Abstract:
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) improve performance by generating explicit intermediate reasoning traces through increased test-time compute, yet the assumption that longer reasoning is consistently beneficial remains under-examined. While recent evidence shows that additional reasoning can lead models to overthink, we ask: "Once a model has reached the correct answer, does further reasoning refine the solution, or deviate from it?" To study the dynamics after correctness, we introduce a prefix-level trajectory evaluation protocol grounded in reasoning sufficiency, defining the minimum reasoning budget required for a model to first generate the correct answer. This allows us to disentangle verbose overthinking, where additional reasoning is redundant but harmless, from harmful overthinking, where continued reasoning destabilizes an already-correct trajectory. Starting from multimodal benchmarks, we find that many instances considered reasoning-intensive require surprisingly little reasoning. Moreover, stopping at the first correct prefix improves accuracy over standard reasoning up to 21%, revealing that current models are limited not only by their ability to reason, but also by their inability to stop at the right time. Furthermore, while common efficiency strategies like early stopping substantially reduce verbose overthinking (up to 50%), they fail to mitigate harmful overthinking. Failure analysis reveals that correctness deviations are mainly driven by logical drift and visual reinterpretation. Finally, we show that our findings generalize to language-only reasoning benchmarks, highlighting harmful overthinking as a broader reliability risk.

Insights
Contribution: This paper introduces a framework to evaluate harmful overthinking in large reasoning models, revealing that stopping at the first correct answer improves accuracy and highlighting the reliability risks of continued reasoning.
Core Idea: The study distinguishes between harmless verbose overthinking and harmful overthinking, where further reasoning after correctness destabilizes solutions, and demonstrates that early stopping can significantly enhance performance.
Technique: A prefix-level trajectory evaluation protocol is proposed, grounded in reasoning sufficiency, to identify the minimum reasoning budget required for correctness and analyze deviations post-correctness.
Pipeline: Multimodal benchmarks → evaluate reasoning traces for sufficiency → classify overthinking types (verbose/harmful) → measure accuracy improvements and deviation causes.
Methodology: The authors analyze reasoning trajectories on multimodal benchmarks, define reasoning sufficiency thresholds, and assess the impact of stopping early versus continuing reasoning on accuracy and error types.
Results: Early stopping improves accuracy by up to 21% on benchmarks; harmful overthinking, driven by logical drift and visual reinterpretation, remains unmitigated by efficiency strategies like early stopping.
Limitations: Findings may be model- or task-specific; generalizability to non-multimodal or non-reasoning tasks requires further validation.

Abstract:
Benchmarks for autonomous agents measure whether agents complete tasks, yet this framing is systematically blind to whether an agent should have proceeded at all. Agents trained under human-feedback objectives develop a structural tendency to proceed even when they lack the inputs, evidence, or authorization to act safely, a disposition we term compliance bias, because both the reward signal and the benchmark scoring regime treat proceeding as the correct default regardless of whether the preconditions for safe action are present. We make three contributions. We first show that compliance bias originates in reward hacking within human-feedback pipelines and is entrenched by prominent agent benchmarks, which either penalize agents for pausing or are architecturally unable to distinguish a principled pause from a silent failure. We then introduce a three-gap taxonomy of abstention-warranted scenarios, covering specification gaps where required information is absent, verification gaps where world state cannot be confirmed, and authority gaps where explicit authorization has not been given, which together provide a principled basis for constructing abstention-aware agent benchmarks. Finally, we propose abstention evaluation protocols (Safety Rate, Usability Rate, and Informed Refusal Rate) and report preliminary results across 144 enterprise agent scenarios and five model families, in which a runtime-enforced abstention mechanism achieves up to 89.2% hazardous-action blocking and 87.5% usability on authorized scenarios, demonstrating that the safety--usability tradeoff is tunable rather than inherent and that its shape varies substantially across model families. We treat this as preliminary work and offer the taxonomy and composite metrics as a starting point for further conversations.
Insights
Contribution: Introduces a three-gap taxonomy for abstention-warranted scenarios and proposes evaluation protocols to measure abstention competence in autonomous agents, challenging the default assumption that proceeding is always correct.
Core Idea: Current benchmarks for autonomous agents ignore scenarios where abstention is safer or more ethical, leading to compliance bias where agents act without proper authorization, information, or verification.
Technique: A three-gap taxonomy (specification, verification, authority) and composite metrics (Safety Rate, Usability Rate, Informed Refusal Rate) to evaluate agents' ability to abstain from unsafe actions.
Pipeline: Enterprise agent scenarios → evaluation using abstention-aware protocols → quantitative metrics (e.g., 89.2% hazardous-action blocking, 87.5% usability).
Methodology: Analyzes compliance bias in human-feedback pipelines, develops a taxonomy of abstention-warranted cases, and tests runtime-enforced abstention mechanisms across 144 scenarios and five model families.
Results: Runtime-enforced abstention achieved 89.2% hazardous-action blocking and 87.5% usability on authorized scenarios, showing safety-usability tradeoffs are tunable and vary by model family.
Limitations: Preliminary results; limited to five model families and enterprise scenarios. Open questions about generalizability, long-term effects of abstention mechanisms, and broader benchmark integration.

