SkillNEO: Non-Elitist Evolutionary Optimization of Agent Skills
Enze Ma, Chunyu Miao, Yankai Chen +14
Agent skills turn procedural knowledge into reusable artifacts, allowing LLM agents to accumulate and refine expertise through experience. Building on this, skill evolution iterati…
Seeing, Maintaining, and Learning: The Evolution of Multimodal Agent Memory
Minghao Guo, Qingyue Jiao, Xiujin Liu +77
Multimodal models and agents have emerged to enable AI systems to learn from and interact with the real world more like humans by integrating information across multiple modalities…
EAVer: Long-Form Factuality Verification as an End-to-End Agentic Policy
Kening Zheng, Aoying Zheng, Zhigang Chang +21
Long-form factuality verification is commonly implemented as a static decompose-search-verify pipeline, with separately prompted modules processing claims and invoking external sea…
Not All Agreement Counts as Corroboration: Provenance-Conserving Multi-View Fusion for Typed Action Admission in Human-Robot Collaboration
Zekai Jin, Hanrong Zhang, Yihong Tang +3
Better probability scores do not establish that evidence has been counted correctly. Repeated inference over one observation can improve predictions without adding an evidential or…
Dr. Claw: An AI Scientist Workspace for Vibe Research
Dingjie Song, Hanrong Zhang, Dawei Liu +10
Command-line coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini CLI) can already read and write files and sustain long sessions, yet end-to-end research still fragments across chat tools, ID…
AutoCRAT: Within-trajectory Joint Control of Stochasticity and Compute for LLM Reasoning
Hanjun Luo, Qiushi Liu, Jingya Zhang +8
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong reasoning performance, which depends critically on inference-time decisions. Yet these decisions are commonly handled by static, one-siz…
Harness the Memory: A Holistic Evaluation of Memory Substrates in Memory Agents
Wei-Chieh Huang, Weizhi Zhang, Yuchen Wu +12
Memory is becoming core infrastructure for long-horizon LLM agents, yet existing evaluations offer limited guidance on which memory substrate, namely the underlying medium in which…
Perceive-to-Reason: Decoupling Perception and Reasoning for Fine-Grained Visual Reasoning
Hongxing Li, Xiufeng Huang, Dingming Li +11
Fine-grained visual reasoning remains challenging for vision-language models, especially when small but critical visual cues are buried in high-resolution images. Existing approach…
Distributionally Robust Set Representation Learning Under Inference-Time Element Corruption
Yankai Chen, Hanrong Zhang, Bowei He +2
Standard Set Representation Learning methods typically excel on curated data but often overlook the challenge of inference-time element corruption. This refers to scenarios where d…
OpenSkill: Open-World Self-Evolution for LLM Agents
Zhiling Yan, Dingjie Song, Hanrong Zhang +8
Self-evolving agents requires adaptation after deployment, but existing approaches assume a usable learning loop, such as curated skills, successful trajectories, or verifier signa…
A Deployment Audit of Release-Side Risk in Conformal Triage under Prevalence Shift
Chengze Li, Xiao Liu, Hanrong Zhang +7
Conformal triage converts predictive scores into deployment actions that either release a case, flag it for urgent attention, or defer it to human review. Under an observed change…
Unveiling Language Routing Isolation in Multilingual MoE Models for Interpretable Subnetwork Adaptation
Kening Zheng, Wei-Chieh Huang, Jiahao Huo +9
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models exhibit striking performance disparities across languages, yet the internal mechanisms driving these gaps remain poorly understood. In this work, we…
CoEvoSkills: Self-Evolving Agent Skills via Co-Evolutionary Verification
Hanrong Zhang, Shicheng Fan, Henry Peng Zou +11
Anthropic proposes the concept of skills for LLM agents to tackle multi-step professional tasks that simple tool invocations cannot address. A tool is a single, self-contained func…
A Survey of Agent Memory in the Second Half: Towards Self-Evolving and Long-Horizon Agents
Wei-Chieh Huang, Weizhi Zhang, Yueqing Liang +56
Research in artificial intelligence is shifting from model innovations and benchmark scores towards problem definition and rigorous real-world evaluation. As the field enters the "…
