DynSTEER: Dynamic Stage-wise Trajectory Evaluation and Execution-time Review for Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DynSTEER is a dynamic stage‑wise trajectory evaluation framework designed for large language model agents performing long‑horizon tasks. It segments rollouts into stages anchored by key actions, uses a path‑tolerant milestone graph to accommodate diverse valid strategies, and adaptively routes queries to multi‑tier judges while halting unrecoverable executions early. Experiments show it improves evaluation discriminability by 85.2% over native methods, separates all model pairs with statistical significance, and saves 34.51% of execution steps on failed rollouts.

Automated Trajectory Evaluation for Mobile Agents via Step-Level Consequence Reasoning and Aggregation

The paper introduces CRATE, a two‑stage vision‑language model framework that evaluates mobile agents by reasoning about each step’s consequences and aggregating this evidence to assess task completion. It also presents CRATE‑S, an extension that evaluates operational safety. Experiments show CRATE and CRATE‑S outperform existing benchmarks, achieving high F1‑scores on AndroidWorld and MobileRisk datasets.

UniACE: A Unified Framework for Evaluating LLM Agentic Capabilities

UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.