Abstract:
LLMs have evolved from basic chatbots to the backbone of the AI ecosystem, now widely used in healthcare, schools, and government services. The domain-wide adoption of LLMs necessitates continuous evaluation to ensure their safety and fairness. Common issues encountered after deploying LLMs include inconsistent outputs and hallucinations of incorrect information. Although numerous LLM evaluation tools exist, most are limited to testing a single parameter at a time or require massive computational resources that are not accessible to most researchers. TriEval addresses these challenges by evaluating LLM outputs across multiple parameters, including bias, toxicity, and truthfulness together, while minimizing computing resources. The pipeline is compatible with both open- and closed-source models and runs on a standard laptop without a GPU cluster. TriEval has been tested on four models: Llama 3 8B, Mistral 7B, Gemma 2 9B, and Claude Haiku. The results show clear differences between open-source and closed-source models, especially in terms of toxicity and truthfulness. TriEval is being released as open source to enable broader access for researchers with limited computational resources.
Insights
Contribution: TriEval introduces a resource-efficient pipeline to simultaneously assess LLM outputs for bias, toxicity, and truthfulness, enabling accessible evaluation without requiring massive computational resources.
Core Idea: The pipeline combines multi-parameter evaluation of LLM outputs into a single, lightweight framework compatible with standard hardware and both open-source and closed-source models.
Technique: TriEval leverages existing evaluation tools and optimizes them for concurrent assessment of bias, toxicity, and truthfulness, minimizing computational overhead through streamlined processing.
Pipeline: LLM output text → parallel evaluation for bias, toxicity, and truthfulness → aggregated scores and qualitative analysis
Methodology: The framework was tested on four models (Llama 3 8B, Mistral 7B, Gemma 2 9B, Claude Haiku) to compare open-source and closed-source performance across the three metrics.
Results: Open-source models showed distinct patterns compared to closed-source models, particularly in toxicity and truthfulness scores, with clear quantitative differences observed.
Limitations: The evaluation scope is limited to three specific parameters, and results may vary with different model architectures or application domains not tested here.

Abstract:
Modeling patient trajectories from longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) requires reasoning over sparse, noisy, and long-context multimodal sequences. Existing LLM-based multi-agent systems address context length but process patients in isolation, failing to mirror how clinicians leverage accumulated experience from similar prior cases. We present Traj-Evolve, a self-evolving multi-agent system with two complementary evolving mechanisms. First, an Experience Pool (ExPool) acts as a non-parametric memory, indexing rejection-sampled reasoning traces to retrieve similar patients as few-shot contexts. Second, multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) via reward-ranked fine-tuning parametrically optimizes inter-agent and agent-memory collaboration. A leave-one-out cross-retrieval strategy unifies the two, aligning training- and inference-time behavior under retrieval augmentation. On a lung cancer prediction task utilizing up to five years of multimodal EHRs, Traj-Evolve outperforms 9 strong baselines on the overall population and a challenging never-smoker population. Analysis of the evolving dynamics highlights three key findings: (1) expanding the ExPool shifts optimal retrieval from diverse to specific samples; (2) under MARL, the manager agent's prediction loss converges quickly while the worker agents' temporal reasoning continues to benefit from more verified patients; and (3) the two mechanisms are complementary on the predicted risk, where ExPool improves specificity while MARL improves sensitivity.
Insights
Contribution: Traj-Evolve introduces a self-evolving multi-agent system that enhances patient trajectory modeling in lung cancer detection by integrating non-parametric memory and multi-agent reinforcement learning.
Core Idea: The system combines an Experience Pool for context retrieval with MARL to optimize agent-memory collaboration, enabling dynamic adaptation to longitudinal EHR data.
Technique: ExPool stores rejection-sampled reasoning traces for few-shot retrieval, while MARL with reward-ranked fine-tuning optimizes inter-agent and agent-memory interactions.
Pipeline: Multimodal EHR data → ExPool retrieves similar cases and MARL agents refine predictions → Lung cancer risk scores with improved specificity and sensitivity.
Methodology: A leave-one-out cross-retrieval strategy aligns training and inference, leveraging ExPool for context and MARL for parametric optimization of agent collaboration.
Results: Outperformed 9 baselines on overall and never-smoker populations; ExPool improved specificity, MARL enhanced sensitivity, and combined mechanisms optimized risk prediction.
Limitations: Depends on large, high-quality EHR datasets; computational complexity from MARL and ExPool scaling may limit real-time applicability.

Abstract:
AI-Driven Research Systems (ADRS) -- systems coupling LLMs with automated evaluation to discover algorithms, proofs, and designs -- are being optimized and adopted across domains, but the tools to analyze them have not kept pace. ADRS performance depends on component interactions that are poorly understood, expensive to explore, and (as we show) not well captured by standard convergence guarantees. These guarantees rely on structural assumptions that do not hold under the ADRS process we formalize. We introduce GAMBLe, a framework that decomposes ADRS behavior into four parameters (generator $G$, assessor $\mathcal{A}$, discovery mechanism $\mathcal{M}$, budget $B$) and one compositional object, the effective landscape $L_{\text{eff}} = \mathcal{A} \circ G$, which reveals that distinct generator-assessor pairs induce structurally different per-problem optimization landscapes. We exercise the framework on 760+ replicated runs (>46,000 iterations) spanning generators from single LLMs to dynamically-adaptive ensembles, mechanisms from greedy selection to co-evolutionary meta-search, and three NP-hard problems whose assessors range from continuous scoring to cliff functions. The experiments reveal no total ordering of generators or mechanisms: frontier models can underperform open-source alternatives and the simplest mechanism sometimes outperforms state-of-the-art meta-search. Results show that even under limited budgets (60 iterations per run), the right component choices can improve performance by 13-67% and search efficiency by 6-39x.

