arXiv:2608. 15755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: User-centric multi-turn agents must act on an evolving task situation shaped by changing user intents, accumulated tool-grounded facts, missing information, and execution constraints.

The paper introduces mutable transcripts, an interaction paradigm that lets users edit prior turns in a chat, turning the conversation history into an editable state rather than a fixed record. A prototype was built and tested with 17 participants, who preferred mutable transcripts over standard chat for clarity, confidence, and ease of use, and reported less need to restart conversations. Analysis of user study transcripts shows that mutable transcripts can shorten conversations and remove outdated context, suggesting that user-driven revisions improve interaction quality.

The paper introduces a lifecycle framework for LLM-as-a-Judge systems used to evaluate recommendation explanations at Netflix. It outlines four phases—Birth, Training, Deployment, and Monitoring—detailing how each stage addresses specific technical and operational challenges. The authors report that after five weeks of A/B testing, judge-aligned explanations increased novel content viewing and successful browse-to-play sessions without quality takedowns.

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.
