Large language models (LLMs) can influence user trust and decision-making through subtle linguistic cues, yet the behavioral effects of manipulative outputs remain poorly quantified. We introduce a behavioral computing framework for measuring \textit{behavioral vulnerability}, defined as users'susceptibility to manipul...

Porous-material adsorption studies require coordinated structure preparation, force-field selection, simulation, validation, and interpretation, making end-to-end automation difficult. We test whether RaspAssistant, a hierarchical multi-agent framework, can carry an adsorption study from force-field preparation through...

The results show that task capability, additional reasoning, and consequence-oriented safety evaluation do not by themselves ensure authorization alignment, pointing to a tension between agent autonomy and preserving users'decision authority that calls for further human-centered study.

Agentic system design is increasingly shifting from hand-crafted prompts and workflows toward automated search over agentic programs and interaction structures, with multi-agent systems receiving growing attention. Yet a central question remains unresolved: when does an automatically generated multi-agent structure exh...

Code agents increasingly work on evolving real repositories, and memory systems aim to help them reuse earlier experience. However, such experience is diverse and evolving, so it remains unclear how memory systems organize it and thereby affect code agents. Existing benchmarks cannot answer this reliably because they l...

SelfDx is introduced, a paired benchmark for whether models have the appropriate response behavior, a form of epistemic independence, in health questions where misplaced agreement with the user's self-diagnosis could delay urgent or emergency care.

Fine-grained liquid identification requires a classifier to distinguish similar substances from compact millimeter-wave measurements. We investigate structured-token attention, which represents a radar feature tensor through complementary antenna, feature, branch, and global views. The proposed StructAttn model embeds...
In exploratory comparisons, sampling the single agent three times and flagging on any draw gives higher balanced accuracy than the team on those models, and the team's results depend on the instruction.
The growing use of autonomous artificial intelligence agents in digital commerce creates new security concerns involving agent impersonation, unauthorized payments, compromised agents, and misuse of delegated authority. This research introduces the Autonomous Commerce Agent Guard System (ACAGS), a cybersecurity framewo...
A state-bound runtime assurance layer that separates probabilistic measurement from deterministic adjudication, binds an execution allowance to the decision-relevant basis of an approval, invalidates that allowance after relevant logged changes, and rechecks admissibility at dispatch distinguishes the continued validit...

Agent platforms are starting to improve their own agents: they read a deployed agent's execution traces, derive a change, have an automated verifier approve it, and release it with no human author. How much of this loop can safely run without a human? We propose two quantities a platform can measure. Verifier strength...
On-policy distillation (OPD) can succeed with surprisingly few training questions, motivating a view of questions as carriers of distributional knowledge transfer. How can we assess whether a newly generated question is valuable for distillation, and learn to generate better questions---without access to its correct an...