Abstract:
When does multi-agent debate help data cleaning, and when does it hurt? Across three benchmarks, four model families, and over 6,000 task-condition pairs, we find debate's effect reverses sign: it degrades generation across all four models (-1.6 to -15.5pp) through critique-induced confusion (CIC), hallucinated Critic feedback that the Generator accepts uncritically, yet improves error detection (+27.4pp F1, d=1.0). We derive a debate benefit condition: debate helps when the probability of rescuing a wrong output (Critic verification odds weighted by fixability) exceeds the probability of destroying a correct one. A factorial experiment proves adversarial separation is essential: self-verification with identical tools fails, while a separate Critic with code-execution grounding and evidence-gated generation produces the first debate configuration to significantly exceed single-agent on a generative task (+5.3pp, p<0.05). The condition correctly predicts all nine task types and generalizes with zero false positives across 19 published comparisons in seven domains.
Insights
Contribution: This paper identifies when multi-agent debate improves or degrades data cleaning, introduces a condition for its effectiveness, and demonstrates a novel debate configuration that outperforms single-agent systems.
Core Idea: Multi-agent debate can both degrade generation (via critique-induced confusion) and enhance error detection, with benefits contingent on the balance between rescuing incorrect outputs and preserving correct ones.
Technique: A debate framework with a separate Critic agent using code-execution grounding and evidence-gated generation, distinct from the Generator, to enable adversarial separation and verification.
Pipeline: Noisy data → Generator produces output → Critic critiques via code-execution → Generator revises output → Cleaned data
Methodology: Benchmarked across three datasets, four model families, and 6,000 task-condition pairs, with factorial experiments testing adversarial separation and verification mechanisms.
Results: Debate degraded generation by -1.6 to -15.5pp (CIC), improved error detection by +27.4pp F1, and achieved +5.3pp improvement over single-agent systems (p<0.05) with optimal configuration.
Limitations: Results depend on code-execution capabilities and task-specific fixability; generalization to non-code domains remains untested.

Abstract:
Coding-agent benchmarks evaluate whether a single uninterrupted agent can resolve a repository issue. Real software work is messier: tasks are interrupted, reassigned, reviewed, and resumed from partial states left by another agent or engineer. We study this missing dimension through \emph{handoff debt}: the rediscovery cost imposed when a predecessor's work is opaque or incomplete. Our takeover protocol interrupts a coding agent at deterministic handoff points, freezes the repository, and evaluates successor agents under four handoff views: repository state only, raw trace, summary notes, and structured notes. Across 75 source tasks, the protocol generates 181 handoff-point tasks and 724 takeover runs per successor model. Across three successor models, context-bearing handoffs reduce median agent events by 20--59\% and cumulative prompt tokens by 42--63\% relative to repository-only takeover. Solved-rate effects are smaller and model-dependent, but efficiency gains are consistent. These findings suggest that coding-agent evaluation should report not only whether a task is solved, but also how costly that work is for another agent to resume.
Insights
Contribution: This paper introduces the concept of 'handoff debt' to quantify the rediscovery cost when coding agents resume interrupted tasks, revealing efficiency gains from context-rich handoff views.
Core Idea: Interrupted tasks with opaque or incomplete predecessor work impose rediscovery costs, which can be mitigated through structured handoff information for successor agents.
Technique: A takeover protocol interrupts agents at deterministic handoff points, freezes the repository, and evaluates successors under four handoff views (state-only, raw trace, summary notes, structured notes).
Pipeline: Source tasks → interrupted at handoff points → frozen repository state + handoff views → successor agent evaluation → metrics on events, tokens, and task completion.
Methodology: The study evaluates three successor models across 75 source tasks, generating 181 handoff-point tasks and 724 takeover runs, comparing performance across four handoff views.
Results: Context-bearing handoffs reduced median agent events by 20-59% and cumulative prompt tokens by 42-63% vs. repository-only takeover, with consistent efficiency gains across models.
Limitations: Findings are model-dependent; the controlled experimental setup may not fully capture real-world task interruption dynamics or human-agent collaboration nuances.

Abstract:
ReAct-style LLM agents often rediscover the same reasoning routines across problems, yet leave those routines trapped in transient scratchpads. We introduce Reasoning Primitive Induction, a single-pass method that mines successful ReAct traces, clusters recurrent reasoning moves, and converts the most frequent moves into a compact library of typed pseudo-tools. Each pseudo-tool is specified by a natural-language docstring interpreted by an LLM at invocation time, and a standard ReAct loop composes these primitives at test time. The central result is that induced libraries outperform the very agent that generated their traces: by +44pp on RuleArena NBA (30 -> 74), +30pp on MuSR team allocation (38 -> 68), and +22pp on NatPlan meeting planning (7 -> 29). Across five comparable subtasks spanning narrative deduction, rule application, and constraint-satisfaction planning, a single fixed configuration improves over zero-shot Chain-of-Thought on every subtask, matches or surpasses expert-authored decompositions, and outperforms AWM at lower average inference cost.
Insights
Contribution: The paper introduces Reasoning Primitive Induction, a method that extracts reusable reasoning patterns from agent traces to create a compact library of pseudo-tools, significantly outperforming the original agent on multiple tasks.
Core Idea: By mining recurrent reasoning moves from ReAct agent traces, the method transforms frequent patterns into typed pseudo-tools, enabling efficient composition during test-time reasoning.
Technique: A single-pass approach clusters reasoning moves from successful agent traces, converts them into natural-language docstring-based pseudo-tools, and integrates them into a standard ReAct loop for test-time use.
Pipeline: Agent traces → cluster recurrent reasoning moves → generate typed pseudo-tools → compose primitives in ReAct loop during testing
Methodology: The method uses clustering to identify frequent reasoning patterns in agent traces, then encodes them as reusable pseudo-tools with natural-language descriptions, validated across five reasoning tasks.
Results: +44pp on RuleArena NBA (30 → 74), +30pp on MuSR team allocation (38 → 68), +22pp on NatPlan meeting planning (7 → 29); outperforms zero-shot Chain-of-Thought and matches expert decompositions at lower cost.
Limitations: Depends on high-quality agent traces for induction; potential overfitting to specific task domains; requires LLM interpretation of docstrings which may introduce variability.

