From Mastery Profile to Simulated Response: Stochastic Student Knowledge Graphs (SSKG) for Faithful LLM Student Simulation

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to simulate students at different mastery levels to generate synthetic training data and stress-test tutoring systems. Existing approaches primarily leverage an LLM to answer questions or perform tests while instructing it to simulate various skill levels. However, LLM...

Different Feedback, Different Updates: Selective Self-Learning from User Interactions for Large Language Models

User feedback offers natural supervision for persistent LLM improvement, but a single message may support multiple behavioral changes with different scopes of generalization. We introduce SLIFT, a selective self-learning framework built on a task-relative view of user feedback. SLIFT decomposes each feedback message in...

ResidencyRL: Reinforcement Learning in Simulated Clinical Environments

In medical education, physicians convert academic knowledge into clinical expertise through residency: years of training across thousands of encounters, with diverse sources of feedback and progressively greater autonomy. Much of clinical reasoning relies on the patient encounter, a dialogue in which a clinician elicit...

Who&When Pro: Can LLMs Really Attribute Failures in AI Agents?

Automated failure attribution uses LLMs to identify where and why agentic systems fail. As agents become more capable, their failures become subtler, making automated attribution increasingly important. We introduce Who&When Pro, a large-scale benchmark for automated failure attribution in agentic systems. Using a stri...

Agent Step Value: Auditing Evaluation-Channel Sensitivity in Black-Box Agent Traces

Reusing evaluator-derived step rewards across evaluation channels raises a measurement question: does the assigned direction remain stable? We define Agent Step Value (ASV) as a channel-indexed before/after target-margin gain and identify the state-by-channel interaction from a matched 2x2 design. Across frozen PubMed...

TelcoAgent: A Scalable 5G Multi-KPM Forecasting With 3GPP-Grounded Explainability

Key Performance Measurement (KPM) forecasting is essential for proactive network management of 5G and next-generation telecom networks. However, existing machine learning (ML) approaches face significant limitations in scalability and explainability, restricting their effectiveness in real-world deployments. We propose...

Experience Makes Skillful: Enabling Generalizable Medical Agent Reasoning via Self-Evolving Skill Memory

Medical agent systems are increasingly expected to support interactive clinical decision making rather than only static question answering. In such settings, effective agents must reuse prior experience across evolving cases, yet existing memory mechanisms often retain raw historical traces that are redundant, noisy, a...

Do More Agents Help? Evaluating Accuracy and Cost in LLM Multi-Agent Workflows

Choosing whether to replace a single-agent controller requires evidence on both task performance and inference expenditure. We present BenchAgent, a shared evaluation framework, and compare six multi-agent workflow configurations against its single-agent reference, BenchAgent Core, across ten reasoning, coding, and too...

Agents' Last Exam

Recent AI systems have achieved strong results on a wide range of benchmarks, yet these gains have not translated into economically meaningful deployment across many professional domains. We argue that this gap is largely an evaluation problem: widely used benchmarks lack sustained performance measurement on real and e...

The Saturation Trap and the Subjectivity of Intervention Timing: Why Affect-Based Triggers and LLM Judges Fail to Time Interventions on Autonomous Agents

As autonomous AI agents move from conversational systems to long-horizon software execution, runtime safety layers that decide when to interrupt an agent have become essential. We study this timing problem using a continuous 18-dimensional affective-dynamics engine (HEART) as a diagnostic probe, evaluating four interve...

EvoDrive: Pareto Evolution for Safety-Critical Autonomous Driving via Self-Improving LLM Agents

Generating safety-critical scenarios is essential for validating and improving autonomous driving systems, yet it inherently requires maximizing adversariality to expose failures while preserving realism. Existing methods usually manage this trade-off with handcrafted heuristics, confining generation to known priors an...

Latent Reward Steering: An Adaptive Inference-Time Framework that Implicitly Promotes Cognitive Behaviors in Reasoning LLMs

Strong reasoning depends not only on model knowledge but also on how effectively cognitive behaviors are deployed during generation. Existing methods often rely on explicit behavior-level control, making them insufficiently adaptive when failures and required corrections vary across reasoning states, tasks, and models....
