Back Up Before You Regret: Measuring Backup Awareness and Automating Backup in Coding Agents

Xu Li, Simon Yu, Minzhou Pan +4

Coding agents now complete tasks autonomously, modifying real-world state such as artifacts, software environments, and configurations along the way. Yet they show limited backup a…

AutoEnvScaling: Automating the Data Flywheel with Terminal Agents

Simon Yu, Baolin Peng, Bo Liu +8

Terminal agents solve tasks in software engineering and scientific research by executing commands in a terminal. Training them via reinforcement learning (RL) requires diverse and…

Unsafer in Many Turns: Benchmarking and Defending Multi-Turn Safety Risks in Tool-Using Agents

Xu Li, Simon Yu, Minzhou Pan +5

LLM-based agents are becoming increasingly capable, yet their safety lags behind. This creates a gap between what agents can do and should do. This gap widens as agents engage in m…

PolySkill: Learning Generalizable Skills Through Polymorphic Abstraction

Simon Yu, Gang Li, Weiyan Shi +1

Large language models (LLMs) are moving beyond static uses and are now powering agents that learn continually during their interaction with external environments. For example, agen…

Is It Good Data for Multilingual Instruction Tuning or Just Bad Multilingual Evaluation for Large Language Models?

Pinzhen Chen, Simon Yu, Zhicheng Guo +1

Multilingual large language models are designed, claimed, and expected to cater to speakers of varied languages. We hypothesise that the current practices of fine-tuning and evalua…