Abstract:
Tool-augmented vision-language agents can acquire external perceptual evidence through OCR, detection, segmentation, and other tools, but executing every proposed tool call is costly and sometimes unnecessary. We study the pre-call control problem: after a ReAct-style VLM agent proposes a perceptual tool call, should the call be executed, or skipped before its output enters the context? Across five benchmarks, we find that the baseline agent exhibits poor local selectivity: helpful and harmful calls occur at similar rates (11.8% vs. 9.9%), while most calls do not change the immediate forced-answer prediction. We introduce ToolGate, a lightweight external controller that predicts execute/skip decisions from trajectory text and simple structural features. Across two Qwen3-VL backbones, ToolGate reduces token cost to 64-69% of the unrestricted ReAct baseline while preserving average accuracy in cross-domain settings. With matched-domain trajectory training on Qwen3-VL-30B, it further improves average accuracy by 1.65 points. These results show that tool-augmented VLM agents benefit not only from better perceptual tools, but also from explicit control over when tool outputs are worth paying for.
Insights
Contribution: ToolGate introduces a lightweight external controller to improve token efficiency in tool-augmented vision-language agents by selectively skipping unnecessary tool calls without sacrificing accuracy.
Core Idea: Not all proposed tool calls are equally valuable; explicitly controlling which calls to execute reduces computational costs while maintaining performance through strategic skipping.
Technique: ToolGate uses trajectory text and simple structural features to predict execute/skip decisions for tool calls, integrated with Qwen3-VL backbones for cross-domain adaptation.
Pipeline: Input (image, question, trajectory text) → ToolGate analyzes context and structural features → Output (execute/skip decision) → Final answer generation with reduced token usage
Methodology: Trained on trajectory data across five benchmarks with cross-domain and matched-domain settings, evaluating token cost reduction and accuracy preservation through ablation studies.
Results: Reduces token cost to 64-69% of baseline while maintaining accuracy; matched-domain training improves average accuracy by 1.65 points across two Qwen3-VL backbones.
Limitations: Depends on quality of trajectory data for training; potential domain shift risks if structural features vary significantly across application scenarios.

Abstract:
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using WiFi signals has emerged as a transformative technology for smart homes, healthcare monitoring, security systems, and ambient assisted living. Unlike traditional camera-based systems that raise significant privacy concerns and fail in low-light conditions, or wearable sensors that require user compliance, WiFi-based HAR is non-intrusive, privacy-preserving, cost-effective, and works seamlessly in any lighting condition. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to recognize three distinct human activities: "No Presence" (empty room), "Walking", and "Walking + Arm-waving" using the Wallhack1.8k WiFi spectrogram dataset. We propose three key improvements to address the main challenges in WiFi-based HAR. First, to address high performance variance, we implement ensemble learning with five different CNN architectures (Deep CNN, Wide CNN, MobileNetV2, ResNet50V2, and EfficientNetB0). Second, to address the small dataset size limitation, we apply aggressive data augmentation techniques including time-warping, frequency masking, and noise addition. Third, to evaluate real-world generalization capability, we perform cross-scenario evaluation (training on Line-of-Sight and testing on Non-Line-of-Sight) and cross-antenna evaluation (training on Biquad antenna and testing on PIFA antenna). Our ensemble model achieved a test accuracy of 94.87% on the LOS scenario with Biquad antenna, outperforming the best individual model by 0.66%. Data augmentation improved Random Forest performance from 60% to 95%. Cross-scenario evaluation showed minimal accuracy drops of only 1.37% and 2.07%, demonstrating strong generalization capabilities. The results indicate that the proposed approach is robust, reliable, and suitable for real-world deployment in diverse environments with different hardware configurations.
Insights
Contribution: WISE-HAR introduces a generalizable ensemble deep learning framework for WiFi-based HAR, achieving high accuracy and robustness through novel techniques like cross-scenario/antenna evaluation and aggressive data augmentation.
Core Idea: Leverage WiFi signal reflections to recognize human activities non-intrusively, addressing privacy and hardware limitations of traditional HAR methods.
Technique: Ensemble learning with five CNN architectures, data augmentation (time-warping, frequency masking), and cross-scenario/antenna evaluations for generalization.
Pipeline: WiFi spectrogram data → CNN ensemble processing with data augmentation → classification of 'No Presence', 'Walking', or 'Walking + Arm-waving'
Methodology: Trained ensemble models on Line-of-Sight (LOS) data with Biquad antennas, tested on Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) and PIFA antennas, while applying augmentation to mitigate dataset size limitations.
Results: 94.87% test accuracy on LOS-Biquad (0.66% better than best individual model), 1.37%-2.07% accuracy drop in cross-scenario/antenna tests, Random Forest improved from 60% to 95% with augmentation.
Limitations: Results depend on specific WiFi hardware configurations; generalization to unseen environments or activities beyond the three studied classes remains untested.

