Understanding and Reducing Misalignment in Persuasion Optimization

Frontier models are now trained for complex multi-agent tasks, from running a company to engaging in negotiations. These tasks necessitate training models to be persuasive. But what does this optimization pressure mean for model alignment? In this work, we study how reinforcement learning (RL) training for persuasion a...

Cross-Protocol Personality Assessment with LLMs: Aligning Behavioral Evidence with Human Ratings

The empirical experiments show that human-rated evidence from one protocol can support personality assessment under another without target-specific supervision or retraining, and the Cross-protocol Evidence-grounded Personality Assessment framework is proposed, which aligns behavioral representations across interview p...

Computational Reflective Equilibrium for Agentic AI: A Rawlsian Alignment Scaffold for Governance

The rapid deployment of agentic AI has introduced complex challenges for the ethics and governance of AI systems. Agents built on large language models act through tools on behalf of people, and each deployment case brings its own instructions, policies, evidence, and stakeholders, so alignment must be formed case by c...

Large language model-generated patterns for epidemiological modeling: a multi-benchmark evaluation framework

Representing individual-level behavioral heterogeneity is challenging in epidemiological modeling, particularly when empirical behavioral data are sparse. We assess the potential of large language model (LLM)-generated behavioral outputs in addressing this challenge, using hepatitis C virus-related behaviors among peop...

Handoff Curves: Initial Selection, Later Handoff, and Supervision Targets in Multi-turn LLM Routing

We study how initial model selection, later handoff, and training targets affect success and cost in LLM tasks that span multiple turns. We compare several router architectures using handoff curves, which record task success and cost as the handoff step changes. Our dataset contains 34,204 complete executions of three...

Revocation Is Not Complete at Receipt: An Executable Outcome Contract for Distributed Agent-Tool Gateways

Distributed agent workflows cache delegated authority at tool gateways. Revocation may be reported at issuer commit, transport acknowledgment, or receiver persistence, although none of these observations establishes that all gateways enforced the change or that guarded effects stopped. We define C0-C5, a bounded outcom...

PopGen: Generating Semantically Diverse Populations for Zero-Shot Coordination

In multi-agent reinforcement learning, exposing a cooperator to partners with diverse strategies during training is key to better collaboration at test time. However, existing methods typically rely on trajectory-level proxies to measure diversity, which may label two distinct trajectories of the same strategy as diver...

Small but Mighty: Test Suites as Improvement Signals for Self-Evolving Agents

A self-evolving agent rewrites its own harness and must decide which rewrites to keep, so its improvement signal is the check a rewrite has to pass. Verifying a rewrite by agent rollout is expensive and subjective, while executable checks such as the repository's own tests are too sparse to catch behavior-changing rewr...

ADAPT: Audio-Depth Action Planning with Transition-Aware Rewards for Lights-Out Industrial Navigation

Vision-language-action models for embodied navigation typically rely on RGB observations, limiting their applicability in lights-out industrial environments where visible illumination may be unavailable. We study illumination-independent navigation using spatial audio for target localization and depth for obstacle-awar...

Vision: "What Don't I Know About User's Preferences?" How Uncertainty Estimation Improves Proactive Assistant Alignment

Proactive Smart Assistants (PSAs) increasingly use general knowledge, learned patterns from group-level data, patterns from individual user's data, and recent sensor observations to anticipate which action a user may prefer. Existing systems typically select actions from predicted user preference likelihoods, but these...

The Anatomy of a Blind Spot: What an LLM Judge Must Be Shown, and How Much

Evaluation of text generated by large language models (LLMs) is increasingly delegated to LLMs acting as judges, yet what such a judge must be shown remains unresolved. We treat a judge whose reports are acted on as a regulator, in the sense of cybernetics, and ask what it must be shown, how much, in what form, and wha...

Multi-Horizon Explainable Queue Forecasting and Resource-Aware Decision Support for Intelligent Border Control Using LightGBM

Border crossing points are stochastic service systems in which traffic demand, traveler categories, registration status, inspection requirements, staffing, and lane availability interact on multiple time scales. This paper extends an earlier multimodal queue-management framework by introducing an implementation-oriente...
