EchoChat Proposes Three-Stage Cognitive Framework for Empathetic Voice Dialogue
- Explicitly models empathy as a three-stage structure: perception, Theory of Mind reasoning, and response generation
- Reduces step-by-step error propagation in multi-stage reasoning via a unified optimization framework
- Leverages acoustic features (e.g., tone, pauses) to assist in inferring user beliefs and psychological needs
