Granularity-Adaptive Credit Assignment for Long-Horizon LLM Agent Reinforcement Learning

Taoran Liang, Yang Liu, Shang Luo +10

Long-horizon language-model agents trained with reinforcement learning oftenreceive sparse outcome rewards that do not reveal which decisions along a tra-jectory deserve credit. Ep…

Harness-agnostic detection and immunization of reward hacking in self-evolving language models

Rongxin Yang, Yang Liu, Shang Luo +10

Self-evolving language models improve by proposing candidate updates and keeping whatever raises a visible score. When that score is an imperfect proxy for the capability one actua…

Safety Does Not Compose: Non-Decaying Loop State for Autonomous LLM Agents

Chenhao Wu, Haoxuan Jia, Yang Liu +11

Large language model agents are increasingly deployed as autonomous loops. Starting from one human goal, such a system repeatedly discovers work, plans, executes tool calls, verifi…

Hindsight Memory-PRM: Supervising Memory Management with Auditable Hindsight Credit

Haoxuan Jia, Yang Liu, Yingguang Yang +14

Memory operations of long-horizon LLM agents are hard to supervise: an operation's value is unobservable when it is taken. But they are special -- they leave machine-readable evide…

DiffImaginE: Imagine to Verify Entity Types with Diffusion

Feng Zhang, Feiyu Han, Rongxin Yang +11

Multimodal named entity recognition (MNER) determines whether each candidate span and entity-type hypothesis is supported by joint textual and visual evidence. Existing imagine-and…

SAHG: Sector-Anisotropic Hyperbolic Graph Model for Social Bot Detection

Hanning Lu, Yingguang Yang, Jinwei Su +8

LLM-driven social bots can generate fluent, human-like text, reducing the discriminative advantage of content-based detection alone. However, coordinated campaigns still leave rela…

FinHarness: An Inline Lifecycle Safety Harness for Finance LLM Agents

Haoxuan Jia, Yang Liu, Bin Chong +10

Finance LLM agents must simultaneously block prompt-induced unauthorized actions and approve legitimate multi-step business workflows. However, boundary filters often miss irrevers…
