Aegis: Automated Error Generation and Identification for Multi-Agent Systems

ICLR 2026poster

Large language model based multi-agent systems (MAS) have unlocked significant advancements in tackling complex problems, but their increasing capability introduces a structural fragility that makes them difficult to debug. A key obstacle to improving their reliability is the severe scarcity of larg…

Agora: Toward Autonomous Bug Detection in Production-Level Consensus Protocols with LLM Agents

ICML 2026poster

Consensus protocols form the backbone of distributed systems and blockchains, where implementation bugs can cause data corruption and financial losses. While LLM-based approaches show promise in code analysis, they struggle with deep protocol-level logic bugs involving complex state-dependent behavi…

From Human Videos to Robot Manipulation: A Survey on Action-Relevant Representation Transfer for Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning

IJCAI 2026

Recent progress in generalizable embodied control has been driven by large-scale pretraining of Vision–Language–Action (VLA) models. However, most existing approaches rely on large collections of robot demonstrations, which are costly to obtain and tightly coupled to specific embodiments. Human vide

PoliCon: Evaluating LLMs on Achieving Diverse Political Consensus Objectives

ICLR 2026poster

Achieving political consensus is crucial yet challenging for the effective functioning of social governance. However, although frontier AI systems represented by large language models (LLMs) have developed rapidly in recent years, their capabilities in this scope are still understudied. In this pape…

Amulet: ReAlignment During Test Time for Personalized Preference Adaptation of LLMs

ICLR 2025poster

How to align large language models (LLMs) with user preferences from a static general dataset has been frequently studied. However, user preferences are usually personalized, changing, and diverse. This leads to the problem that the actual user preferences often do not coincide with those trained by…

Evaluating Generalization Capabilities of LLM-Based Agents in Mixed-Motive Scenarios Using Concordia

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated impressive capabilities for social interaction and are increasingly being deployed in situations where they might engage with both human and artificial agents. These interactions represent a critical frontier for LLM-based agents, yet existing eval…

Magnetic Preference Optimization: Achieving Last-iterate Convergence for Language Model Alignment

ICLR 2025poster

Self-play methods have demonstrated remarkable success in enhancing model capabilities across various domains. In the context of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), self-play not only boosts Large Language Model (LLM) performance but also overcomes the limitations of traditional Bradl…

CivRealm: A Learning and Reasoning Odyssey in Civilization for Decision-Making Agents

ICLR 2024spotlight

The generalization of decision-making agents encompasses two fundamental elements: learning from past experiences and reasoning in novel contexts. However, the predominant emphasis in most interactive environments is on learning, often at the expense of complexity in reasoning. In this paper, we int…

ProAgent: Building Proactive Cooperative Agents with Large Language Models

AAAI 2024technical

Building agents with adaptive behavior in cooperative tasks stands as a paramount goal in the realm of multi-agent systems. Current approaches to developing cooperative agents rely primarily on learning-based methods, whose policy generalization depends heavily on the diversity of teammates they int…

STAS: Spatial-Temporal Return Decomposition for Solving Sparse Rewards Problems in Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

AAAI 2024technical

Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) has been proven to be an effective paradigm in cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). One of the major challenges is credit assignment, which aims to credit agents by their contributions. They lack the functionality to model co…

Continuous Decomposition of Granularity for Neural Paraphrase Generation

COLING 2022main

While Transformers have had significant success in paragraph generation, they treat sentences as linear sequences of tokens and often neglect their hierarchical information. Prior work has shown that decomposing the levels of granularity (e.g., word, phrase, or sentence) for input tokens has produce…
