Position: Agent Should Invoke External Tools ONLY When Epistemically Necessary
Hongru Wang, Cheng Qian, Manling Li +6
As large language models evolve into tool-augmented agents, a central question remains unresolved: when is external tool use actually justified? Existing agent frameworks typically…
Adaptation of Agentic AI: A Survey of Post-Training, Memory, and Skills
Pengcheng Jiang, Jiacheng Lin, Zhiyi Shi +31
Large language model (LLM) agents are moving beyond prompting alone. ChatGPT marked the rise of general-purpose LLM assistants, DeepSeek showed that on-policy reinforcement learnin…
ERA: Transforming VLMs into Embodied Agents via Embodied Prior Learning and Online Reinforcement Learning
Hanyang Chen, Mark Zhao, Rui Yang +15
Recent advances in embodied AI highlight the potential of vision language models (VLMs) as agents capable of perception, reasoning, and interaction in complex environments. However…
Why Does New Knowledge Create Messy Ripple Effects in LLMs?
Jiaxin Qin, Zixuan Zhang, Manling Li +2
Extensive previous research has focused on post-training knowledge editing (KE) for language models (LMs) to ensure that knowledge remains accurate and up-to-date. One desired prop…
Visually Descriptive Language Model for Vector Graphics Reasoning
Zhenhailong Wang, Joy Hsu, Xingyao Wang +4
Despite significant advancements, large multimodal models (LMMs) still struggle to bridge the gap between low-level visual perception -- focusing on shapes, sizes, and layouts -- a…
SyncMind: Measuring Agent Out-of-Sync Recovery in Collaborative Software Engineering
Xuehang Guo, Xingyao Wang, Yangyi Chen +4
Software engineering (SE) is increasingly collaborative, with developers working together on shared complex codebases. Effective collaboration in shared environments requires parti…
