By learning the idiosyncrasies of accumulated layers of legacy systems, AI agents can preserve institutional knowledge and provide a unified interface to a range of services.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the key challenge isn't what they can do; it's how to design the human side of the equation.
What machine learning theorists learned using AI agents to generate proofs — and what comes next.
As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.

BIG.AI@MIT2026Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world applications such as chatbots, writing assistants, and text summarization tools. As these applications become more central to user-facing tasks, robust evaluation of their performance becomes critical, not only for ensuring quality but also for guiding continuous improvement. Traditional evaluation approaches rely on intrinsic metrics

AAAI 2026 Workshop on Shaping Responsible Synthetic Data in the Era of Foundation Models2026Product information extraction is crucial for e-commerce services, but obtaining high-quality labeled datasets remains challenging. We present a systematic approach for generating synthetic e-commerce product data using Large Language Models (LLMs), introducing a controlled modification framework with three strategies: attribute-preserving modification, controlled negative example generation, and systematic

2026Large Language Model (LLM) judges exhibit strong reasoning capabilities but are limited to textual content. This leaves current automatic Speech-to-Speech (S2S) evaluation methods reliant on opaque and expensive Audio Language Models (ALMs). In this work, we propose TRACE (Textual Reasoning over Audio Cues for Evaluation), a novel framework that enables LLM judges to reason over audio cues to achieve cost-efficient

EACL 2026, NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Continual and Compatible Foundation Model Updates2026Large Language Models (LLMs) suffer from severe catastrophic forgetting when adapted sequentially to new tasks in a continual learning (CL) setting. Existing approaches are fundamentally limited: replay-based methods are impractical and could potentially violate privacy, while strict orthogonality-based methods collapse under scale: each new task is projected onto an orthogonal complement, progressively

2026Reinforcement learning (RL) has re-emerged as a natural approach for training interactive LLM agents in real-world environments. However, directly applying the widely used Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm to multi-turn tasks exposes notable limitations, particularly in scenarios requiring long-horizon reasoning. To address these challenges, we investigate more stable and effective advantage
