SkillSandbox: Skill Verification via Dynamic Scenario Synthesis

Self-evolving agents distill task-solving experience into skills for future reuse, but these skills can encode incorrect procedures or non-transferable knowledge. It is therefore critical to verify each skill's reusability: whether its guidance remains useful beyond the experience from which it was distilled. Such veri...

HGP:An on-device personalized agent memory via hybrid graph storage

LLM-based agents face challenges in personalized interactive tasks due to heterogeneous, multi-typed, and implicitly constrained long-term traces. Existing memory mechanisms struggle with accurate routing and retrieval, especially on-device where personalization is critical. Most methods use single-vector representatio...

Loud Failures, Quiet Failures: Fault Detection and Recovery in Tool-Using Language Model Agents

Tool-using agents are usually scored on whether they finish a task while the tools work. Deployments are less forgiving: services time out, endpoints disappear, parameter names change, and results come back well formed but wrong. Prior work has shown that language models over-trust tool outputs that fail silently; we a...

Learning to Accumulate Knowledge with Mutual Information

Large language model (LLM) agents can improve their performance by reusing knowledge distilled from past interactions. However, curating new experiences into a knowledge bank that becomes more useful as it grows remains challenging. Effective knowledge accumulation should limit redundant overlap among entries and ensur...

What the Sleeve Feels: Explainable Machine Learning for Textile Pressure-Based Postural Screening

Pressure-sensing smart textiles convert body-surface contact into a dense, image-like signal closely tied to posture and movement, making them a promising low-cost route to wearable posture screening. Realizing that promise, however, requires more than classification accuracy: a deployable system must generalize to wea...

From Expected Harmfulness to Likelihood: A Probabilistic Reformulation of Jailbreaking LLM Agents

When the harmfulness of an LLM agent's output can be quantified, a natural jailbreaking objective is to maximize expected harmfulness over admissible input modifications. An alternative approach constructs or selects harmful target outputs and modifies the input to increase their likelihood. We establish a precise conn...

Successive Training Stages and Large Language Model Persuasion: Effects of Misalignment, Supervised Fine-Tuning, and Preference Optimization

Large language models (LLMs) can be tuned to influence human attitudes, yet the respective contributions of successive post-training stages remain un-clear. This study examines how three successive training stages affect LLM persuasiveness: (1) misalignment through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on conspiracy data, (2) a...

AgentTime: Can Agents Estimate and Control Their Own Runtime?

An essential control of AI agents is their ability to manage runtime. This ability requires a sense of time-awareness, to predict and estimate wall-clock time and to control their own actions. Prior work has focused on time-awareness, but duration-following and control in native agent harnesses remain unexplored. We pr...

Where Can a Decision Model Diagnose HVAC Faults? Reasoning Demand, Physical Representation, and Robustness Under Shift

Artificial intelligence supports building operations in several forms, each with its own barrier. Expert rules must be tuned for every system, supervised models need labeled data that buildings rarely record, and language models return free text that requires human-in-the-loop checking, since their stated confidence is...

NL2Hull: A Natural Language-Driven Constrained Ship Design Decision Framework

Ship-form design combines smooth geometric representation, local shape editing, and constraints on the resulting hull. We present the Natural-Language-to-Hull Framework (NL2Hull Framework), which formulates ship-form editing as a typed discrete decision problem and connects language decisions to numerical geometry. Its...

Outperformance Inverse Optimization: Learning Objective Functions that Outperform Agent Decisions

Inverse optimization estimates the weights of an objective function that explain observed decisions as optimal solutions, and is used in a variety of fields. For mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), existing methods aim to reproduce the observations as optimal solutions, and thus learn compromise weights when the obs...

Think Before You Paint: Recursive Latent Reasoning for Diffusion Models

Diffusion models generate realistic images but often fail on visual reasoning tasks, such as filling in a Sudoku or drawing the path through a maze. When a discrete symbolic representation is available, recursive methods such as the Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) solve even hard instances of these puzzles. We ask how such...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
