Self-Healing Harness for Runtime Oversight of Agent Self-Modification
Sina Tayebati, Divake Kumar, Nastaran Darabi +2
LLM agents can change their own future behavior, raising a basic control question of which self-generated changes should be allowed to persist. We formulate this as admission contr…
CURA: Certified Runtime Alarms for Computer-Use Agents
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +5
Self-report is the cheapest oversight channel a deployer has, and on capable computer-use agents (CUAs) it fails precisely where oversight matters. On 361 OSWorld tasks our pipelin…
Uncertainty Quantification for Computer-Use Agents: A Benchmark across Vision-Language Models and GUI Grounding Datasets
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +5
Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severi…
GroundControl: Anticipating Navigation Failures in Vision-Language Agents via Trajectory-Consistent Uncertainty Estimates
Nastaran Darabi, Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati +2
Vision-language navigation agents achieve competitive average success on benchmark tasks, yet failures often arise through predictable trajectory-level breakdowns such as oscillati…
VLM Judges Can Rank but Cannot Score: Task-Dependent Uncertainty in Multimodal Evaluation
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +2
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as automated judges for multimodal systems, yet their scores provide no indication of reliability. We study this problem through…
Belief Dynamics for Detecting Behavioral Shifts in Safe Collaborative Manipulation
Devashri Naik, Divake Kumar, Nastaran Darabi +1
Robots operating in shared workspaces must maintain safe coordination with other agents whose behavior may change during task execution. When a collaborating agent switches strateg…
TRIAGE: Type-Routed Interventions via Aleatoric-Epistemic Gated Estimation in Robotic Manipulation and Adaptive Perception -- Don't Treat All Uncertainty the Same
Divake Kumar, Sina Tayebati, Devashri Naik +4
Most uncertainty-aware robotic systems collapse prediction uncertainty into a single scalar score and use it to trigger uniform corrective responses. This aggregation obscures whet…
Uncertainty-Guided Inference-Time Depth Adaptation for Transformer-Based Visual Tracking
Patrick Poggi, Divake Kumar, Theja Tulabandhula +1
Transformer-based single-object trackers achieve state-of-the-art accuracy but rely on fixed-depth inference, executing the full encoder--decoder stack for every frame regardless o…
TRACER: Trajectory Risk Aggregation for Critical Episodes in Agentic Reasoning
Sina Tayebati, Divake Kumar, Nastaran Darabi +3
Estimating uncertainty for AI agents in real-world multi-turn tool-using interaction with humans is difficult because failures are often triggered by sparse critical episodes (e.g.…
