arXiv:2606. 01552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-playing agents(RPAs) are widely used to steer large language models(LLMs) toward role-consistent behavior, yet existing benchmarks mainly evaluate surface-level fidelity and offer limited insight into decision making under role-alignment value conflicts.
arXiv:2608. 00023v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Social simulations built from language-model agents need role-conditioned behavior that can be checked before agents are placed into a simulated population.
arXiv:2609.39853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-playing prompting has become a popular yet simple technique for improving LLM reasoning and output quality. However, whether it consistently boost...
The paper introduces a diagnostic framework to disentangle the effects of character profile axes—Familiarity, Structure, and Disposition—on large language model role‑playing agents. Experiments on 211 personas and five LLMs show that Familiarity and Structure have little impact, whereas Disposition, particularly immoral traits, consistently degrades performance. The authors propose Field‑Aware Contrastive Decoding (FACD), a training‑free method that mitigates this performance gap without harming moral‑character performance.
arXiv:2608. 03166v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-Playing Language Agents (RPLAs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes applications such as healthcare assistance, customer support, and education, where maintaining consistent personas, ethical constraints, and behavioral coherence under adversarial pressure is critical.
arXiv:2607. 05775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to use tools, plan multi-step tasks, coordinate with other agents, and operate over extended horizons.
arXiv:2608. 11236v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Roleplay evaluation should do more than assign a single score: it should reveal which role requirements were tested, which failed, and which dialogue evidence supports the judgment.
PADM'E is a method for synthesizing preference‑aligned data to meta‑evaluate language‑model (LM) evaluators of agentic behaviors. It reframes meta‑evaluation as a preference judgment problem, generating criterion‑based data with small LMs and no human involvement. In a prototype, PADM'E produced 1,000 samples across four domains and three criteria, and human validation showed agreement with human judgment rising from 73% to 85% compared to a naive baseline.
arXiv:2608. 07642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values remains a major challenge, especially for trustworthy AI.

KC-Bench is a dynamic interactive benchmark designed to evaluate how large language model agents reconcile user instructions, internal knowledge, and real‑time environmental observations. It contains 238 manually curated multi‑turn tasks that test world‑knowledge conflicts, input inconsistencies, and multi‑source temporal conflicts, using a user simulator, stateful tools, deterministic environment assertions, an open‑source natural‑language evaluator, and human trajectory verification. Evaluation of nine models—including DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash, GLM‑5.2, and MiniMax‑M3—reveals significant cross‑domain variation, with no model reliably handling factual correction, identity consistency checking, and temporal conflict resolution across all settings, and shows that missed conflicts can propagate to tool calls or synthetic protected‑data flows.
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to use tools, plan multi-step tasks, coordinate with other agents, and operate over extended horizons. Reported benchmark gains often obscure recurring failure modes documented across otherwise unrelated evaluation efforts.
The paper introduces AdvRole, an adversarial closed‑loop curriculum for training role‑playing agents with large language models. It alternates between an Actor that learns to role‑play and a Rewriter that edits character profiles and dialogue contexts into hard scenarios, using a performance‑gap reward to target the Actor’s weaknesses. Experiments on English, Chinese, and a new multilingual benchmark demonstrate that AdvRole consistently outperforms baseline methods.
