The paper introduces ACTMED, a diagnostic framework that combines Bayesian Experimental Design with large language models to emulate real‑world clinical reasoning. ACTMED actively selects the most informative test at each step, using LLMs to simulate patient states and update beliefs without needing task‑specific training data. The authors evaluate the system on real datasets, demonstrating improvements in diagnostic accuracy, interpretability, and efficient resource use while keeping clinicians involved in the decision loop.

arXiv:2606. 30335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous scientific discovery systems increasingly use large language models (LLMs) to propose new hypotheses, but many such systems condition primarily on experimental memory: archives of high-scoring candidates or heuristic summaries of recent trials.

arXiv:2608. 19790v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discovering materials with desirable properties often requires searching large candidate spaces while experimental or computational evaluations remain costly.

The paper introduces EXPO, an algorithm that automatically optimizes the meta-prompt—specifically the task description and meta-instruction—for large language model agents in sequential decision-making tasks such as Bayesian optimization and multi-armed bandits. Building on adversarial bandit techniques to handle non-stationary rewards, the authors extend EXPO to EXPO-ES, which also optimizes exemplars (historical interactions) within the meta-prompt. Experiments demonstrate that these methods significantly improve the performance of LLM-based agents in sequential decision-making scenarios.