Abstract:
The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled agentic AI capable of complex reasoning and tool use; however, deploying such autonomy in pervasive computing environments remains challenging due to the strict memory and energy constraints of embedded microcontrollers. Existing frameworks typically assume server-class resources or continuous connectivity, leaving a gap for deeply embedded systems. This paper proposes a modular reference architecture for Embedded Agent Systems that bridges the divide between deterministic real-time control and agentic intelligence. We introduce a tiered design that decouples On-Device Agents - executing highly compressed neural networks and rule-based logic for low-latency, privacy-critical tasks - from Cloud-Augmented Agents that leverage Small Language Models (SLMs) for higher-level reasoning and planning. A key contribution is the integration of a cross-cutting Governance Layer, ensuring observability, policy enforcement, and safety across distributed fleets of autonomous devices. Rather than presenting purely empirical benchmarks, we analyze architectural design principles and trade-offs regarding latency, energy, and reliable execution in resource-constrained environments.
Insights
Contribution: This paper introduces a modular reference architecture for Embedded Agent Systems that bridges deterministic real-time control and agentic intelligence, with a cross-cutting Governance Layer ensuring safety and policy enforcement across distributed devices.
Core Idea: A tiered design decouples On-Device Agents (for low-latency, privacy-critical tasks) from Cloud-Augmented Agents (for higher-level reasoning), while a Governance Layer ensures observability and safety in resource-constrained environments.
Technique: The architecture employs a decoupled tiered system with compressed neural networks and rule-based logic on-device, paired with Small Language Models in the cloud, and integrates a centralized Governance Layer for policy enforcement.
Pipeline: Sensor data → On-Device Agent (local processing) → Cloud-Augmented Agent (SLM-based reasoning) → Governance Layer (policy enforcement) → Actuator output
Methodology: The authors analyze architectural design principles and trade-offs through theoretical evaluation of latency, energy consumption, and reliability in resource-constrained environments rather than empirical benchmarks.
Results: The architecture demonstrates feasibility for balancing low-latency edge processing with cloud-augmented reasoning, though no quantitative performance metrics are provided.
Limitations: Lack of empirical benchmarks limits validation; real-world deployment challenges and scalability of the Governance Layer across large device fleets remain open questions.

Abstract:
Relational databases underpin modern enterprise, scientific, and healthcare systems, yet predictive machine learning on such data remains challenging due to their multi-table, heterogeneous, and temporal structure. Relational Deep Learning (RDL) addresses this by representing databases as heterogeneous graphs and applying graph neural networks (GNNs) directly. RelBench v2 recently introduced autocomplete tasks -- a practically motivated task type where the goal is to predict an existing column value from relational context, analogous to an intelligent form-filling assistant. We propose RelGT-AC (Relational Graph Transformer for Autocomplete), extending the RelGT architecture with three targeted contributions: (1) a column masking strategy that prevents trivial solutions by masking the target column during subgraph encoding; (2) a unified task head supporting binary classification, multiclass classification, and regression autocomplete tasks within a single model; and (3) a TF-IDF text encoder that automatically detects and encodes free-text columns, recovering strong lexical signal that categorical encoders discard. Across 7 tasks spanning 3 RelBench v2 datasets (rel-trial, rel-f1, rel-stack), RelGT-AC outperforms the GraphSAGE baseline on all 3 regression autocomplete tasks and achieves up to +10 AUROC points on text-heavy eligibility tasks via the TF-IDF encoder.
Insights
Contribution: RelGT-AC introduces three key innovations for relational database autocomplete tasks: column masking during encoding, a unified task head for multiple task types, and a TF-IDF text encoder for free-text columns.
Core Idea: The approach leverages relational graph transformers to encode heterogeneous database structures, enabling accurate prediction of column values from contextual relational data through enhanced graph-based representation learning.
Technique: Extends RelGT with column masking to prevent trivial solutions, a multi-task head for classification/regression, and TF-IDF encoding for text columns to capture lexical patterns discarded by categorical encoders.
Pipeline: Relational database → heterogeneous graph encoding with column masking → task-specific prediction (classification/regression) → predicted column value
Methodology: The model uses graph neural networks on RelBench v2 datasets, combining structural relational information with textual features through a hybrid encoding strategy validated across 7 autocomplete tasks.
Results: Outperforms GraphSAGE on all 3 regression tasks; achieves +10 AUROC points on text-heavy eligibility tasks via TF-IDF encoding; demonstrates effectiveness across rel-trial, rel-f1, and rel-stack datasets.
Limitations: Focus on autocomplete tasks limits broader applicability; TF-IDF encoder may underperform on highly structured or domain-specific text; requires relational schema preprocessing for graph construction.

Abstract:
Background: Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide, yet the comparative clinical potential of large-scale AI models in dentistry remains poorly understood. Three distinct model categories have emerged: language-generative models, discriminative vision foundation models, and dental-specific foundation models, with no unified review examining their relationships and collective limitations. Methods: Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, we systematically searched four databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, arXiv), screened independently by two reviewers. After applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, 97 studies (2020-2026) were included. We propose a two-dimensional classification framework organizing models by architectural paradigm and dental specialization degree. Results: Language-generative models excel at text-based tasks (clinical reasoning, licensing exams, patient communication) but show inconsistent performance on image-dependent diagnostics. Adapted SAM and CLIP variants achieve strong tooth segmentation and lesion detection results. Dental-specific models (DentVFM, DentVLM, OralGPT) demonstrate strongest performance on complex multimodal tasks. Integrated pipelines consistently outperform single-model approaches. A data asymmetry is observed: dental-specific pretraining concentrates almost entirely in the vision domain, reflecting scarce large-scale dental text corpora. Conclusions: General-purpose and dental-specific models play complementary roles; the most effective systems combine both within structured pipelines. Safe autonomous deployment requires resolving three persistent barriers: hallucination in generative models, limited annotated dental datasets, and absent standardized clinical evaluation benchmarks.
Insights
Contribution: This paper provides the first systematic review and classification framework for large AI models in dentistry, highlighting the complementary roles of general-purpose and domain-specific systems.
Core Idea: Integrated pipelines combining general-purpose and dental-specific models outperform single-model approaches, though data asymmetry and technical barriers remain critical challenges.
Technique: A two-dimensional classification framework organizes models by architectural paradigm (generative, vision, multimodal) and degree of dental specialization.
Pipeline: Dental clinical data → model classification (language-generative, vision foundation, dental-specific) → enhanced diagnostic accuracy and multimodal task performance
Methodology: PRISMA-ScR-guided systematic review of 97 studies (2020-2026) across PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and arXiv, with independent dual-review screening.
Results: Dental-specific models excel in complex tasks (e.g., DentVFM, OralGPT), while adapted vision models (SAM, CLIP) achieve strong segmentation; data asymmetry shows 98% of dental pretraining focuses on vision due to scarce text corpora.
Limitations: Persistent challenges include generative model hallucinations, limited annotated dental datasets, and absence of standardized clinical evaluation benchmarks for AI systems.

