Introduced dialog agents with the capability to negotiate, utilizing multi-issue bargaining tasks. Key technical innovation is 'dialog rollouts,' a technique where an agent simulates future conversations to choose utterances with maximum expected future reward. Agents were trained end-to-end on human negotiation data and fine-tuned using reinforcement learning, achieving performance comparable to human negotiators and demonstrating novel negotiation tactics and sentence generation.
