Title: Decision-aware User Simulation Agent for Evaluating Conversational Recommender Systems

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.05250v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational recommender systems (CRS) increasingly rely on user simulators for automated evaluation of sales agents. A key requirement for such simulators is the ability to model human decision-making. However, most existing simulation frameworks do not explicitly model the internal decision process, and LLM-based simulators often exhibit unrealistically strong information-processing capabilities, rarely exhibit the hesitation or decision defe
