SafeSieve: From Heuristics to Experience in Progressive Pruning for LLM-based Multi-Agent Communication

AAAI 2026technical

LLM-based multi-agent systems exhibit strong collaborative capabilities but often suffer from redundant communication and excessive token overhead. Existing methods typically enhance efficiency through pretrained GNNs or greedy algorithms, but often isolate pre- and post-task optimization, lacking a

SCALE: Towards Collaborative Content Analysis in Social Science with Large Language Model Agents and Human Intervention

ACL 2025long

Content analysis breaks down complex and unstructured texts into theory-informed numerical categories. Particularly, in social science, this process usually relies on multiple rounds of manual annotation, domain expert discussion, and rule-based refinement. In this paper, we introduce SCALE, a novel…

Towards Safety Reasoning in LLMs: AI-agentic Deliberation for Policy-embedded CoT Data Creation

ACL 2025finding

Safety reasoning is a recent paradigm where LLMs reason over safety policies before generating responses, thereby mitigating limitations in existing safety measures such as over-refusal and jailbreak vulnerabilities. However, implementing this paradigm is challenging due to the resource-intensive pr…

FANTAstic SEquences and Where to Find Them: Faithful and Efficient API Call Generation through State-tracked Constrained Decoding and Reranking

EMNLP 2024finding

API call generation is the cornerstone of large language models’ tool-using ability that provides access to the larger world. However, existing supervised and in-context learning approaches suffer from high training costs, poor data efficiency, and generated API calls that can be unfaithful to the A…

Adaptive Symmetry Reference Trajectory Generation in Shared Autonomy for Active Knee Orthosis

RA-L 2023

Gait symmetry training plays an essential role in the rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients. Robotics-based gait training has been widely accepted by patients and clinicians. Reference trajectory generation for the affected side using the motion data of the unaffected side is an important way to ach

Multi-User MultiWOZ: Task-Oriented Dialogues among Multiple Users

EMNLP 2023long findings

While most task-oriented dialogues assume conversations between the agent and one user at a time, dialogue systems are increasingly expected to communicate with multiple users simultaneously who make decisions collaboratively. To facilitate development of such systems, we release the Multi-User Mult…

Narrative Style and the Spread of Health Misinformation on Twitter

EMNLP 2023long findings

Using a narrative style is an effective way to communicate health information both on and off social media. Given the amount of misinformation being spread online and its potential negative effects, it is crucial to investigate the interplay between narrative communication style and misinformative h…
