Dont Stop Early: Scalable Enterprise Deep Research with Controlled Information Flow and Evidence-Aware Termination
Prafulla Kumar Choubey, Kung-Hsiang Huang, Pranav Narayanan Venkit +5
Enterprise deep research often fails to produce decision-ready reports due to uneven information coverage, context explosion, and premature stopping. We propose a scalable Enterpri…
The Illusion of Certainty: Decoupling Capability and Calibration in On-Policy Distillation
Jiaxin Zhang, Xiangyu Peng, Qinglin Chen +3
On-policy distillation (OPD) is an increasingly important paradigm for post-training language models. However, we identify a pervasive Scaling Law of Miscalibration: while OPD effe…
MTA-Agent: An Open Recipe for Multimodal Deep Search Agents
Xiangyu Peng, Can Qin, An Yan +4
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in visual understanding, yet they remain limited in complex, multi-step reasoning that requires deep…
Agentic Confidence Calibration
Jiaxin Zhang, Caiming Xiong, Chien-Sheng Wu
AI agents are rapidly advancing from passive language models to autonomous systems executing complex, multi-step tasks. Yet their overconfidence in failure remains a fundamental ba…
Agentic Uncertainty Quantification
Jiaxin Zhang, Prafulla Kumar Choubey, Kung-Hsiang Huang +2
Although AI agents have demonstrated impressive capabilities in long-horizon reasoning, their reliability is severely hampered by the ``Spiral of Hallucination,'' where early epist…
From Passive Metric to Active Signal: The Evolving Role of Uncertainty Quantification in Large Language Models
Jiaxin Zhang, Wendi Cui, Zhuohang Li +4
While Large Language Models (LLMs) show remarkable capabilities, their unreliability remains a critical barrier to deployment in high-stakes domains. This survey charts a functiona…