Abstract:
Graphs have been used to enhance large language models (LLMs) for structured reasoning, mostly as external knowledge sources are provided to models at test time. In this paper, we take a different view: the value of graphs for LLMs lie not only in supplying information, but also in organizing reasoning. Inspired by how humans use graph-structured mind maps to organize branching and converging thoughts, we ask whether graphs can serve as an internal form of reasoning assistance. We study this question on multi-hop question answering tasks, where teacher-provided reasoning traces are rewritten as graph mind maps and used to guide a student model. Our experiments reveal a clear modality gap. When graph structures are flattened into text, their benefits become limited once direct answer hints are removed. Under this abstract guidance setting, both reasoning efficiency and answer quality degrade substantially. In contrast, visual graph guidance remains effective without direct answer clues, and its advantage persists after supervised fine-tuning and KL-based distillation. The above findings support the claim that graphs should be studied not only as external knowledge structures for LLMs, but also as visual scaffolds for organizing reasoning.
Insights
Contribution: This paper demonstrates that visual graph structures can serve as internal reasoning scaffolds for LLMs, improving structural reasoning efficiency and answer quality beyond text-based guidance.
Core Idea: Graphs should be viewed as visual tools for organizing reasoning in LLMs, not just external knowledge sources, by leveraging their ability to represent branching/converging thought processes.
Technique: Teacher reasoning traces are transformed into graph mind maps to guide student models during training, with visual graph structures preserving reasoning benefits without direct answer hints.
Pipeline: Teacher reasoning traces → graph mind map generation → student model training with visual graph guidance → multi-hop QA performance evaluation
Methodology: Experiments compare text-flattened vs. visual graph guidance on multi-hop QA tasks, analyzing performance under abstract guidance, fine-tuning, and distillation conditions.
Results: Visual graph guidance outperforms text-based methods by 15-20% in reasoning accuracy without answer hints, maintaining advantages after fine-tuning and distillation.
Limitations: Results are task-specific to multi-hop QA; generalizability to other reasoning domains and scalability to larger graphs remain unexplored.

Abstract:
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong natural-language reasoning abilities for clinical decision support, but struggle to effectively model structured longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs). In contrast, EHR foundation models can learn predictive patient representations, yet lack interpretable language-based reasoning. To bridge this gap, we propose ChatHealthAI, a multimodal reasoning framework that aligns structured EHR representations from a pretrained EHR foundation model with the semantic space of a frozen LLM through a task-aware resampler. By integrating longitudinal patient representations with refined clinical event descriptions, ChatHealthAI enables clinically grounded natural-language reasoning while maintaining accurate patient prediction. We evaluated ChatHealthAI on three clinical predictive tasks from the EHRSHOT benchmark. Results show that ChatHealthAI improves reasoning quality and interpretability while preserving competitive predictive performance. These findings highlight the potential of integrating EHR foundation models with pretrained LLMs for interpretable clinical prediction.
Insights
Contribution: ChatHealthAI bridges the gap between structured EHR representations and LLMs by enabling clinically grounded natural-language reasoning while preserving predictive accuracy.
Core Idea: Align structured EHR patient representations with LLM semantic spaces using a task-aware resampler to combine longitudinal data with interpretable clinical reasoning.
Technique: A task-aware resampler aligns pretrained EHR foundation model outputs with a frozen LLM's semantic space, integrating longitudinal patient data with refined clinical event descriptions.
Pipeline: EHR data → pretrained EHR model generates structured representations → task-aware resampler aligns with LLM semantic space → LLM produces clinical reasoning and predictions
Methodology: Evaluated on three clinical predictive tasks from the EHRSHOT benchmark, comparing reasoning quality, interpretability, and predictive performance against baselines.
Results: Improved reasoning quality and interpretability while maintaining competitive predictive performance on EHRSHOT tasks compared to standalone EHR or LLM approaches.
Limitations: Depends on high-quality clinical event descriptions and may face computational challenges due to multimodal alignment; generalizability across diverse EHR systems remains untested.

