Evaluating LLMs as Agentic Workflow Executors in Real-World Customer Support Skills

Md Tahmid Rahman Laskar, Gundeep Singh, Xue-Yong Fu +11

Enterprise customer-support agents increasingly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to execute bounded, tool-using workflows. We study this problem through the lens of Skill LLMs:…

When Better Turns Do Not Make Better Agents: Diagnosing the Gap Between Next-Turn Metrics and Workflow Success

Md Tahmid Rahman Laskar, Xue-Yong Fu, Gundeep Singh +11

Agent models are frequently evaluated one decision at a time, where the model predicts the next action based on the gold interaction history, which is scored against a reference. W…

From Text to Voice: A Reproducible and Verifiable Framework for Evaluating Tool Calling LLM Agents

Md Tahmid Rahman Laskar, Xue-Yong Fu, Seyyed Saeed Sarfjoo +3

Voice agents increasingly require reliable tool use from speech, whereas prominent tool-calling benchmarks remain text-based. We study whether verified text benchmarks can be conve…

Style-agnostic evaluation of ASR using multiple reference transcripts

Quinten McNamara, Miguel Ángel del Río Fernández, Nishchal Bhandari +4

Word error rate (WER) as a metric has a variety of limitations that have plagued the field of speech recognition. Evaluation datasets suffer from varying style, formality, and inhe…
