Offline Preference-Based Trajectory Evaluation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 17541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline evaluation of agentic systems often collapses trajectories to terminal success, discarding information about partial progress and inducing widespread ties, creating substantial statistical inefficiency by reducing effective sample size and weakening the ability to distinguish systems.

Behavior2Trip: Towards Personalized Travel Planning via User Behavior Trajectory

Behavior2Trip introduces a new task—Behavior‑Aware Travel Planning—where user preferences are inferred from past behavior trajectories rather than explicit instructions. The benchmark contains 11,400 instances from a major Chinese travel platform, each with nearly 40 recorded behaviors across 14 attributes and 5 preference dimensions. A reinforcement‑learning agent, B2T‑Agent, leverages these trajectories, external retrieval tools, and internal memory, outperforming GPT‑4.1 and other baselines on the dataset.

Behavior2Trip: Towards Personalized Travel Planning via User Behavior Trajectory

Behavior2Trip introduces a new task—Behavior‑Aware Travel Planning—where user preferences are inferred directly from past behavior trajectories rather than explicit instructions. The benchmark contains 11,400 Chinese travel‑planning instances, each with an average of 39.8 past behaviors across 14 attributes and 5 preference dimensions. A reinforcement‑learning agent, B2T‑Agent, leveraging behavior trajectories, external retrieval tools, and internal memory, outperforms strong baselines such as GPT‑4.1 on this challenging dataset.

RideWay: Benchmarking Efficient Task Completion for Tool-Using Language Agents

RideWay is a new benchmark that evaluates ride‑hailing language agents not just on task completion but on interaction efficiency. It introduces the Efficiency Utility metric, which penalizes agents for excessive tool calls and user‑facing turns relative to a task‑specific reference effort, with human preferences used to calibrate the penalties. Across 58 tasks and 24 models, the metric shows that extra dialogue is penalized more heavily than extra tool use, and it achieves high accuracy in distinguishing trajectories that differ in turns but struggles when differences are only in tool calls.
