Beyond Naïve Prompting: Strategies for Improved Context-aided Forecasting with LLMs
Arjun Ashok, Andrew Robert Williams, Vincent Zhihao Zheng +5
Real-world forecasting requires models to integrate not only historical data but also relevant contextual information provided in textual form. While large language models (LLMs) s…
Grounding Computer Use Agents on Human Demonstrations
Aarash Feizi, Shravan Nayak, Xiangru Jian +14
Building reliable computer-use agents requires grounding: accurately connecting natural language instructions to the correct on-screen elements. While large datasets exist for web…
SKILL.nb: Selective Formalization and Gated Execution for Durable Agent Workflows
Amine El Hattami, Nicolas Chapados, Christopher Pal
AI agents increasingly turn past experience into reusable artifacts such as code, workflows, and procedural memories. Reuse can improve efficiency, but it also creates a lifecycle…
LLM2Vec-Gen: Generative Embeddings from Large Language Models
Parishad BehnamGhader, Vaibhav Adlakha, Fabian David Schmidt +3
Fine-tuning LLM-based text embedders via contrastive learning maps inputs and outputs into a new representational space, discarding the LLM's output semantics. We propose LLM2Vec-G…
DRBench: A Realistic Benchmark for Enterprise Deep Research
Amirhossein Abaskohi, Tianyi Chen, Miguel Muñoz-Mármol +11
We introduce DRBench, a benchmark for evaluating AI agents on complex, open-ended deep research tasks in enterprise settings. Unlike prior benchmarks that focus on simple questions…
AlignVLM: Bridging Vision and Language Latent Spaces for Multimodal Document Understanding
Ahmed Masry, Juan A. Rodriguez, Tianyu Zhang +19
Aligning visual features with language embeddings is a key challenge in vision-language models (VLMs). The performance of such models hinges on having a good connector that maps vi…
