Tool use, function calling, orchestration and the protocols that let models act rather than only answer.
arXiv:2601. 14232v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pixel-based reinforcement learning agents often fail under purely visual distribution shift even when latent dynamics and rewards are unchanged, but existing benchmarks entangle multiple sources of shift and hinder systematic analysis.
arXiv:2602. 11103v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite rapid progress on coding agents, progress on their multimodal counterparts has lagged behind.
arXiv:2603. 12056v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal agents can now tackle complex reasoning tasks with diverse tools, yet they still suffer from inefficient tool use and inflexible orchestration in open-ended settings.
arXiv:2607. 01043v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Memory-based discrete vision-language navigation (VLN) agents must act under partial observability, yet even strong frozen backbones remain vulnerable at test time.
arXiv:2605. 03847v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Distributed collaborative intelligence (DCI), encompassing edge-to-edge architectures, federated learning, transfer learning, and swarm systems, creates environments in which emergent risk is structurally unavoidable: locally correct decisions by individual agents compose into globally unacceptable behavioral trajectories under uncertainty.
In multi-source ECG deployment, models may need to incorporate new data sources when earlier raw ECGs cannot be retained or replayed. Freezing a pretrained backbone and assigning each source an isolated classifier prevents parameter interference, but deployment still requires selecting an expert when source metadata are unavailable.
Multi-agent systems are increasingly used for forecasting future events, as deliberation among multiple LLMs is believed to improve reasoning and calibration. Yet existing approaches overlook a critical design choice: what information each agent receives.
Learning how an environment behaves from interaction is central to building agents that adapt to unfamiliar tasks. World models learned with deep networks are flexible but data-hungry and transfer poorly beyond their training distribution.
Engineering management research has produced mature frameworks for software risk: ownership by feature, escalation by severity, and assurance by test coverage. These frameworks implicitly assume deterministic behavior, discrete and auditable change events, and clear component-to-owner mappings.
Memory has emerged as a cornerstone of modern LLM-based agents, supporting their evolution from single-turn assistants to long-term collaborators. However, memory is not always beneficial: retrieved memories often induce a critical issue of sycophancy, causing agents to over-align with the user at the cost of factual accuracy or objective reasoning.
Memory-based discrete vision-language navigation (VLN) agents must act under partial observability, yet even strong frozen backbones remain vulnerable at test time. Two common failure modes are stale historical evidence at memory readout and inefficient local backtracking during action selection.
Every hand-off in your multi-agent pipeline is an expensive tokenization round-trip. Discover how Inductive Latent Context Persistence (ILCP) transfers a compressed hidden state so downstream agents never have to re-create the same context.
Build and deploy an agent on AWS with Strands and AgentCore The post Build and Run Your Own AI Agent in the Cloud appeared first on Towards Data Science .
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate queries, invoke tools, and construct analytical workflows. Although recent advances have substantially improved workflow generation and execution, the semantic information required to operationalize analytical concepts often lies beyond what is explicitly represented in database schemas and data values.

arXiv:2606. 31085v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction is essential for medication safety, yet it requires reasoning over heterogeneous biomedical evidence whose relevance changes across interaction mechanisms.
