Prefix Executability: Evaluating Tool-Using Agents Beyond Final Success

Amir H. Rezaeian, Weiyi Sun, Yassine Benajiba +1

Tool-use benchmarks often score agents by final task success, but terminal outcomes can obscure whether the intermediate tool-call trajectory was executable. We propose prefix exec…

Ask Less, Ask Better: Allocating User Attention in Proactive LLM Agents with Interruption Budgets

Xuanming Zhang, Amir H. Rezaeian, Miguel Ballesteros +6

LLM agents can ask clarifying questions to complete tasks, but answering each question demands users' time and effort. Existing evaluations typically measure this burden by countin…

MT-OSC: Path for LLMs that Get Lost in Multi-Turn Conversation

Jyotika Singh, Fang Tu, Miguel Ballesteros +6

Large language models (LLMs) suffer significant performance degradation when user instructions and context are distributed over multiple conversational turns, yet multi-turn (MT) i…

GSM-SEM: Benchmark and Framework for Generating Semantically Variant Augmentations

Jyotika Singh, Fang Tu, Aziza Mirsaidova +11

Benchmarks like GSM8K are popular measures of mathematical reasoning, but leaderboard gains can overstate true capability due to memorization of fixed test sets. Most robustness va…

JTPRO: A Joint Tool-Prompt Reflective Optimization Framework for Language Agents

Sandip Ghoshal, Anshul Mittal, Jyotika Singh +9

Large language model (LLM) agents augmented with external tools often struggle as number of tools grow large and become domain-specific. In such settings, ambiguous tool descriptio…

DiffuMask: Diffusion Language Model for Token-level Prompt Pruning

Caleb Zheng, Jyotika Singh, Fang Tu +6

In-Context Learning and Chain-of-Thought prompting improve reasoning in large language models (LLMs). These typically come at the cost of longer, more expensive prompts that may co…

Rethinking LLM Uncertainty: A Multi-Agent Approach to Estimating Black-Box Model Uncertainty

Yu Feng, Phu Mon Htut, Zheng Qi +7

Quantifying uncertainty in black-box LLMs is vital for reliable responses and scalable oversight. Existing methods, which gauge a model's uncertainty through evaluating self-consis…

From Instructions to Constraints: Language Model Alignment with Automatic Constraint Verification

Fei Wang, Chao Shang, Sarthak Jain +6

User alignment is crucial for adapting general-purpose language models (LMs) to downstream tasks, but human annotations are often not available for all types of instructions, espec…

DeAL: Decoding-time Alignment for Large Language Models

James Y. Huang, Sailik Sengupta, Daniele Bonadiman +6

Large Language Models (LLMs) are nowadays expected to generate content aligned with human preferences. Current work focuses on alignment at model training time, through techniques…
