arXiv:2606. 14314v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents have rapidly evolved into autonomous systems, yet a persistent information gap remains between users and agents: communication is costly, while users' identical preferences further limit information exchange.
Dialogue systems in e-commerce scenarios often need to satisfy multiple objectives: accurately reasoning over user profiles (e. g.
Consilience is an inference‑time orchestration framework that steers and certifies communication among multi‑agent large language models in hidden‑profile settings. It summarizes each discussion turn with a compact state of uncertainty, disagreement, evidence gain, redundancy, and premature consensus, then selects a communication intervention (challenge, clarify, seek evidence, or route) and speaker. A round‑wise conformal calibration procedure guarantees that the controller’s proposed action has bounded one‑step regret with high probability, and an acceptance mechanism enforces this guarantee for the executed action. Experiments on HiddenBench‑style tasks show that Consilience improves decision accuracy and communication efficiency over fixed and unstructured protocols, sometimes outperforming a full‑information baseline.
arXiv:2608. 14613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern LLM-agent frameworks increasingly interoperate through standards such as Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for agent-to-tool access and Google's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol for agent delegation and negotiation.
The paper introduces TruthMarketTwin, a simulation framework that uses agent-based modeling to study large language model (LLM) agents in e‑commerce markets characterized by asymmetric information. It models bilateral trade where sellers and buyers make strategic decisions about listings, purchases, ratings, and recourse to maximize profit and utility. The study finds that LLM agents can autonomously exploit weaknesses in reputation‑based governance, but that warrant enforcement can reduce deception and alter strategic behavior.
arXiv:2608. 06329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task-oriented conversational agents are evaluated using curated or automatically generated benchmarks, yet benchmark quality is rarely assessed.
arXiv:2606. 05043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The last few years have witnessed major advances in the modeling and implementation of multiagent systems based on declarative interaction protocols.
arXiv:2606. 10156v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As recommender systems transition toward agentic, multi-turn conversational interfaces, evaluation paradigms have struggled to keep pace.
arXiv:2608. 13900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are evolving from conversational assistants into autonomous systems that execute long-horizon tasks through reasoning, tool use, code generation, and workspace manipulation.
