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.

NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning2025Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on short-horizon tasks but struggle with long-horizon, multimodal scenarios that require multi-step reasoning, perception, and adaptive planning. We identify two key challenges in these settings: the difficulty of long-term coordination between planning and execution within single-agent architectures and the inefficiency of indiscriminate visual grounding. To address

2025This paper investigates synthetic data generation strategies in developing generative retrieval models for domain-specific corpora, thereby addressing the scalability challenges inherent in manually annotating in-domain queries. We study the data strategies for a two-stage training framework: in the first stage, which focuses on learning to decode document identifiers from queries, we investigate LLM-generated

KDD 2025 Workshop on Prompt Optimization2025Length control in Large Language Models (LLMs) is a crucial but under-addressed challenge, with applications ranging from voice interfaces requiring concise responses to research summaries needing comprehensive outputs. Current approaches to length control, including Regularized DPO, Length-Instruction Fine-Tuning, and tool-augmented methods, typically require expensive model retrain-ing or complex inference-time

NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Uncovering Causality in Science2025Online randomized controlled experiments (A/B tests) measure causal changes in industry. While these experiments use incremental changes to minimize disruption, they often yield statistically insignificant results due to low signal-to-noise ratios. Precision improvement (or reducing standard error) traditionally focuses on trigger observations - where treatment and control outputs differ. Though effective

KDD 2025 Workshop on AI Agent for Information Retrieval2025In this paper, we present CACHE-ED, a novel framework for document entity extraction that combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with graph-based document representations, caching mechanisms, and an actor-critic multi-agent architecture. Our approach addresses the inefficiencies and inaccuracies that are common in extracting structured information from documents, particularly in templated formats
