Memory enables language agents to carry useful distinctions from past experience into future decisions. Its value depends on which distinctions survive, whether a bounded agent can use them, and what can be recovered or revised as demands evolve. We develop a decision-theoretic framework that follows this value from ra...

This work investigates the potential of in-context learning (ICL) with large language models to advance continuous valence and arousal prediction and suggests that training-free ICL offers an effective inference-time strategy for current language models to predict continuous music emotion.
Policy enforcement for LLM agents has shifted from single-turn content moderation to compound, application-specific policies evaluated over multi-turn transcripts and tool-call trajectories. Fine-tuned guardrail models are efficient but degrade on compound policies, and while LLM-as-a-judge approaches achieve higher ac...
Personal agents need to draw on long-term interaction history to retrieve and apply external knowledge suited to a user's current request. Even an answer grounded in relevant documents can be unsuitable when it overlooks the user's circumstances. This creates two connected challenges: using historical conditions to ide...

Stated priorities track perceived attributes of AI responses but say little about the concrete features that ratings reward, a distinction that matters for preference elicitation and AI personalization.
Can a small change in wording move an AI model from refusing a sensitive request to acting on it? We test 15 models on the same request to increase the income shown on a pay stub. Across 445 observable trials, models issue editing calls in 14.1% of cases when a loan purpose is stated, 33.1% when the purpose is omitted,...

When a multilingual LLM agrees with a user's false premise, is it being sycophantic, or does it simply not know better in that language? Current research does not distinguish these cases: they record only whether the model agreed, not why. We introduce the SC-matrix, that crosses a model's competence (whether it answer...
Autoregressive encoder-decoder speech recognition models trained with teacher forcing can suffer from exposure bias, limiting their ability to recover from their own prediction errors at inference time. Recent work has shown that reinforcement learning with Group Relative Policy Optimisation (GRPO) improves speech reco...

LLM agents that act on live Web data must combine heterogeneous evidence, remember what they have done and improve from outcomes without weakening their own safeguards. We study this problem in autonomous investing, where every action is irreversible and based on untrusted Web content. We present Steward, a multi-agent...

Personal intelligence systems are taking on increasingly complex everyday tasks, yet repeated questions, unnecessary confirmations, and unwanted outreach can turn capable assistance into interaction burden. Reducing this burden requires agents to remember how users want to be assisted. However, existing memory benchmar...

Modern LLM agents can retrieve information from accessible documents, and then disclose a sensitive conclusion assembled from them. This mosaic effect creates a critical risk for agents operating over confidential data. We quantify its realization with 30 synthetic cybersecurity, medical, and military examples, yieldin...

Decision models return normalized probability distributions over candidate choices, which downstream applications can use to select among choices. Although their providers emphasize the reliability of these probabilities, calibration on tasks with a single correct choice does not establish their reliability when multip...
