A computer-implemented method for virtual agent conversation training is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining a current state of a first stage of a conversation between a pair of virtual agents. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a pivot distance between the current state of the first stage of the conversation and a subsequent, second stage of the conversation. The computer-implemented method further includes responsive to determining that the pivot distance between the current state of the first stage of the conversation and the subsequent, second stage of the conversation is below a predetermined threshold, determining an angle of dislocation with respect to the pivot distance. The computer-implemented method further includes terminating the conversation based, at least in part, on determining that the angle of dislocation is above a predetermined threshold.
