As systems must understand users{'} preferences, training them has called for conversational corpora, typically derived from task-oriented conversations. We observe that such corpora often do not reflect how people naturally describe preferences. We present a new approach to obtaining user preferences in dialogue: Coached Conversational Preference Elicitation. It allows collection of natural yet structured conversational preferences. Studying the dialogues in one domain, we present a brief quantitative analysis of how people describe movie preferences at scale. Demonstrating the methodology, we release the CCPE-M dataset to the community with over 500 movie preference dialogues expressing over 10,000 preferences.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/W19-5941","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/W19-5941.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"conversational-recommendation","task_name":"Conversational Recommendation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"ccpe-m","name":"CCPE-M","full_name":"Coached Conversational Preference Elicitation dataset for Movies"},{"slug":"coached-conversational-preference-elicitation","name":"Coached Conversational Preference Elicitation","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
