When Local Monitors Miss Compositional Harm: Diagnosing Distributed Backdoors in Multi-Agent Systems

"As multi-agent, tool-using LLM systems are deployed, a common safety net is a runtime monitor that checks each message, tool call, or step on its own. We show this net has a fundamental hole. A distributed backdoor splits a harmful payload across agents, so every local check passes while the assembl..."

Knowledgeless Language Models: Suppressing Parametric Recall for Evidence-Grounded Language Modeling

In this work, we study whether modifying the pretraining signal can systematically shift models away f..."

Resist and Update: Counterfactual Report Coordinates for Incentive-Compatible LLMs

Inside the Unfair Judge: A Mechanistic Interpretability Account of LLM-as-Judge Bias

"Existing studies of LLM-as-judge scoring bias work predominantly at the input-output level: they perturb inputs, measure score deltas, and propose prompt-level mitigations. We argue that the same biases admit a representation-level account in the judge's hidden state, complementary to the input-outp..."

Toward Localizing and Repairing Bias in Transformer Attention Heads

Existing fairness testing and repair methods largely operate at the input-output or retraining level, while recent work suggests that bias-related be..."

Who Grades the Grader? Co-Evolving Evaluation Metrics and Skills for Self-Improving LLM Agents

"Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists. In many real applications it does not. We make three claims. First, metrics can be \emph{evolved}: our metric loop..."

LLM Judges Can Be Too Generous When There Is No Reference Answer

Tracing Agentic Failure from the Flow of Success

The Illusion of Robustness: Aggregate Accuracy Hides Prediction Flips under Task-Irrelevant Context

"As large language models (LLMs) grow more capable, they are increasingly deployed in context-rich settings where task inputs are often accompanied by long, partially irrelevant context. In a controlled setting, we find that state-of-the-art models often appear robust to task-irrelevant context at th..."

Do AI Agents Know When a Task Is Simple? Toward Complexity-Aware Reasoning and Execution
