A Negotiation-Aware Hybrid LLM Framework for Intent Interpretation and Service Discovery

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces a negotiation‑aware hybrid LLM framework that interprets natural‑language intents and discovers cloud services. It refines incomplete or conflicting intents, converts them into a provider‑independent TOSCA template, and retrieves candidate services via deterministic matching. Conflicts detected during interpretation or discovery are resolved through iterative natural‑language negotiation with the user, improving recall, F1, and eliminating hallucinated offers.

Intent Engine: Natural-Language Intent Translation for Intent-Driven Orchestration in the Compute Continuum

Intent Engine is a natural‑language intent translation architecture that converts user intents into validated Service‑level Objectives (SLOs) for compute‑continuum microservice placement. It combines schema‑constrained extraction, retrieval‑grounded value construction from monitored infrastructure, and validation against supported constraints to produce reliable SLO artifacts. In evaluations on a 716‑record dataset, Intent Engine outperformed prompting baselines and a rule‑based parser, achieving a 0.941 total F1 score with GPT‑4.1 mini and reducing downstream placement failures from 30.8% to 2.1%.

Intent2Tc: Automated Intent-to-Traffic Control Translation with Language Models

Intent2Tc is a closed‑loop, language‑model‑driven framework that translates high‑level business traffic‑shaping intents into executable Linux traffic‑control (tc) configurations. It uses an AQM‑based digital twin semantic model, automated metadata extraction, critique‑driven refinement, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation to improve semantic consistency and configuration reliability. Evaluation on 100 RFC 9315‑compliant intents shows high semantic fidelity and deployment readiness, with Claude Sonnet‑4.6 achieving 0.98 semantic similarity and 0.045 normalized edit distance, while RAG reduces token consumption and latency for compact models.

Grounding LLM Agents in Business Processes: Process-Aware Knowledge Graphs for Reliable Multi-Step Service Invocation

The paper introduces a method to improve large language model agents that invoke enterprise APIs by embedding process and schema constraints into a typed property graph. By integrating OData metadata and BPMN reference processes, a hybrid retriever can identify correct endpoints and follow process edges, boosting Recall@3 for low lexical overlap queries and enabling more reliable multi-step service invocation. Experiments on 42 enterprise services and 81 multi-step queries demonstrate significant gains over baseline approaches, with a marked reduction in invalid API calls.

INTENT-AS-A-TOOL Makes it Easy to Track Agentic Misalignment

The paper introduces INTENT-AS-A-TOOL, a method that equips large language models with intent-targeted tools to provide a fine-grained, judge‑free signal of their commitment to specific behaviors during reasoning. By monitoring the probability of calling these intent tools, the authors can track how intent evolves throughout generation, complementing chain‑of‑thought monitoring and expanding post‑hoc labels into dense trajectories. The approach identifies critical steps for online intervention, demonstrating that action preferences are useful for detecting agentic misalignment in autonomous agents.
