MemLeak: Cross-User Semantic Leakage in Multi-Tenant AI Agent Memory

Priyanka Mudgal, Kai Zhao, Guilin Zhang +4

Personal AI agents in enterprise multi-tenant deployments share a common vector store for long-term memory. Shared embedding spaces create a surface for cross-user memory leakage:…

Does the Readout Bypass Leak the Input? A Feature-Visibility Audit of Hybrid Quantum-Classical Models

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Xiquan Cui +3

Readout-side residual hybrids concatenate raw inputs with measured quantum features. Under single-example gradient sharing, a biased first linear layer admits standard analytic rec…

When Error Mitigation Makes Things Worse: Budget-Aware Evaluation, Extrapolation Failure, and the Calibration Trust Boundary

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Xiquan Cui +3

Error mitigation is expected to turn noisy quantum measurements into more useful estimates. We show that it can instead amplify error. Under control-offset miscalibration, the eval…

Report: Progressive Disclosure of Agent Skills

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Priyanka Mudgal +4

Users of Workday's deployed LLM-based agents often request features which can be addressed by defining named procedures, also known as skills, in the LLM context, effectively augme…

Deployment-Time Memorization in Foundation-Model Agents

Lei, Chen, Guilin Zhang +8

Foundation-model agents are increasingly long-lived systems that remember users across interactions, making memorization an explicit deployment-time function rather than solely a p…

EvalStop: Using World Feedback to Detect and Correct Reward Overoptimization in Multi-Tenant RLHF Platforms

Guilin Zhang, Chuanyi Sun, Kai Zhao +3

Cloud LLM fine-tuning platforms increasingly serve RLHF workloads, where a learned reward model is optimized as a proxy for human quality. As Gao et al. (2023) showed, this proxy d…

Robust Explanations for User Trust in Enterprise NLP Systems

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Jeffrey Friedman +3

Robust explanations are increasingly required for user trust in enterprise NLP, yet pre-deployment validation is difficult in the common case of black-box deployment (API-only acce…

Adaptive Memory Admission Control for LLM Agents

Guilin Zhang, Wei Jiang, Xiejiashan Wang +5

LLM-based agents increasingly rely on long-term memory to support multi-session reasoning and interaction, yet current systems provide little control over what information is retai…

LLMs as Orchestrators: Constraint-Compliant Multi-Agent Optimization for Recommendation Systems

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Jeffrey Friedman +1

Recommendation systems must optimize multiple objectives while satisfying hard business constraints such as fairness and coverage. For example, an e-commerce platform may require e…

RobustExplain: Evaluating Robustness of LLM-Based Explanation Agents for Recommendation

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao, Jeffrey Friedman +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate natural-language explanations in recommender systems, acting as explanation agents that reason over user behavior his…
