FOCUS: Training-Free Decision-Preserving Context Compression for LLM Agents

Shantanu Dixit, Anson Bastos, Xuchao Zhang +2

LLM agents accumulate interaction histories that grow linearly with task length, causing quadratic inference cost scaling and performance degradation from attention dilution. Exist…

PSD: Pseudo Self-Distillation of Memory Representation Capabilities for LLM Agents

Pirzada Suhail, Menglin Xia, Xuchao Zhang +3

Memory systems are becoming a core component of LLM agents, but constructing and maintaining memory remains expensive because it relies on repeated calls to large proprietary langu…

When EOS Tokens Disagree: Understanding Length Inflation in On-Policy Distillation

Yuxiao Yang, Tianrun Yu, Shangzhe Li +6

We study length inflation in on-policy distillation (OPD), where student responses can become excessively long and even exhaust the generation budget. We identify \emph{termination…

A Resource-centric Analysis and Optimization of NoSQL Workloads using Distressed Resource Volume Metric

Gunika Verma, Aashutosh A, Pooja Srinivas +9

Large-scale managed cloud databases leverage sophisticated load Packing and Migration (PAM) algorithms, which provide the efficiencies necessary for running these services at scale…

AgentTether: Graph-Guided Diagnosis and Runtime Intervention for Reliable LLM Agent Operation

Chenyu Zhao, Shenglin Zhang, Wenwei Gu +5

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used for multi-step, stateful tool-use tasks, yet production reliability remains limited. Unlike static software repair, agent re…

Debugging the Debuggers: Failure-Anchored Structured Recovery for Software Engineering Agents

Chenyu Zhao, Shenglin Zhang, Yihang Lin +7

Software engineering agents are increasingly deployed in evaluable engineering environments, yet post-failure recovery remains costly, manual, and ad hoc. Existing systems expose t…

WebXSkill: Skill Learning for Autonomous Web Agents

Zhaoyang Wang, Qianhui Wu, Xuchao Zhang +12

Autonomous web agents powered by large language models (LLMs) remain brittle on long-horizon browser workflows. A key bottleneck is a grounding gap in existing skill formulations:…

AutoAdapt: An Automated Domain Adaptation Framework for LLMs

Sidharth Sinha, Anson Bastos, Xuchao Zhang +3

Large language models (LLMs) excel in open domains but struggle in specialized settings with limited data and evolving knowledge. Existing domain adaptation practices rely heavily…

Provable and Practical In-Context Policy Optimization for Self-Improvement

Tianrun Yu, Yuxiao Yang, Zhaoyang Wang +6

We study test-time scaling, where a model improves its answer through multi-round self-reflection at inference. We introduce In-Context Policy Optimization (ICPO), in which an agen…

AgentRx: Diagnosing AI Agent Failures from Execution Trajectories

Shraddha Barke, Arnav Goyal, Alind Khare +3

AI agents often fail in ways that are difficult to localize because executions are probabilistic, long-horizon, multi-agent, and mediated by noisy tool outputs. We address this gap…

Your Self-Play Algorithm is Secretly an Adversarial Imitator: Understanding LLM Self-Play through the Lens of Imitation Learning

Shangzhe Li, Xuchao Zhang, Chetan Bansal +1

Self-play post-training methods has emerged as an effective approach for finetuning large language models and turn the weak language model into strong language model without prefer…
