01
Resourced Authority A Mechanism-Design Model for Participatory Governance of Deployed AI Agents
We give a formal mechanism design model for the continuous participatory governance of a deployed AI agent.
02
TRAJDEBUG: Tracing Error Lifecycle to Identify Critical Failures in Long-Horizon Agent Trajectories
LLM-based agentic systems have shown remarkable capabilities in complex domains, while suffering from cascading errors and difficulty in debugging.
03
HarnessOpt-Bench: Evaluating LLMs at Harness Optimization
As LLMs are increasingly deployed within agentic systems, their capabilities depend not only on the model weights but also on the harness.
04
Learning Globally Reusable Skills for Coding Agents
Automated skill evolution enables Large Language Model (LLM) agents to continuously improve without expensive retraining.

Hardware Keystores for AI Agent Signing Workflows: A Zero-Trust MCP Enforcement Architecture
AI agents performing cryptographic operations (signing Git commits, authenticating API calls, issuing certificates) currently store private keys in software-accessible locations.
07
Tracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload.
08
Beyond Top-K: Replacing Black-Box Retrieval with Interpretable Agentic Operations
Retrieval-augmented generation over long documents is dominated by one design: chunk the text, embed the chunks, and surface the top-k nearest neighbours of the query.
