SkillIR is a skill-guided framework for agentic image restoration that represents restoration experience as degradation-centered action evidence rather than full tool-use trajectories. It consolidates context-dependent action outcomes into scene-aware restoration skills, guiding one bounded action at a time within a verified residual-state loop. Experiments on synthetic and real-world multi-degradation datasets show that SkillIR improves restoration quality and enables more reliable and effective tool use.

EarlyEval introduces a lightweight framework that predicts an LLM agent’s final outcome early in its execution, allowing the run to halt when a LightGBM classifier reaches a calibrated confidence threshold. By training success and failure classifiers on behavioral, textual, and reference-solution features, EarlyEval can cut 13%-26% of agent steps and up to 44.1% of input tokens while maintaining 89%-97% prediction accuracy. Across three benchmarks—SWE-bench Verified, TerminalBench, and Toolathlon—this approach reduces evaluation costs with minimal impact on per-agent resolve rates.

The paper introduces DLC, a metric-guided dynamic loss controller that adjusts the weighting of existing training losses during multi-objective image restoration. DLC evaluates the model on a fixed feedback subset and uses quality metrics to update the loss-weight vector via an LLM-based controller, without altering the restoration architecture or adding new loss terms. Experiments on low-light enhancement, deraining, and super-resolution demonstrate that DLC guides training toward balanced fidelity and perceptual quality across diverse domains.
