One Readout, Many Repairs: Diffusion-Guided Hierarchical Search for Tool-Agent Repair

Tool agents use large language models to act through external tools, yet successfully executed calls can still leave user requests unfulfilled. Tool-agent repair seeks alternative call sequences that execute successfully and fulfill the original requests. However, repair requires exploring both operation choices and th...

BV Loss: Block Verification-Aware Loss for Block Diffusion Speculative Decoding

Block Verification-aware loss (BV loss), a training objective designed to maximize the expected acceptance length of a drafted sequence, outperforms tokenwise acceptance objectives such as TV loss and LK loss, and its gains extend to token verification and greedy decoding.

SeLMRoute: Probabilistic Semantic Evidence for Large Language Model Routing

SeLMRoute is introduced, a routing framework that separates the extraction of candidate-independent semantic evidence from the learning of candidate performance and the application of deployment objectives and achieves the highest mean performance among the evaluated semantic, dense, lexical, and domain-level represent...

After the Fix: Transfer of Corrected Agent Experience

This work transfers the same failed source before and after accepted repair to a fixed target, alongside independent execution, alongside independent execution in the ThinkingBox and APEX regimes to establish comparable aggregate correction benefits.

Knowing When Thinking Is Not Enough: Teaching Small Reasoning Models to Reason Beyond Their Parametric Knowledge

FlyBy is introduced, a selective querying framework, and 4B and 8B variants are trained to reason first, diagnose what remains unresolved, and, at a knowledge bottleneck, query stronger models whose parametric knowledge extends beyond its own.

ControlScope: Workflow Revision and Reliability in LLM Agents

ControlScope compares continuing generated code, editing the next tool call's data arguments, and replacing the unfinished workflow from the same public execution state to evaluate one-time and repeated reviews across filesystem tasks, ALFWorld, and AppWorld.

BIABench: Evaluating AI agents on real-world bioimage analysis tasks

Artificial-intelligence (AI) agents hold promise for automating bioimage analysis, yet no benchmark evaluates whether they can carry out real-world analyses end to end. Such analyses are hard for agents because 2D images, 3D volumes and time-lapse sequences are often too large to read as context, so an agent must choos...
