BOUNDARY_SYNC: Measuring Communication-Induced Representational Coupling in Multi-Agent LLM Systems
Zewen Liu
As large language models (LLMs) are deployed as communicating agents, does inter-agent communication cause outputs to converge? We introduce BOUNDARY_SYNC, a protocol measuring rep…
Mapping the Evaluation Frontier: An Empirical Survey of the Bias-Reliability Tradeoff Across Eleven Evaluator-Agent Conditions
Zewen Liu
The bias-reliability tradeoff conjectures that LLM evaluation systems are constrained in (gamma, H, CV) space, where evaluator coupling (gamma), strategy diversity (H), and small-s…
EPC: A Standardized Protocol for Measuring Evaluator Preference Dynamics in LLM Agent Systems
Zewen Liu
When LLM agents use evaluator feedback to adapt their behavior in closed loops, evaluator biases propagate through the agent's strategy distribution -- a phenomenon known as evalua…
Calibrating the Evaluator: Does Probability Calibration Mitigate Preference Coupling in LLM Agent Feedback Loops?
Zewen Liu
When large language model (LLM) agents adapt their behavior through evaluator feedback, systematic evaluator biases propagate into the agent's learned strategy distribution - a phe…
The Hidden Cost of Resampling: How Imbalance Correction Degrades Probability Calibration in Tree Ensembles
Zewen Liu
Resampling methods such as SMOTE and random under/over-sampling are standard tools for class-imbalanced classification, almost always evaluated by minority-class accuracy or F1. Pr…
A Diagnostic Framework and Multi-Evaluator Audit of Evaluator-Driven Preference Dynamics in Self-Adapting LLM Agents
Liu Zewen
Measurements of proprietary LLM evaluators can become invalid within weeks -- we document one case and provide the diagnostic framework to detect it. We introduce EPC -- comprising…
The Contagion Tensor: A Framework for Measuring Output-Distribution Coupling in Multi-Agent LLM Systems -- and Auditing the Claims It Enables
Zewen Liu
We introduce the Contagion Tensor, a measurement framework for quantifying how large language model (LLM) output distributions couple across modalities, agents, and time steps. Fro…
Contagion Networks: Evaluator Preference Propagation in Multi-Agent LLM Systems
Zewen Liu
When large language models serve as evaluators in multi-agent systems, their strategy preferences -- whether induced by explicit prompts or by shared architectural priors -- propag…
TMP: Tree-structured Mixed-policy Pruning for Large-scale Image Generation and Editing
Peizhen Zhang, Yang Li, Xunsong Li +10
Modern image generation model rapidly grows their sizes to meet high-fidelity image synthesis. However, they gradually become unaffordable for their enormous parameter consumption…
Memory Contagion: Cross-Temporal Propagation of Evaluator Bias via Agent Memory
Zewen Liu
Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on memory systems to maintain long-term coherence. Recent work shows that agent memories degrade during continuous consolidation…
Adaptive Auto-Harness: Sustained Self-Improvement for Agentic System Deployment on Open-Ended Task Streams
Zewen Liu, Zhan Shi, Yisi Sang +7
Auto-harness systems such as A-Evolve, GEPA, and Meta-Harness improve LLM agents by optimizing prompts, skills, tools, memories, and supporting infrastructure from execution feedba…
Exposing Vulnerabilities in Explanation for Time Series Classifiers via Dual-Target Attacks
Bohan Wang, Zewen Liu, Lu Lin +4
Interpretable time series deep learning systems are often assessed by checking temporal consistency on explanations, implicitly treating this as evidence of robustness. We show tha…
EpiQAL: Benchmarking Large Language Models in Epidemiological Question Answering and Reasoning
Mingyang Wei, Dehai Min, Zewen Liu +8
Reliable epidemiological reasoning requires synthesizing study evidence to infer disease burden, transmission dynamics, and intervention effects at the population level. Existing m…
