Abstract
Online shoppers increasingly turn to AI shopping assistants, using images and multi-turn dialogue to express and refine product needs that are difficult to articulate in text alone. However, existing benchmarks largely rely on text-only or synthetic requests, underrepresenting complex real-world shopping requirements jointly expressed through images and language. We introduce MMShopBench, the first real-log benchmark for multimodal, multi-turn shopping agents. Built from carefully cleaned and manually annotated shopping logs, MMShopBench provides ground-truth annotations of each request's purchase intent and mandatory product requirements. Agents must infer these requirements jointly from user images and multi-turn dialogue, retrieve candidate products through image and text search, and verify that each candidate satisfies all requirements using its product images and structured attributes. We evaluate representative open-source and proprietary models using an evidence-grounded multimodal protocol and construct a companion training set for fine-tuning an open-source model. To ensure reproducible experimentation, we build an offline shopping sandbox, where fine-tuning substantially narrows the performance gap between our open-source model and leading proprietary models, demonstrating the effectiveness of our training data.
A unified taxonomy of 8 categories covering ambiguous and unanswerable questions is addressed, a multi-agent generation pipeline with a two-stage process (NLQ generation followed by SQL grounding) and an explicit Category Conformance validation stage are addressed.

Conversational recommendation for e-commerce is increasingly mediated by large language models (LLMs), yet many real-world deployments operate under a stricter requirement: recommendations must be drawn only from a merchant's fixed catalog, without web search or unsupported product claims. In this setting, the main cha...

The proposed Multi-turn Multimodal Interactive Dialogue (MMID) Benchmark enables comprehensive evaluation of the Perception, Memorization, and Reasoning abilities of MLLMs, and reveals MLLMs perform well with text-based input but degrade with images, requiring improved leverage fine-grained visual cues.

This work presents PersonaKit (PK), an open-source, low-latency web platform that simulates full-duplex turn-taking pragmatics—via a cascade pipeline and prompt-level control rather than a jointly trained speak-while-listening model.
