S-MARC: Causal Streaming Reasoning for Full-Duplex Conversational Behavior Modeling 文章

arXiv:2602.11065v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Human conversation is organized by an implicit chain of thought and manifests as temporally structured conversational behaviors. Capturing this perceptual pathway is critical for building natural full-duplex interactive systems. We propose S-MARC (Streaming Causal Modeling and Reasoning for Conversation), a streaming, causal, and hierarchical framework for conversational behavior modeling and reasoning. By formalizing the intent-to-action pathway, S-MARC predicts high-level communicative functions and low-level interaction behaviors while modeling their causal and temporal dependencies. To support this setting, we construct a high-quality corpus that pairs controllable, event-rich duplex dialogue data with behavior labels. S-MARC organizes streaming predictions into a continuously evolving graph structure, generates concise justifications for its decisions, and dynamically optimizes its reasoning process.
