge whether a response satisfies a user at a specific turn. We study this problem as personalized turn-level user conversation satisfaction evaluation. We build a conversation satisfaction evaluator that combines compact user memories with target-turn context to produce satisfaction scores and dissatisfaction-oriented rationales. Meta-evaluation against human satisfaction annotations shows that personalized memory and post-hoc score calibration improve ordinal agreement and dissatisfied-turn detection over supervised, retrieval-based, and generic LLM-as-a-judge baselines. We further introduce PersTurnBench, a personalized turn-level user conversation satisfaction benchmark that uses the verified evaluator to assess generation models via replay. By holding the replay state fixed, PersTurnBench enables controlled comparison of generic generation models and memory-augmented personalized systems without new human labels for every candidate model. The evaluator and benchmark let researchers compare candidate generation models on personalized satisfaction without collecting new user feedback for every model.

NeuronBlocks: Building Your NLP DNN Models Like Playing Lego

Ming Gong, Linjun Shou, Wutao Lin et al.

Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have been widely employed in industry to address various Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, many engineers find it a big overhead when they have to choose from multiple frameworks, compare different types of models, and understand various optimization mechanisms. An NLP toolkit for DNN models with both generality and flexibility can greatly improve the productivity of engineers by saving their learning cost and guiding them to find optimal solutions to their tasks. In this paper, we introduce NeuronBlocks\footnote{Code: \url{https://github.com/Microsoft/NeuronBlocks}} \footnote{Demo: \url{https://youtu.be/x6cOpVSZcdo}}, a toolkit encapsulating a suite of neural network modules as building blocks to construct various DNN models with complex architecture. This toolkit empowers engineers to build, train, and test various NLP models through simple configuration of JSON files. The experiments on several NLP datasets such as GLUE, WikiQA and CoNLL-2003 demonstrate the effectiveness of NeuronBlocks.
