Grounded Normative Rule Generation with Structured Search

The paper introduces Grounded Normative Rule Generation (GNRS) and a new framework called GNRS-Search that uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to optimize a discrete And-Or Graph for rule synthesis. By separating operational feasibility from prose generation, the method localizes rule failures before final text creation. Evaluations on GNRS-Bench and RealCharter-Bench show significant improvements in rubric quality and executable metrics, demonstrating that the gains come from robust operational logic rather than stylistic tuning.

From Statute to Control Flow: Span-Grounded Deontic Trees for Defeasible Scope Parsing

arXiv:2606. 08932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rule-following agents tasked with executing policies and regulations often fail via Silent Scope Omission (SSO): a model applies a general rule but silently drops nested exceptions or counter-exceptions, producing outputs that appear compliant yet break on important edge cases.

Agent Gym: A Framework for Continuous Evaluation and Evolution of LLM Agents Through Human-in-the-Loop Feedback

arXiv:2608. 15591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve.
