LLM-based agents for automating the enhancement of user story quality: An early report

The use of large language models to automatically improve the user story quality in Austrian Post Group IT agile teams is explored, with a reference model for an Autonomous LLM-based Agent System developed and implemented at the company.

AI and Agile Software Development: From Frustration to Success - XP2025 Workshop Summary

The workshop culminated in the collaborative development of a research roadmap that pinpoints actionable directions for future work, including both immediate solutions and ambitious long-term goals.

Specializing LLMs with Custom Datasets: A Four-Round Open vs Closed Comparison

Engineering RAG Systems for Real-World Applications: Design, Development, and Evaluation

Five domain-specific RAG applications developed for real-world scenarios across governance, cybersecurity, agriculture, industrial research, and medical diagnostics are presented, highlighting technical, operational, and ethical challenges affecting the reliability and usability of RAG systems in practice.

LLM-based Multi-Agent System for Intelligent Refactoring of Haskell Code

Results highlight the ability of LLM-based multi-agent in managing refactoring tasks targeted toward functional programming paradigms and hint that LLM-based multi-agent systems integration into the refactoring of functional programming languages can enhance maintainability and support automated development workflows.

Anomaly detection in smart power grids with graph-regularized MS-SVDD: a multimodal subspace learning approach

A generalized Multimodal Subspace Support Vector Data Description model with graph-embedded regularization is proposed, illustrating how relational and structural information can be systematically embedded into one-class models, enabling robust learning under complex, high-dimensional, and multimodal conditions.

From Business Meetings to Requirement Artifacts: An Agentic AI Approach with MARARE

Preliminary results indicate performance differences across LLMs, suggesting that model choice influences coverage, consistency, and hallucination rates.

Bridging Humans and LLMs: Investigating Human-AI Collaboration in Multi-agent Requirements Analysis for Organizational AI Adoption

LLM-based multi-agent systems can support strategic AI planning by enabling iterative refinement with human experts by supporting structured and collaborative Requirements Engineering processes for AI adoption planning.

GRAS: Guided Reduced-Variance Proposals and Adaptive Selection for Training-Free Reward Alignment in Discrete Diffusion

GRAS is simple yet effective: across regulatory DNA and protein design it attains the best training-free reward, outperforming prior training-free methods and matching or surpassing a reward-fine-tuned model, and it remains effective even for non-differentiable rewards.

Secure AI Systems Protecting Machine Learning Models from Emerging Cyber Threats

Securing AI systems is not a task any single discipline can accomplish alone; it requires sustained collaboration between machine learning researchers, cybersecurity professionals, and policymakers if AI technologies are to remain reliable, trustworthy, and resilient in adversarial environments.

When Is the Sharp Covariance Envelope Tight? Feature-Only Geometry for Volume-Sampled Least Squares

Prior analyses by Derezinski and Warmuth established all-size sampling identities, selected-OLS unbiasedness, and inverse moments for ordinary volume sampling, while their exact arbitrary-fixed-response loss and prediction-covariance formulas are at the rank-size endpoint s=d. We establish a Loewner envelope for center...

Efficient Clustering with Provable Guardrails for LLM Inference at Scale

This work proposes a two-stage algorithm that generates initial clusters with Mini-batch K-Means, then greedily selects representatives within each initial cluster -- a step equivalent to the Johnson-Chvatal heuristic for Set Cover over alpha-balls in embedding space.
