Long-Horizon Agent Trajectory Attribution: A Unified Benchmark and Fine-Grained Annotation Framework

Jing Chen, Yang Sun, Li Zhang +2

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly operate through long-horizon trajectories involving user instructions, tool use, external observations, and memory. Existing benchmar…

Beyond Real Data: Synthetic Data through the Lens of Regularization

Amitis Shidani, Tyler Farghly, Yang Sun +2

Synthetic data can improve generalization when real data is scarce, but excessive reliance may introduce distributional mismatches that degrade performance. In this paper, we prese…

Discern Truth from Falsehood: Reducing Over-Refusal via Contrastive Refinement

Yuxiao Lu, Lin Xu, Yang Sun +2

Large language models (LLMs) aligned for safety often suffer from over-refusal, the tendency to reject seemingly toxic or benign prompts by misclassifying them as toxic. This behav…

AInsteinBench: Benchmarking Coding Agents on Scientific Repositories

Titouan Duston, Shuo Xin, Yang Sun +26

We introduce AInsteinBench, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating whether large language model (LLM) agents can operate as scientific computing development agents within real rese…

Causal-Guided Detoxify Backdoor Attack of Open-Weight LoRA Models

Linzhi Chen, Yang Sun, Hongru Wei +1

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as an efficient method for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and is widely adopted within the open-source community. However, the dece…
