A Negotiation-Aware Hybrid LLM Framework for Intent Interpretation and Service Discovery

The paper introduces a negotiation‑aware hybrid LLM framework that interprets natural‑language intents and discovers cloud services. It refines incomplete or conflicting intents, converts them into a provider‑independent TOSCA template, and retrieves candidate services via deterministic matching. Conflicts detected during interpretation or discovery are resolved through iterative natural‑language negotiation with the user, improving recall, F1, and eliminating hallucinated offers.

Intent Engine: Natural-Language Intent Translation for Intent-Driven Orchestration in the Compute Continuum

Intent Engine is a natural‑language intent translation architecture that converts user intents into validated Service‑level Objectives (SLOs) for compute‑continuum microservice placement. It combines schema‑constrained extraction, retrieval‑grounded value construction from monitored infrastructure, and validation against supported constraints to produce reliable SLO artifacts. In evaluations on a 716‑record dataset, Intent Engine outperformed prompting baselines and a rule‑based parser, achieving a 0.941 total F1 score with GPT‑4.1 mini and reducing downstream placement failures from 30.8% to 2.1%.

Intent2Tc: Automated Intent-to-Traffic Control Translation with Language Models

Intent2Tc is a closed‑loop, language‑model‑driven framework that translates high‑level business traffic‑shaping intents into executable Linux traffic‑control (tc) configurations. It uses an AQM‑based digital twin semantic model, automated metadata extraction, critique‑driven refinement, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation to improve semantic consistency and configuration reliability. Evaluation on 100 RFC 9315‑compliant intents shows high semantic fidelity and deployment readiness, with Claude Sonnet‑4.6 achieving 0.98 semantic similarity and 0.045 normalized edit distance, while RAG reduces token consumption and latency for compact models.

Grounding LLM Agents in Business Processes: Process-Aware Knowledge Graphs for Reliable Multi-Step Service Invocation

The paper introduces a method to improve large language model agents that invoke enterprise APIs by embedding process and schema constraints into a typed property graph. By integrating OData metadata and BPMN reference processes, a hybrid retriever can identify correct endpoints and follow process edges, boosting Recall@3 for low lexical overlap queries and enabling more reliable multi-step service invocation. Experiments on 42 enterprise services and 81 multi-step queries demonstrate significant gains over baseline approaches, with a marked reduction in invalid API calls.

INTENT-AS-A-TOOL Makes it Easy to Track Agentic Misalignment

The paper introduces INTENT-AS-A-TOOL, a method that equips large language models with intent-targeted tools to provide a fine-grained, judge‑free signal of their commitment to specific behaviors during reasoning. By monitoring the probability of calling these intent tools, the authors can track how intent evolves throughout generation, complementing chain‑of‑thought monitoring and expanding post‑hoc labels into dense trajectories. The approach identifies critical steps for online intervention, demonstrating that action preferences are useful for detecting agentic misalignment in autonomous agents.

Generative Spatiotemporal Intent Sequence Recommendation via Implicit Reasoning in Amap

The paper introduces GPlan, a generative framework for Generative Spatiotemporal Intent Sequence Recommendation (GSISR) that integrates large language model reasoning into lightweight models. It employs Progressive Implicit CoT Distillation to compress reasoning into latent tokens for low-latency inference, and Spatiotemporal Counterfactual DPO to align plans with real-world constraints, improving sequence coherence and context responsiveness. Experiments and online A/B tests confirm the effectiveness of these techniques, and the authors provide an implementation and dataset on GitHub.

IntentCoding: Amplifying User Intent in Code Generation

IntentCoding is a decoding strategy that amplifies user intent in large language model code generation by masking the intent and applying a multi‑strength ensemble mechanism. It is model‑agnostic, requires no extra training, and integrates with existing decoding procedures. Experiments on the new CodeConstraints benchmark and other datasets show significant improvements in constraint satisfaction and functional correctness, with up to 71.0% relative gains on CodeConstraints and 29.3% on HumanEval and LiveCodeBench compared to greedy decoding.

Autoresearch for Marketplace Catalogs: From Legacy Forms to AI-Native Matching

The paper describes a new approach for two‑sided service marketplaces that replaces fixed request forms with AI‑native probabilistic matching using large language models. It introduces an autoresearch loop that generates a provider‑side preference taxonomy for each occupation, iteratively refining candidate tag sets through a six‑rubric LLM judge and a seven‑critic panel. The system also maps legacy form questions back to the new taxonomy, enabling coverage assessment and human quality assurance.

Towards Proactive Detection of User-Side Implicit Conflicts in Human-LLM Dialogue

The paper introduces UC-Bench, a human‑annotated benchmark for detecting user‑side implicit conflicts in Human‑LLM dialogue, a problem largely overlooked compared to LLM‑side conflicts. Experiments show current LLMs struggle with these conflicts, especially when they stem from implicit incompatibilities in dialogue history. To address this, the authors propose SynUC, a constraint‑guided data synthesis method that generates a new training set, UC‑Data, which improves performance of lightweight LLMs on UC‑Bench compared to larger general‑purpose models and existing synthesis approaches.
