The paper introduces LAST-CQ, a five-agent, training‑free, execution‑grounded framework for Text‑to‑Cypher that evaluates which components of an agentic pipeline contribute most to performance. Experiments on 2,471 live‑database queries across six backbones show that removing correction reduces execution‑BLEU by 3.1–12.3%, while substituting schema‑grounded feedback with raw error strings has negligible impact. Parallel sampling degrades quality by 10–11%, whereas failure detection and retry routing recover 91.7% of initially failed queries, highlighting that simple failure handling is more effective than sophisticated feedback or increased sampling.

The paper investigates how language‑model judges can make version‑dependent errors when evaluating upgraded agents. Using 35 public coding‑agent submissions, two customer‑service agents, and over a thousand expert‑labeled trajectories, the authors show that fixed judges often reject task‑conditioned error invariance and can incorrectly approve failed patches, especially as agent capability increases. Paired audits of current outputs reduce interval width only marginally, and the study concludes that independent human patch review is still necessary.

Every memory-based knowledge editor in the SERAC lineage depends on a scope decision: given a query, does a stored edit apply? We report that current knowledge-editing benchmarks cannot measure this d...
The study analyzes 373,019 judgments from LLM‑scored benchmarks, decomposing variance into system, item, judge, and interaction components via generalizability theory. It finds that with a single judge, generalizability converges to a ceiling determined by the system‑by‑judge variance, which is substantially lower in pairwise preference settings, allowing one judge to suffice. The research also reveals significant biases in presentation order and highlights that many published win‑rate claims fall below the measured floor of the benchmarks.
