ReElicit: Optimizing System Prompts via Dynamic Bayesian Representations
ReElicit is a new Bayesian optimization framework that uses LLMs to elicit interpretable feature spaces for tuning system prompts. It enables effective prompt optimization even when only aggregate scalar feedback is available, outperforming traditional baselines.
Provably Convergent Workflow Learning for Decentralized Multi-Agent LLMs
Researchers introduced IC-Q, a decentralized Q-learning algorithm that enables multi-agent LLM pipelines to coordinate via shared artifacts without centralized trajectory access. The study provides the first finite-sample convergence guarantee for neural Q-learning under decentralized partial observability.
POLAR-Bench: Evaluating Privacy-Utility Trade-offs in LLM Agents
POLAR-Bench is a new diagnostic benchmark designed to test how LLM agents handle private user data when interacting with adversarial third-party systems. It reveals a significant performance gap in privacy alignment between frontier models and smaller open-weight models.
New Framework Solves Interference in Multi-Task Machine Unlearning
Researchers introduced an interference-aware framework for multi-task unlearning that prevents unintended performance degradation when removing data. By using task-aware gradient projection and instance-level orthogonalization, the method significantly improves unlearning efficacy compared to existing baselines.
Hybrid KAN-MLP Architecture Boosts Human Activity Recognition Accuracy
Researchers propose a hybrid architecture combining Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) and Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) to improve Human Activity Recognition (HAR). By leveraging KANs for input embedding and classification while retaining MLPs for feature mixing, the model achieves a 5.33% improvement in F1 scores over pure-MLP baselines.
Evaluating LLM Utility for Personal Health Records
This study evaluates Gemini 3.0 Flash's ability to interpret complex Personal Health Records (PHRs) to answer patient queries. Results demonstrate that providing PHR context significantly improves the helpfulness, safety, and personalization of AI-generated responses.
Developing Data Probes to Understand LLM Performance
This position paper proposes 'data probes'—synthetic sequences generated from random processes—to systematically analyze how specific data characteristics influence LLM behavior. This approach aims to replace empirical heuristics with a principled framework for understanding model training and inference.
