Generalization of interaction awareness beyond English and short-horizon tasks

Determine whether interaction awareness, as measured by the genuine-followup rate in user-turn generation, generalizes to multilingual settings, code generation tasks, and longer-horizon multi-turn interactions beyond the English-only conversational domains evaluated in HealthBench and Coval.

Background

The paper introduces user-turn generation and a genuine-followup evaluation to probe whether LLMs encode interaction awareness. While held-out evaluations use HealthBench and Coval to partially validate the approach, both datasets are English-only and focus on relatively short conversational horizons.

The authors explicitly note that they did not test multilingual, code generation, or longer-horizon multi-turn contexts. Establishing whether the observed interaction awareness and evaluation methodology transfer to these settings remains an unresolved question.

References

Our held-out evaluations (HealthBench, Coval) partially address this, but both are English-only conversational domains; generalization to multilingual settings, code generation, or longer-horizon multi-turn interactions remains untested.

Furthermore, our empirical validation is restricted to single-turn, English short-form question-answering which is the predominant setting adopted by existing hallucination detection benchmarks. The generalizability of these topological indices to non-English syntax, long-form multi-turn generation, or complex agentic reasoning pathways remains unverified.

Generalization to multilingual, code, tool-use, multi-turn, and stochastic settings, as well as robustness to evolving proprietary endpoints, remains open.
