You Know What I Mean: A Benchmark for Agentic Conversational Reference Grounding
Collaborative conversations frequently contain references whose targets are indirect rather than named: resolving "this looks like the fix discussed yesterday" requires combining conversational context with evidence from the surrounding workspace which is accessible through APIs or user interfaces. We formalize this problem as Conversational Reference Grounding (CoRG): using a given set of tools to resolve a reference in conversation to the unique external item intended by the speaker. CoRG is challenging because it combines lexical, semantic, and temporal cues distributed across the conversation and the external workspace. Agents must translate these heterogeneous signals into effective ...
