TRACE: Business Rule-Grounded Reasoning Curriculum for Knowledge-Preserving Parametric Tool Retrieval in Enterprise LLMs

Sai Shruthi Sistla, Ashutosh Hathidara, Christopher Toukmaji +2

Parametric retrieval enables LLMs to retrieve tools implicitly by assigning each API a unique virtual token and training the model to generate it via constrained beam search. Tools…

ToolSense: A Diagnostic Framework for Auditing Parametric Tool Knowledge in LLMs

Ashutosh Hathidara, Sai Shruthi Sistla, Sebastian Schreiber +1

Large language models deployed as agents over large tool catalogs face a critical tool-retrieval bottleneck. As embedding-based retrieval approaches rely on compact encoders that m…

CoHyDE: Iterative Co-Training of LLM Rewriter & Dense Encoder for Tool Retrieval

Vaishali Senthil, Ashutosh Hathidara, Sebastian Schreiber

Tool retrieval over large API catalogs is a core bottleneck for LLM agents: user queries arrive in colloquial, often underspecified language, while the catalog uses technical API v…

MirrorBench: A Benchmark to Evaluate Conversational User-Proxy Agents for Human-Likeness

Ashutosh Hathidara, Julien Yu, Vaishali Senthil +2

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as human simulators, both for evaluating conversational systems and for generating fine-tuning data. However, naive "act-as-a-use…

Disambiguation-Centric Finetuning Makes Enterprise Tool-Calling LLMs More Realistic and Less Risky

Ashutosh Hathidara, Julien Yu, Sebastian Schreiber

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly tasked with invoking enterprise APIs, yet they routinely falter when near-duplicate tools vie for the same user intent or when require…

Implementing An Artificial Quantum Perceptron

Ashutosh Hathidara, Lalit Pandey

A Perceptron is a fundamental building block of a neural network. The flexibility and scalability of perceptron make it ubiquitous in building intelligent systems. Studies have sho…
