Abstract

Learned orchestration can automatically construct effective language-model multi-agent systems, but existing approaches couple planning to fixed worker pools and train decomposition and collaboration from the same terminal outcome, limiting transfer and obscuring credit assignment. We introduce DeOrch, which separates worker-agnostic planning from concrete worker selection. Its two-stage planner first decomposes the task without worker information, then chooses collaboration operations using compact, worker-identity-free matchability feedback from the pool, enabling conditional credit assignment to decomposition and collaboration decisions. A lightweight matcher estimates worker suitability from behavior on a fixed probe set and adapts online with a contextual bandit, allowing new workers to be incorporated without retraining the planner or matcher. Across diverse in- and out-of-distribution tasks, DeOrch outperforms prior automatic MAS orchestration methods with fewer worker calls than competing learned orchestrators, remains effective when transferred to an entirely unseen worker pool without retraining, and shows consistent gains from both components.

Gender, Race, and Intersectional Bias in Resume Screening via Language Model Retrieval

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
