摘要

Current conversational agents often follow static learning paradigms and miss the implicit, evolving feedback embedded in users' follow-up behaviors. We propose IEvoAgent, an evolving conversational agent framework that leverages the structured dependency between agent responses and user reactions. We construct an annotated dataset from LMSYS-Chat-1M and WildChat and find consistent response-conditioned feedback patterns. Based on this finding, IEvoAgent uses a conditional feedback distribution matrix to estimate expected feedback rewards, combining offline KTO alignment with an inference-time promptevolution mechanism driven by a dynamic matrix. Experiments on MT-Bench-101, Wild-Bench, and FB-Bench show improvements over open-source baselines, indicating that mining implicit feedback supports better multiturn alignment under evolving user preferences. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/Hualeez/IEvoAgent .
