$A^2E$ : An End-to-End Agent Auditing Engine

Haoning Wang, Mingxun Zhang, Chenyue Yu, Yingjun Shang, Xing Xie

A^2E$ is an end-to-end engine for evaluating LLM agents deployed via harnesses. It uses the Agent Task Protocol (ATP) for easy integration and an instrumented Monitor to generate standardized execution traces. This allows for systematic, multidimensional capability assessment beyond simple correctness, offering a more comprehensive evaluation of agent performance.

Adapting Technical-Service LLM Agents with Latent Logic Augmentation, Robust Noise Reduction, and Hybrid Reward Modeling

Junzhuo Ma, Chenghuang Shen et al.

This paper introduces a novel framework for adapting technical-service LLM agents to production environments. It addresses challenges like hidden decision logic and noisy data by augmenting training with latent logic, robustly filtering noise, and employing a …

Alignment Whack-a-Mole : Finetuning Activates Verbatim Recall of Copyrighted Books in Large Language Models

Xinyue Liu, Niloofar Mireshghallah et al.

This paper demonstrates that finetuning LLMs, even on unrelated data, can bypass safety mechanisms and enable verbatim recall of copyrighted books. By training models to expand plot summaries, the researchers successfully induced models like GPT-4o and Gemini-…

Overview of the extraction pipeline. We generate plot summaries from book excerpts (left), finetune the model to expand summaries into verbatim text (center), and evaluate memorization on held-out books at inference (right).

Figure 1 . Alpha-R1 Framework Overview. The pipeline follows three sequential stages: (a) Preparation: constructing a global historical memory ( M g ​ l ​ o ​ b ​ a ​ l M_{global} ) from raw data and running systematic factor backtesting; (b) Semantic Construction: mapping quantitative metrics into semantic factor profiles ( \( \alpha \)_{\( \text{des} \)} ) and dynamic market state descriptions ( S t S_{t} ); (c) Reasoning & Optimization: performing semantic gating that evaluates \( \alpha \)_{\( \text{des} \)} against S t S_{t} , with the policy refined through GRPO. Framework diagram showing the preparation, semantic construction, and reasoning and optimization stages of \( \framename \).

Alpha-R1: Alpha Screening with LLM Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

Zuoyou Jiang, Li Zhao et al.

Alpha-R1 uses a reinforcement learning-aligned LLM to screen investment factors. Its core method, "semantic gating," dynamically assesses factors' economic rationale against current market conditions, selecting a sparse, context-aware subset. This approach add…

AMA: Adaptive Memory via Multi-Agent Collaboration

Weiquan Huang, Zixuan Wang et al.

AMA introduces a novel framework for LLM agent memory that addresses limitations of existing systems. Its core method involves a multi-agent collaboration to manage memory across multiple granularities, dynamically aligning retrieval granularity with task comp…

Comparison of static paradigms and the AMA framework. (a) Static methods suffer from the dilemma of fixed granularity, leading to either noise or information loss. (b) AMA dynamically determines the memory granularity to use, aligning retrieval precision with reasoning demands.