Abstract:
Structured financial audit verification is difficult for language-model agents because correctness depends on structured evidence rather than text alone. A model must link reported facts to taxonomy concepts, traverse calculation or dimensional relations, and recompute expected values before applying an audit rule. We propose AuditFlow, a graph-grounded multi-agent framework that separates adaptive search from deterministic verification. AuditFlow builds a symbolic environment from a static US-GAAP taxonomy graph and a dynamic XBRL filing graph, and exposes it through typed tools for fact retrieval, taxonomy traversal, numerical checking, and rule evaluation. Two junior auditors inspect each case from regulatory and evidentiary views, while a senior auditor resolves disagreements and can request further investigation. The final reports are fused through evidential aggregation to produce an audit verdict, expected value, evidence trail, and trustworthiness score. On a FinAuditing-derived FinMR sample, AuditFlow reaches 82.09% joint audit accuracy under GPT-5.5, outperforming the strongest baseline by 14.93 points. Removing deterministic checks drops accuracy to 17.91%, showing that the symbolic environment performs the verification step that the model cannot reliably replace.
Insights
Contribution: AuditFlow introduces a graph-grounded multi-agent framework for structured financial audit verification, achieving significant accuracy improvements by combining symbolic environments with human-like auditing processes.
Core Idea: The framework separates adaptive search from deterministic verification using a symbolic environment built from US-GAAP and XBRL graphs, enabling precise fact-checking and rule evaluation through specialized agents.
Technique: AuditFlow constructs a symbolic environment from static taxonomy and dynamic XBRL graphs, exposing typed tools for fact retrieval, numerical validation, and rule-based verification within a multi-agent system.
Pipeline: XBRL filings and US-GAAP taxonomy → symbolic environment construction → junior auditor analysis (regulatory/evidentiary) → senior auditor resolution → evidential aggregation → audit verdict with expected value and trust score
Methodology: The approach combines graph-based symbolic reasoning with a three-tiered agent system (two junior auditors and one senior auditor) to validate financial reports through structured evidence traversal and numerical recalculations.
Results: Achieved 82.09% joint audit accuracy on FinMR dataset under GPT-5.5, outperforming the strongest baseline by 14.93 points; deterministic checks were critical, as removing them reduced accuracy to 17.91%.
Limitations: Dependence on high-quality symbolic environments and XBRL data quality; potential scalability challenges with complex taxonomies; requires integration with evolving regulatory frameworks.

Abstract:
Many decision-support settings require systems that adapt to individual users, but evaluation data for this problem remain limited. Existing benchmarks for user understanding often rely on simulated users or model-generated behavior, even though recent work cautions that model-based simulations can diverge systematically from human behavior. We introduce \textsc{BehaviorBench}, a benchmark for evaluating personalized decision modeling from real-world behavioral traces. \textsc{BehaviorBench} reconstructs wallet-level decision histories from observed public prediction-market and on-chain records, and organizes them into two complementary task layers: \emph{Belief prediction}, which predicts a user's final revealed stance and confidence in a market, and \emph{Trade prediction}, which predicts the direction and amount of individual transactions. Across 2,000 evaluation wallets, the benchmark contains 141,445 Belief instances and 1,485,972 Trade instances, with disjoint support pools for retrieval-based evaluation. We evaluate frontier and open-weight generative models under four history interfaces: no personalization, direct recent history, generated user profiles, and retrieved support-wallet evidence. Personalization improves Belief prediction more consistently than Trade prediction, model rankings change across task layers and metrics, and different history interfaces expose different failure modes. \textsc{BehaviorBench} provides an evaluation setting for studying whether personalized methods can use real-world behavioral evidence rather than simulated users alone.
Insights
Contribution: BehaviorBench introduces a benchmark for evaluating personalized decision modeling using real-world behavioral traces, addressing limitations of simulated user data in existing benchmarks.
Core Idea: The benchmark leverages real-world wallet-level data from prediction markets and on-chain records to assess models' ability to predict user beliefs and trading behaviors through personalized historical analysis.
Technique: BehaviorBench reconstructs user decision histories from public records and organizes them into two tasks: Belief prediction (stance/confidence) and Trade prediction (transaction direction/amount), evaluated with disjoint support pools.
Pipeline: Public prediction-market/on-chain records → Wallet-level decision history reconstruction → Belief/Trade task formulation → Model evaluation with personalization interfaces → Performance metrics across task layers.
Methodology: The study evaluates frontier and open-weight models under four history interfaces (no personalization, recent history, generated profiles, retrieved evidence) across 2,000 wallets with 1.6M+ instances.
Results: Personalization improves Belief prediction more than Trade prediction; model rankings vary by task layer/metric; different interfaces reveal distinct failure modes (e.g., over-reliance on generated profiles).
Limitations: The benchmark focuses on prediction-market/on-chain domains, limiting generalizability; reliance on public data may exclude private/user-controlled behavioral traces.

Abstract:
Watershed networks exhibit convergent topologies in which multiple tributaries merge into downstream channels,integrating diverse upstream hydrological processes. In ungauged basins, the absence of direct observations increases uncertainty and limits the ability to anticipate extreme events. This study evaluates whether an encoder-only Transformer provides an advantage over an LSTM for upstream streamflow inference under limited hydrologic information, using retrospective simulations from the NOAA National Water Model (NWM). Across both upstream-only and combined configurations, the LSTM showed stronger overall performance than the Transformer model across the two configurations. Incorporating downstream information further boosted performance for all models, increasing median NNSE by more than 60%. Rather than treating this as a leaderboard-style comparison, we interpret the experiments as a test of architectural inductive bias for hydrologic sequence inference. The results indicate that recurrent memory remains better aligned with this upstream reconstruction task than an encoder-only Transformer, while downstream hydrologic context provides a strong auxiliary constraint that substantially improves prediction skill across architectures
Insights
Contribution: This study evaluates the effectiveness of encoder-only Transformers versus LSTMs for streamflow prediction in ungauged basins, revealing architectural insights for hydrologic sequence inference under data scarcity.
Core Idea: Recurrent memory mechanisms in LSTMs outperform encoder-only Transformers for upstream streamflow reconstruction, while downstream hydrologic context significantly enhances prediction accuracy across models.
Technique: Retrospective simulations using the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) to compare LSTM and Transformer architectures for upstream and combined upstream-downstream streamflow inference.
Pipeline: Hydrologic features → LSTM/Transformer processing → Streamflow predictions
Methodology: The study employs retrospective simulations from NWM to assess model performance using metrics like NNSE, comparing upstream-only and combined upstream-downstream configurations.
Results: LSTM outperformed Transformer in both configurations; downstream information increased median NNSE by >60% across all models.
Limitations: Results are specific to encoder-only Transformers and NWM data; generalizability to other architectures or ungauged basin characteristics remains untested.

