Scaled Companion Linearizations for Coefficientwise Backward Stability

Javier Pérez

A central goal in solving a polynomial eigenvalue problem is to compute eigenpairs that are exact for a nearby polynomial, with each coefficient perturbation bounded by a modest mu…

EvoHarnessBench: Can Your Agents Keep Pace with an Evolving Harness?

Zixuan Ke, Vaidehi Patil, Haizhou Shi +9

Modern LLM-based agents operate through a harness of tools, reusable skills, and specialist agents that shapes what they observe and what they can do. In practice, this harness con…

Counterparty Modeling is Not Strategy: The Limits of LLM Negotiators

Romain Cosentino, Sarath Shekkizhar, Adam Earle +1

Negotiation requires more than inferring what the other side wants: it requires using that information to make advantageous offers and counteroffers over multiple turns. We study w…

Beyond the Assistant Turn: User Turn Generation as a Probe of Interaction Awareness in Language Models

Sarath Shekkizhar, Romain Cosentino, Adam Earle

Standard LLM benchmarks evaluate the assistant turn: the model generates a response to an input, a verifier scores correctness, and the analysis ends. This paradigm leaves unmeasur…

Interaction Theater: A case of LLM Agents Interacting at Scale

Sarath Shekkizhar, Adam Earle

As multi-agent architectures and agent-to-agent protocols proliferate, a fundamental question arises: what actually happens when autonomous LLM agents interact at scale? We study t…

Echoing: Identity Failures when LLM Agents Talk to Each Other

Sarath Shekkizhar, Romain Cosentino, Adam Earle +1

As large language model (LLM) based agents interact autonomously with one another, a new class of failures emerges that cannot be predicted from single agent performance: behaviora…

Convergence dynamics of Agent-to-Agent Interactions with Misaligned objectives

Romain Cosentino, Sarath Shekkizhar, Adam Earle

We develop and analyze a theoretical framework for agent-to-agent interactions in a simplified in-context linear regression setting. In our model, each agent is instantiated as a s…

AGI Is Coming... Right After AI Learns to Play Wordle

Sarath Shekkizhar, Romain Cosentino

This paper investigates multimodal agents, in particular, OpenAI's Computer-User Agent (CUA), trained to control and complete tasks through a standard computer interface, similar t…

Out-of-Distribution Detection through Soft Clustering with Non-Negative Kernel Regression

Aryan Gulati, Xingjian Dong, Carlos Hurtado +3

As language models become more general purpose, increased attention needs to be paid to detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) instances, i.e., those not belonging to any of the distr…

Reasoning in Large Language Models: A Geometric Perspective

Romain Cosentino, Sarath Shekkizhar

The advancement of large language models (LLMs) for real-world applications hinges critically on enhancing their reasoning capabilities. In this work, we explore the reasoning abil…

Characterizing Large Language Model Geometry Helps Solve Toxicity Detection and Generation

Randall Balestriero, Romain Cosentino, Sarath Shekkizhar

Large Language Models (LLMs) drive current AI breakthroughs despite very little being known about their internal representations. In this work, we propose to shed the light on LLMs…

The Geometry of Self-supervised Learning Models and its Impact on Transfer Learning

Romain Cosentino, Sarath Shekkizhar, Mahdi Soltanolkotabi +2

Self-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a desirable paradigm in computer vision due to the inability of supervised models to learn representations that can generalize in doma…

Channel redundancy and overlap in convolutional neural networks with channel-wise NNK graphs

David Bonet, Antonio Ortega, Javier Ruiz-Hidalgo +1

Feature spaces in the deep layers of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are often very high-dimensional and difficult to interpret. However, convolutional layers consist of multi…
