1k+ downloads each on the MINT empathy models since release 🔥 Encouraging to see the interest in our work!
tl;dr: In multi-turn empathic dialogue, LLMs reuse the same discourse moves far more often than humans do; MINT uses RL to diversify them. Give it a try!👇

New paper! 🏁 Last one from my PhD at UT Austin.
LLMs sound empathic but repeat the same discourse moves turn after turn — at 2x the rate of humans.
We built MINT🌿, the first RL framework for discourse move diversity in empathic dialogue. +25% empathy, −26% repetition.
