Confidence Reasoning Graphs: Structured Confidence Estimation for LLM Agents

When using an LLM agent in a consequential domain, making an informed decision about whether to trust its output or intervene requires calibrated confidence in the agent's success. Confidence estimation for agents is difficult because evidence about success is distributed across heterogeneous, interdependent steps of a...

Harness Engineering for Software Engineering via Modular Executable Dev-Primitives

Large language models (LLMs) equipped with terminal access have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks. However, existing agents remain brittle on long-horizon workflows, where they must repeatedly reconstruct program state scattered across source files, configurations, tests, depende...

ThinkFuse: Trajectory-Aware Test-Time Fusion for Small Reasoning Models

Small reasoning models (SRMs) have shown strong performance on complex reasoning tasks by generating extended chain-of-thought trajectories, but they often fail to recover once their reasoning enters an erroneous path. Existing test-time fusion methods rely on local fusion signals to determine when to trigger fusion, w...

Where Rules End and Judges Begin: Measuring the Judgment Boundary in Multi-Agent Systems Security

LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) engage tools, share memory, and delegate tasks, often encountering adversarial content. Current defenses for MAS are typically evaluated in isolation, focusing on one attack type at a time, which can lead to costly and hard-to-audit outcomes. This study organizes defenses into five p...

LOGIC: An LLM Benchmark for Intent-Grounded Change Impact in Aerospace Electrical Systems

Aerospace electrical-design revisions can contain multiple genuine changes, although an engineering request may authorize only a subset. Propagating every detected difference can therefore produce overly broad impact reports. We present LOGIC, a controlled benchmark and evaluation framework in which locally deployable...

Disentangling Models from Personas in Heterogeneous LLM Simulations

Multi-agent simulations with large language models (LLMs) often operate networks of agents with a single base model. This overlooks the inter-model effects which may dominate engagement dynamics in real-world deployments. To show this, we simulate a heterogeneous social network powered by several different base models...

Safeguarding LLMs via Model-Agnostic Latent Safety Signals from Dark Knowledge

LLMs have advanced rapidly, raising growing concerns about their safety. Recent work has proposed approaches to detect and defend against attacks including defenses at decoding stage that leverage models'hidden states. However, existing decoding-stage defenses suffer from two limitations. First, they introduce a trade-...

On Open-Ended Information Seeking for Information Elicitation Agents

Information elicitation is an open-ended information-seeking problem in which an interaction can unfold in many potentially valuable directions, requiring an elicitor to continually determine which information to pursue as new information emerges. In agentic elicitation, these decisions may be delegated to a foundation...

In With the Old: Enhancing 'Classical' Document Automation with Generative AI

Software-based legal assistance systems have leveraged many different forms of knowledge representation and reasoning. This article explores how document automation services rooted in expert system style and other symbolic approaches can usefully enhance and be enhanced by current generative AI approaches. We discuss t...

Auditable Claims about AI Agents

Organizations make claims about their AI agents: a person approves every external email, every action is logged, an evaluation shows the agent is safe to deploy. Article 12 of the EU AI Act requires high-risk systems to allow the automatic recording of events but does not say which records settle a given claim. The pos...

A doctrine-grounded visual question answering dataset for Tactical Combat Casualty Care

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) requires responders to connect visual observations of injuries and interventions with established clinical guidance. Developing vision-language models to support this process requires supervision that links visible evidence to traceable doctrine. We present TC3-VQA, a dataset constru...

Responsible Institutional Analytics: Interpreting Bias with AI Support

Institutional Analytics (IA) dashboards inform decision-making in higher education, yet data limitations, constraints in analytical techniques, and missing contextual information often affect their interpretation. To support more responsible interpretation of IA, we introduce FACTRIA, a framework that organizes potenti...