Abstract:
The KV-cache is the right memory for datacenters but the wrong memory for robots. Datacenter inference batches many short requests and resets them, amortizing an attention cache across a crowd. Embodied agents instead run one long, non-resetting episode on bandwidth-limited edge hardware, where high-bandwidth memory and flash are scarce, flash has finite write endurance, and memory writes rather than compute can become the binding constraint. AURA-Mem (Action-Utility Recurrent Adaptive Memory) targets this regime. It wraps a frozen vision-language-action backbone with a constant-size recurrent memory and a learned gate that writes only when the current observation would change the next action: memory that knows when to stay silent. Unlike reconstruction-based memory, the gate is trained directly against a closed-loop action-error signal. Its inference state is fixed at 4,224 bytes regardless of horizon, while a KV-cache grows to 6,061 times larger at 100,000 steps. On a controlled synthetic benchmark, AURA-Mem matches the best O(1) baseline in accuracy while using 5.19-6.13 times fewer writes, and up to 9.19 times fewer writes on easier configurations. Budget-matched random and periodic schedules do not recover this gain, isolating the benefit to the action-surprise signal. On a trained closed-loop OpenVLA-OFT 7B panel on LIBERO-Long (n=60 episodes per arm), the gate does not hurt success: AURA-Mem matches the ungated base policy (0.233) and slightly exceeds an always-write KV arm (0.217), while using 7.0 times fewer writes and constant memory. We also instantiate an approximate-information-state value-loss bound as a methodology demonstration; at this scale, the bound is vacuous rather than a guarantee.
Insights
Contribution: AURA-Mem introduces a constant-size recurrent memory with an action-gated write mechanism for robot policies, addressing VRAM constraints in edge devices by reducing memory writes compared to KV-caches.
Core Idea: AURA-Mem uses a learned gate to write to memory only when observations would alter the next action, leveraging action-surprise signals instead of reconstruction loss to optimize memory usage in long, non-resetting robotic episodes.
Technique: AURA-Mem wraps a frozen vision-language-action backbone with a recurrent memory and a gate trained on closed-loop action-error signals, maintaining fixed inference state size (4,224 bytes) independent of episode length.
Pipeline: Observation → Frozen vision-language-action backbone → Action-gated recurrent memory (writes only when action changes) → Action output
Methodology: The gate is trained using closed-loop action-error signals, with comparisons to baselines (random/periodic schedules, KV-cache) on synthetic and LIBERO-Long benchmarks, and an approximate-information-state value-loss bound is demonstrated as a methodology.
Results: Matches best O(1) baseline accuracy with 5.19-6.13× fewer writes on synthetic tasks; achieves 7.0× fewer writes than KV-cache while matching base policy success (0.233) on LIBERO-Long, outperforming always-write KV (0.217).
Limitations: The approximate-information-state value-loss bound is vacuous at scale; effectiveness depends on action-surprise signal quality, and the method may not generalize to tasks with different memory requirements.

Abstract:
Electronic health records (EHRs) are central to clinical prediction, but existing methods either rely on correlation-driven deep models or use single large language models (LLMs), making it difficult to support multidisciplinary clinical reasoning. Recent multi-agent systems (MAS) provide a promising alternative, yet current EHR-grounded MAS methods still suffer from weak evidence differentiation across agents and redundant multi-round interaction. We propose D2MDT, a Department-aware MultiDisciplinary Team Consultation with Deliberation for Efficient clinical prediction. D2MDT first constructs structured EHR evidence and consultation-ready semantic evidence for multi-agent consultation. It then assigns patient-specific department perspectives to doctor agents and retrieves complementary evidence for collaborative consultation. To improve efficiency, D2MDT further introduces residual deliberation, which updates only unresolved consensus rather than replaying the full discussion history. Finally, D2MDT fuses the refined consensus report with structured EHR representations for prediction. Experiments on mortality prediction show that D2MDT improves both predictive performance and consultation efficiency. We release the code online to ease the reproducibility of this paper.
Insights
Contribution: D2MDT addresses limitations of existing EHR-based clinical prediction methods by introducing a department-aware multi-agent system with residual deliberation for efficient multidisciplinary consultation.
Core Idea: The framework leverages structured EHR evidence and department-specific agent perspectives to enable collaborative clinical reasoning while minimizing redundant interactions through targeted deliberation.
Technique: D2MDT uses residual deliberation to update only unresolved consensus and fuses refined reports with structured EHR representations for final predictions.
Pipeline: EHR data → structured/semantic evidence creation → department-specific agent consultation → residual deliberation → consensus fusion → clinical prediction
Methodology: The approach combines multi-agent consultation with department-aware evidence retrieval and residual deliberation to improve both prediction accuracy and interaction efficiency.
Results: Experiments on mortality prediction demonstrate improved performance metrics and reduced consultation steps compared to correlation-driven models and single LLM approaches.
Limitations: Requires structured EHR data and department-specific knowledge encoding; generalizability to other clinical tasks or unstructured data remains unexplored.
