FishBargain: An LLM-Empowered Bargaining Agent for Online Fleamarket Platform Sellers

Understand

Different from traditional Business-to-Consumer e-commerce platforms~(e.g., Amazon), online fleamarket platforms~(e.g., Craigslist) mainly focus on individual sellers who are lack of time investment and business proficiency.

• Individual sellers often struggle with the bargaining process and thus the deal is unaccomplished.
• Recent advancements in Large Language Models(LLMs) demonstrate huge potential in various dialogue tasks, but those tasks are mainly in the form of passively following user's instruction.
• Bargaining, as a form of proactive dialogue task, represents a distinct art of dialogue considering the dynamism of environment and uncertainty of adversary strategies.
