TACT: Mitigating Overthinking and Overacting in Coding Agents via Activation Steering
Yuan Sui, Yulin Chen, Yibo Li +6
When language model agents tackle complex software engineering tasks, they often degrade over long trajectories, which we define as *agent drift*. We focus on two recurring failure…
EvoClinician: A Self-Evolving Agent for Multi-Turn Medical Diagnosis via Test-Time Evolutionary Learning
Yufei He, Juncheng Liu, Zhiyuan Hu +9
Prevailing medical AI operates on an unrealistic ''one-shot'' model, diagnosing from a complete patient file. However, real-world diagnosis is an iterative inquiry where Clinicians…
GuardReasoner-VL: Safeguarding VLMs via Reinforced Reasoning
Yue Liu, Shengfang Zhai, Mingzhe Du +9
To enhance the safety of VLMs, this paper introduces a novel reasoning-based VLM guard model dubbed GuardReasoner-VL. The core idea is to incentivize the guard model to deliberativ…
Evaluating the Paperclip Maximizer: Are RL-Based Language Models More Likely to Pursue Instrumental Goals?
Yufei He, Yuexin Li, Jiaying Wu +3
As large language models (LLMs) continue to evolve, ensuring their alignment with human goals and values remains a pressing challenge. A key concern is \textit{instrumental converg…
