Winning by Peeking: Unenforced Budgets and Test-Set Selection Inflate Short-Budget AutoML Comparisons

Guilin Zhang, Kai Zhao

Comparisons between AutoML systems at short time budgets -- tens of seconds rather than hours -- are common in tool READMEs and workshop papers, and they are easy to get wrong. We…

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…

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…
