MATCH: Model-Aware Tool Learning with Curriculum Scheduling and Hierarchically Gated Rewards

MATCH is a closed‑loop framework for model‑aware tool learning that combines curriculum scheduling with hierarchically gated rewards. It introduces Model‑Aware Curriculum Learning (MACL), which dynamically adjusts sample difficulty based on reward signals, and Hierarchical Tool‑call Gated Reward (HTGR), which allocates credit at the tool name, argument key, and argument value levels only when prerequisites are met. Experiments on API‑Bank and BFCL V3 show MATCH achieving 72.19% and 62.87% overall accuracy, outperforming both supervised and RL‑based baselines across multiple backbone models.

GraphSkillEvo: Evolutionary Optimization of Graph-Structured Agent Skills

GraphSkillEvo introduces a graph-structured representation for agent skills, where each node encodes an execution step and edges capture context-dependent transitions. This structure offers clearer workflow guidance and reduces redundancy compared to unstructured natural-language skills. The authors then present a population-based evolutionary optimization framework that explores this structured skill space, achieving higher accuracy than the baseline SkillOpt across five agent benchmarks.

Improving Natural-Language Combinatorial-Optimization Accuracy in Resource-Constrained Language Models via Formal Abstractions

The paper introduces SDDL, a neuro‑symbolic framework that converts natural‑language combinatorial scheduling problems into compact, solver‑aligned representations, delegating low‑level modeling and search to a deterministic compiler and external solver. On a 300‑instance subset of scheduling tasks, SDDL achieves higher feasibility rates for resource‑constrained language models—up to 55.3% and 28.3%—compared to direct‑generation baselines (23.7% and 1.3%) and solver‑code baselines (21.7% and 7.0%), with a median optimality gap of 0.0% among feasible schedules.
