Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.
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.

EACL 2026 Industry Track2026This paper introduces a novel framework for simulating and analyzing how uncooperative behaviors can destabilize or collapse LLM-based multi-agent systems. Our framework includes two key components: (1) a game theory-based taxonomy of uncooperative agent behaviors, addressing a notable gap in the existing literature; and (2) a structured, multistage simulation pipeline that dynamically generates and refines

2026Reasoning-augmented vision language models (VLMs) generate explicit chains of thought that promise greater capability and transparency but also introduce new failure modes: models may reach correct answers via visually unfaithful intermediate steps, or reason faithfully yet fail on the final prediction. Standard evaluations that only measure final-answer accuracy cannot distinguish these behaviors. We introduce

AAAI 2026 Workshop on Agentic AI Benchmarks and Applications for Enterprise Tasks2026As organizations scale adoption of generative AI, model cost optimization and operational efficiency have emerged as critical factors determining sustainability and accessibility. While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities across diverse tasks, their extensive computational requirements make them cost-prohibitive for routine enterprise use. This limitation motivates the exploration

2026We introduce the Block Rearrangement Problem (BRaP), a challenging component of large warehouse management which involves rearranging storage blocks within dense grids to achieve a goal state. We formally define the BRaP as a graph search problem. Building on intuitions from sliding puzzle problems, we propose five search-based solution algorithms, leveraging joint configuration space search, classical

EACL 2026 Industry Track2026Existing multimodal systems typically associate text and available images based on embedding similarity or simple co-location, but such approaches often fail to ensure that the linked image accurately depicts the specific product or component mentioned in a troubleshooting instruction. We introduce MIRAGE, a metadata-first paradigm that treats structured metadata, (not raw pixels), as a first-class modality
