Same Context, Different Agents: A Behavioral Study of Semantic Layers, Multi-Agent Orchestration and Memory Compaction in Data Agents
Zhivar Sourati, Marianne Menglin Liu, Zheng Wang +6
Answering questions over heterogeneous data means combining evidence from files, databases, documents and the web. Data agents automate this, but their success depends on context.…
PLSQLBench: Benchmarking LLM Systems for Executable Procedural Database Programming
Marianne Menglin Liu, Leonid Boytsov, Daniel W. Peterson +13
We present PLSQLBench, to our knowledge the first benchmark for evaluating whether LLMs can write executable PL/SQL programs, with correctness measured through execution-based test…
SOMA-SQL: Resolving Multi-Source Ambiguity in NL-to-SQL via Synthetic Log and Execution Probing
Sai Ashish Somayajula, Marianne Menglin Liu, Chuan Lei +9
Natural language interfaces to databases aim to translate user questions into executable SQL, yet remain brittle in real-world settings where questions are underspecified and schem…
Think Twice Before You Write -- an Entropy-based Decoding Strategy to Enhance LLM Reasoning
Jiashu He, Meizhu Liu, Olaitan P Olaleye +9
Decoding strategies play a central role in shaping the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs). Traditional methods such as greedy decoding and beam search often suffer f…
RAG Makes Guardrails Unsafe? Investigating Robustness of Guardrails under RAG-style Contexts
Yining She, Daniel W. Peterson, Marianne Menglin Liu +4
With the increasing adoption of large language models (LLMs), ensuring the safety of LLM systems has become a pressing concern. External LLM-based guardrail models have emerged as…
ToolScope: Enhancing LLM Agent Tool Use through Tool Merging and Context-Aware Filtering
Marianne Menglin Liu, Daniel Garcia, Fjona Parllaku +3
Large language model (LLM) agents rely on external tools to solve complex tasks, but real-world toolsets often contain redundant tools with overlapping names and descriptions, intr…
LAD-RAG: Layout-aware Dynamic RAG for Visually-Rich Document Understanding
Zhivar Sourati, Zheng Wang, Marianne Menglin Liu +8
Question answering over visually rich documents (VRDs) requires reasoning not only over isolated content but also over documents' structural organization and cross-page dependencie…
