Towards Reliable Long-Context Reasoning: Detecting Unanswerable Questions via FactGuard

Despite the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) in long-context tasks, their reliability in recognizing unanswerable questions remains a critical challenge. In information-seeking scenarios, models often suffer from overconfidence and hallucinations when evidence is missing or misleading. In this paper, we propose...

LLMR: Knowledge Distillation with a Large Language Model-Induced Reward

Large language models have become increasingly popular and demonstrated remarkable performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, these models are typically computationally expensive and difficult to be deployed in resource-constrained environments. In this paper, we propose LLMR, a novel know...

Multi-Agent Transactive Memory

Decentralized deployment of LLM agents with diverse capabilities motivates infrastructure for knowledge sharing across heterogeneous agent populations. Just as search engines index human-generated artifacts for human problem solving, retrieval systems can organize agent-generated artifacts for reuse across agents, exte...

PREPING: Zero-Task Agent Memory Construction via Self-Practice

Agent memory is typically constructed either offline from curated demonstrations or online from post-deployment interactions. However, regardless of how it is built, an agent faces a cold-start gap when first introduced to a new environment without any task-specific experience available. In this paper, we study pre-tas...

Towards Better Aligned LLM Judges for Radiology Report Evaluation across Modalities and Anatomies

Current work on radiology report evaluation has focused primarily on LLM-based metrics for chest X-rays (CXR), leaving open whether such approaches remain robust across other modalities and anatomies, and which model and prompt configurations are best suited to serve as LLM judges. We present a comprehensive evaluation...

Learning Self-Orchestration in Decentralized Agent Swarms

The capabilities of an agent swarm depend on both its individual members and how they coordinate. Yet existing multi-agent systems often train agents within fixed orchestration structures, separating the learning of individual capabilities from the organization of collective behavior. We introduce market-based post-tra...

Knowledge That Is Linear Before Fine-Tuning Generalizes After It

Not all facts a language model can recall support further learning equally well. We distinguish active facts, which support generalization beyond their own recall, from inert facts, which can be recalled but do not support such generalization in a given task. We study this distinction by constructing new relations from...

AI Consilium: a Benchmark of LLM Clinical Multidisciplinary Second Opinions

Large language models (LLMs) can generate differential diagnoses for complex cases, but a useful second opinion must also be factually grounded, clinically coherent, actionable, and safe. We developed a multidimensional benchmark using 300 diagnostically resolved NEJM--MedQA cases: 110 for physician reference ratings a...

Librarian Agents: Training LLMs to Curate Long-Context Workspaces that Anticipate Future Queries

Reasoning over long document contexts remains a challenge for large language models (LLMs). Standard retrieval methods are inherently reactive, bottlenecking agents with complex, cross-document reasoning at inference time, while precomputed structures like knowledge graphs often fall short because they rely on rigid he...

Language Is a Security Surface for Agent Guards

This work builds LinguaGuardBench from the 1,220 labelled steps of TS-Bench AgentDojo-Traj, translating only the user instruction into German, French, Turkish, Swahili and Amharic, and keeps every tool call, observation and label byte-identical, so any change in a verdict is attributable to language alone.

Training-Free On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation consolidates specialist models into one student at the price of rollouts, teacher passes and gradient steps for every teacher. We show that the consolidation does not need training: with forward passes only, the capabilities of separately tuned specialists can be aggregated into one model that is...
